The Registrar lim M A bl, Sco'1 t lx'vgfi.v!nz1- NOTHER loyal Drake alumnae now serving the University is Emma A1. Scott, Registrar. lt is her ollice that answers more questions from anxious students than any other, because here the grades arc recorded and the grade cards are given out. Here the f1unks are chalked up and from here the D cards, nightmares to all students, are sent on their way home, later to bring angry comments from irate parents. Here also attendance records are kept, and class ahsences are checked, and all of those thousand and one records, that are particularly unintelligihle to undergraduates whose credit hours are short or who wish to know Why they received four and nineftenths hours instead of five. From these records the following interesting information was gathered, concerning Drake's atf tendancc: 1SS2.., ,. ..... 270 1895 ,.,,,.... ........

The Business Manager EDWARD C. LYTTON Bzc.s'i1ws.v Mazzugm' HE DIFFICULT job of keeping the financial balance of the University on il level is the unenviable task of our Iinancial manager, Edward C. Lytton, Whexi even businesses run for a profit find it hard to keep the red away from the ledger sheet, it is surprising indeed that an institution such as Drake University, seeking no profit but that of a rich return in the future of her students, has been able Hnancially to keep her head above water. The past year has been a diflicult one. Colleges and schools have found it necessary to disband. Others have been forced to merge with other institutions, thereby losing the individuality which gives such a rich parcel of memories to every graduate. Unemployment, business failures, the depression, each in turn has left its mark on the universities. The financial depart' ment must meet such conditions. It is a very difficult undertaking, diihcult enough during the very best of times. 'With the tuition supplying only a part of the needed funds other means must be found to supply the ever increasing demands of the school. These means must be worked out by the business manager and his associates. A job requiring the happy combinations of many talents'-such a combination is to be found in Edward C. Lytton, our friend and financial guide. PRoMo'r1oN STAFF. I 153

The Auditor 17141211 L, 'FLR w i'1Hllif0I NIVERSITY Auditor, manager of all ticket sales, in charge of tuition payments,fsueh are the otlicial duties of Fred L. Turhy. YVhile this is a good summation of Mr. Turhy's oflicial duties it gives no hint ahout his real function in school life. It is only through Mr. Turhy's kind guidance that many students are ahle to avoid the pitfalls and accidents of financing their way through school. And when the unforeseen does happen and school seems to have hecome only an unfinished dream it is M1'. Turhy who steps in and, through his wise counsel and unquenchahle optimism, points out the possihilities of the impossihlc. For Mr. Turhy hef lieves in the students and they in turn place their faith in him. Time has passed, many students have tiled hefore him and yet he looks up to each newcomer as eager as ever. His warm smile and quiet skill come as an assurance that all will go well. And, strangely enough, it docs hut not without the kindly iigure of Mr. Turhy lurking in the background.
