Abstract
Studying the deans of men from their inception in the early twentieth century to the 1950s presents several challenges. To borrow a phrase, the deans of men are “a riddle within an enigma,” in that they defy easy definition. As Irma Voight, a dean of women and president of the National Association of Deans of Women in 1936 noted, the deans of men owed their existence to the deans of women. Had the deans of women not been so successful, the deans of men may not have been created at all.1
