STEIMLE ISBELL HILL FARNHAM BROWN ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICERS Perhaps the most unassuming department on our campus is that group which takes over the role of guidance and administration. They are the ones who look after our students with the idea in mind that they will become good teachers and cooperative citizens when they leave our campus to live in new communities. For straightening our program difficulties and for securing information on progress made in school, students confer with Dean of Administra- tion, Egbert R. Isbell and Mr. C. P. Steimie, Registrar. Guidance in work and in social problems is the endless task of the deans ' offices. Kindly advice and assistance in such matters ore given by Dean of Women, Susan B. Hill; Assistant Dean of Women, Frances Farnham,- and Dean of Men, James M. Brown. In our busy school day we scarcely pause to appreciate the diligent work of these ad- ministrative officers. In their busy day they always find time to straighten out students ' problems, and a smooth running campus is the result of their cooperation. 10

Case Wolfe Owens Sabourin Magoon LANGUAGE To better understand and appreciate the culture and civilization of other peoples, a study of their language is a necessary factor. On the second floor of the library, classes in French, German, and Spanish are held. Classes in Latin are held in Pierce Hall. Training future teachers of language is the task of the staff that is headed by Professor J. hienry Owens. When term papers are due and reference material is needed, the library becomes ex- ceedingly busy, and white slips are passed endlessly across the counter. Miss Elsie V. Andrews, Head Librarian, supervises the busy staff of assistants, who directstudents to Readers ' Guide, the atlases, and magazines,- and who bring out all books needed to complete o course of study.
