Ralph E. McWhinnie, B.A. T ' istrar nPHE work of the Registrar has changed from that of a bookkeeper to historian. ■ He is ' at present one of the most important of administrative officers of the Uni- versity. He comes in contact with more students than probably any other officiah In former days the Registrar ' s office was one merely of tigures, statistics, and records. Today, his files disclose the university life-history of the student. Not only are the grades shown, but also every activity he entered into in his college career, in fact, everything of importance and interest concerning him is preserved for a permanent record of his university life in the files of the Registrar ' s office. With the increase in the number of details to be recorded, and the steady in- crease in the size of the student body, the personnel of the Registrar ' s office has steadily increased until it is now several times the size of the original force. With its increase in size and amount of work has come a proportionate increase in im- portance and utility, until it is one of the most efficient and useful branches of the administration.

Hishop, M.A., Dean of Women 10 ROBABLY no one realizes the important position and the great responsihihty held hy the Dean of Women. She is the leader of the young women of our campus in every phase of campus activity and helps not only to mold the lives of these girls, hut also to inspire them to observe the laws and ideals common to every social group. Although her powers sometimes verge on policies of restriction, she is not primarily seeking to shackle the women of the campus, but to give to them the benefits of her experiences and better judgment. The Dean is a woman whom every girl respects and admires. She is the guid- ing force to which every girl looks and depends. Page Twciny

J .i ' :n!Tn7iij ' nnT[ifr. Reba M. Davis, B.L.S. ' y II HE l ibrarian is indeed a very important personage in our institution. The ■ students jirobably do not realize what a potent factor the Librarian is in the acquiring of knowledge and the furthermg of research work. She acts as a guide and assistant indirectly to every student. Well trained, efficient, and ever ready to do more than her share in hel]:)ing each individual to obtain the best possible information concerning work being developed by the student. Without her assistance the majority of students would flounder around, lost in the wealth of material surrounding them, unable to make any wise selections or profit by the material at their disposal.
