PREFACE let? lack at Hnwliug Green. . Open your eyes very wide, and let's really see Bowling Green. The 1955 Key staff has paved the Way for you. Too often, people grow so accustomed to things that surround them every day that they neglect to enjoy them. We want you to look at the University carefully because we've covered just about every inch of it. A View of Bowling Green could very well begin at the Fine Arts Building which houses the Art De- partment. This building breathes a friendly atmos- phereg its inside walls are hung with student art work. Then you could swing across to the center of campus and enter the Administration Building. The first place to stop is the Well, this is the hub of activity. Next, we could shift our vision to the north, where we find the Graphic Arts Building, Falcon, East and West Halls. Also located in this area of the campus is the Chemistry Building, which houses the newest classrooms on campus. Then, gazing in a counter-clockwise direction, we would see the Gate Theatre. In this building, the thespians congregate on one side, and the speech and hearing therapists meet in the other. Between the two departments of the building is located the audi- torium, which is the scene of plays put on by the Workshop players. Across the campus you come face to face with the Library. In this building you can find a cross- section of Bowling Green students. You can find them in the reserve or periodical rooms, in the study or reading rooms. There are athletes, musicians, ar- tists, but there is one thing that they all have in common - they're all students, and they are all studying.

DEDICATIO Dean Florence Currier Dean rch B. Conklin ToYou... We Dediccrte the 1955 Key . . . To you, Florence Currier, Dean of Women, and Arch B. Conklin, Dean of Students, we dedicate the 1955 Key . . . because you both have served the Uni- versity capably and well for a number of years. Dean Currier, you have guided freshmen women through that first difficult year with your wisdom. You have taken a personal interest in every woman student enrolled at the University and also have guided Panhellenic affairs on the campus. Your educational background includes a Bachelor of Arts degree from Ohio Wesleyan University, Dela- ware, Ohio. After graduation you were a teacher and critic-observer at Willis High school, also located in Delaware. Then, you married Professor J. J. Currier, now chairman of the department of jour- nalism at Bowling Green. During the years 1943- 1947 you were houseparents in the Alpha Xi Delta sorority house, then, in 1949 you were named to the position of Dean of Women, a position in which you have served the women students and the University well. Dean Conklin, to your office students take their housing difficulties, personal problems, and make ar- rangements for room and board. Despite all of these activities, you still find time to be the guiding hand of the Interfraternity Council. Your alma mater was the College of Wooster, where you were graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree. Then you did graduate work at Columbia University and received a Master of Arts degree. You were superintendent of schools in Gran- ville, Ohio, for two years, before you moved to Bow- ling Green and went into business. In 1925 you be- came superintendent of Bowling Green city schools and continued there until 1939 when you were ap- pointed Dean of Students at the University. Since then you have been a faithful University administra- tive officer.
