SERVING THE CAUSE authority from the Board of Trustees or the Charter or By-Laws." If for no other reason than for the business manager's own protection, Paul said, this situation should be changed. In June 1959, largely because of the General's urging, the board of trustees enacted the first major revision of the College by-laws in a decade. The administrative organization which it prescribed, with four chief officers "and such other administrative officers as maybe required for the effective administration of the College," remained essentially unchanged for the next twenty years. It was, in effect, the organization which the General had perfected since his arrival in 1956. The officer first named in the by-laws, the dean of the College, was given "primary responsibility," in cooperation with the faculty, "for the development of policies relating to the curriculum, academic standards, instruction, and faculty personnel," as well as direct responsibility "for the administration of the academic program of the College."59 The second-named officer, the dean of students, was assigned responsibility for "student discipline, supervision of all counseling services, student employment and financial aid, student health services, and the coordination of all campus student activities."80 The third-named administrative officer, the business manager, was given "general supervision of all financial affairs of the College, including the budget, purchasing, the maintenance of the physical plant and the operation of auxiliary enterprises."81 The last of the four chief administrative officers, given the by-law title of director of development and alumni relations, was assigned "general supervision of all off-campus activities including the raising of funds, relations with alumni and the public relations program."82 59The first by-laws adopted in 1940 did give the dean "general supervision of instruction and discipline," but this statement had little or no effect upon the way the office was administered at the time. Seymour B. Dunn was dean of the College from 1955 to 1960. He was followed by four deans drawn from the faculty and appointed for five-year terms, but eligible for reappointment: Charles H. Glatfelter (1960-1966), Basil L. Crapster (1966-1970), James D. Pickering (1970-1975), and Leonard I. Holder (1975-1979). The first in a series of assistant and associate deans was appointed in 1966. The 1959 by-laws stated that the chief administrative officers, who served "at the pleasure of the President," were also responsible for "such special duties" as he might assign. For a discussion of administrative officers after 1978, see p. 803. 80John W. Shainline was dean of students from 1957 to 1965. His successor, Frank B. Williams, began his duties early in 1966. 81F. Stanley Hoffman was business manager from 1956 until 1976. Hoffman retired as treasurer in 1977. John J. Schlegel succeeded him in both positions. 82The title of this position became director of development in 1960, although it continued to have responsibility for the alumni office. The incumbents were Robert L. Kunes (1957-1958); Harold A. Dunkelberger (1958-1960); Seymour B. Dunn (1960-1962); Paul G. Peterson (1962-1969); and Robert E. Butler (1969-1978). 79
