' TIS BUT TO NOTE THE PASSING TIME Doctor Andruss came to Bloomsburg in 1930 to organize the Department of Commerce, of which he was Director for seven years. After serving two years as Dean of Instruction, he became President in 1939. In addition to substantial contributions to both the Husky and Alumni Loan Funds, he has made available the rovalty of one of his books, BUSI- NESS LAW CASES AND TESTS (originally published by Prentice-Hall, Inc., New York City), for student aid in the form of the President ' s Scholarship. Mrs. Andruss came from a Teachers College family, since her parents are both graduates of Indiana State Teachers College, of which her father was a member of the Board of Trustees, and her brother-in-law was Dean of Men and later Dean of Instruction of the Shippensburg State Teachers College. She is also an organizing member of the Bloomsburg Branch of the American Association of University Women, and, in addition to acting as a charming hostess for many college occasions, is active in the club and community life of Bloomsburg.
