Dean C. R. Hamilton Resigns 16-Year Position As Dean of Men Dean C. R. Hamilton has an nounced his resignation from the college. His resignation follows continuous service to the college for the past sixteen years—a pe riod in which he gained respect and admiration from thousands of Clark students who passed through the college since 1946. A tireless worker for the de velopment of student service pro grams, a man whose interest and devotion to the college are unsur passed, Dean Hamilton will be greatly missed. Dean Hamilton came to Clark from Gastonia, North Carolina, where he taught biology at High land High School. In his first few years as Dean of Men at Clark he was a volunteer assistant to the football coaching staff, a fact little known among Clark students to day. Shortly after his coming to Clark he assumed the additional responsibility of directing the col lege’s student recruitment pro gram. Handling this role with the effectiveness which is typical of him, Dean became one of the most highly respected college recruiters in the field. His use of a movie film in recruiting established a practice that has been widely adopted in re- Dean Hamilton cent years. In his principal capacity as Dean of Men, Mr. Hamilton is known as a firm, yet understanding counselor who gives freely of his advice to anyone who asks it and offers it equally as freely. A tireless work er who has many times gone be yond the call of duty in the pur suance of his service to Clark, Dean Hamilton has made many signifi cant developments in the Student Personnel Services Program.
