DIVISION OF BUSINESS Henry R. Dwirf. 1 he transition of Trinity into Duke University confronted the administration witli an ever- increasing number of problems. So great were these problems that the administration was divided into groups: the Division of Education and the Division of Business. The latter is responsible for the supervision of room- ing and board accomodations, loans and scholarship funds, the purchase of supplies, the collection of accounts, provisions for classrooms, and the superintendence of the buildings and grounds of the East and West campuses. Henry R. Dwire, at the death of President Few, became Vice President in the Business Division and Treasurer of the University. Previously, Mr. Dwire was head of the Alumni Office and in charge of all public relations of the University. Charles S. Markham, Assistant Treasurer and Bursar of the University is in charge of the business affairs of the University and the organization of assistants working in the Treasurer ' s office. Frank C. Brown, who first came to Duke in 1909 as a professor of English, has held since 1918 the position of Comptroller. The huge building program for the East and West campuses initiated by the Duke Indenture of 1924 fell under the supervision of this department. The most recent proposals put before the Comptroller have been for the erection of an art gallery on the campus and a huge recreation center to augument the facilities of the West Campus Union. Mr. Charles E. Jordan is Associate Secretary of the University.
