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.

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.

It is in this college that students pursue duties designed to result in a liberal education or a foundation for further specialized studies. This college was the first one established in the University and has ever since been the largest and most important branch of the Plniversity. At present nearly every student in the University is enrolled in some course in this college. While the fundamental i)urpose of the college is to aiTord a liberal and general education, it provides the basis for all professional studies. Every professional college recjuires as preliminaries to entrance, certain Liberal Arts courses. The importance attached to such preliminary studies is shown by the increasing amount of such work required for entrance into the speciaHzed divisions. Dean Soule is also Dean of Men of the L niversity. Twciitv-thvee Q anmiouDBjiLOTLiLttraxixra:
