FAUULTY C 'FIVE PARLIQY P. Woivnm Presiflcnt Emeritus UPON the death of D. L. McEachron, A. R. Jones, who had been the accountant for WashlJu1'n, took over the duties of treasurer and immediately reorganized the department along the lines which had been tentatively agreed upon between him and Mr. McEachron. Under the stipulations of the new system, students who do not pay the full amount of the tuition must pay down a certain portion and sign notes for the balance-the notes falling due on determined dates throughout the semester. Two other changes were made this year-George A. Guild was elected vice-president, and Miss Gladys Phin- ney became registrar at the resignation of L. D. Whitte- more. Besides having supervision of the college records of enrollment and grades, Miss Phinney recommends and places students in teaching positions. Dr. Philip C. King, completing his eighth year as president of Washburn, has the difficult problem of co- ordinating the numerous departments of the college and acting as a special student advisor. To Arthur G. Sellen is assigned the arduous task of determining the degree requisites and planning the class schedules to avoid conflict as much as possible. Miss Ella Pixley, as secretary and assistant treasurer, receives all tuition payment from the students. Miss Pixley was graduated from Washburn in 1896, and in 1913 she began her work in the college. lt is the duty of this group of faculty members to function as executives in carrying out the administration of the college, and the regulation of student affairs and activities. Under their supervision the business of the college is carried on so smoothly that students are scarcely conscious of the administrative activity. GLADYS PHINNEY, Registrar ELLA PIXLI-XY, Secretary A. R. JONI-:s Treasurer

Philip li. King R. PHILIP C. KING has been president of Washburn college for seven years, and in that time his good nature and well-balanced personality have contributed much to making his administration a success. In advising students, he is always sympathetic, approaching their problems from their point of view. He is always fair and unprejudiced, traits which are necessary to executives of a liberal institution. Most of his' time is occupied with ad- ministrational duties, but in those odd moments of relaxation he generally turns to golf. Dr. King received his A.B., BD. and honorary doctor degrees from Oberlin college, Oberlin, Ohio, and his M.A. from Columbia university. 28
