MR. E. GARDNER JACOBS, MS. in C. Vice-President and Director of Admissions Mr. Jacobs attended Manlius School, and later came to Bryant, graduating here in l92l. ln his spare time he gives the Tau Ep boys advice and tips on bowling, MISS CLARA BLANEY, B.C.S. Director of Publicity and Public Relations Miss Blaney's job is to see that outsiders know about Bryant and that the students get better acquainted with their College and its activities. She is the spirit behind On the Campus and the Alumni Bulletin , writes the College catalogs, and the one who straightens out problems confronting the editors of the yearbook. Her influence and enthusiasm reach beyond students to alumni with especial attention to all the Bryant rnen in the armed forces. The Bryant Service Club is her special baby and she is always happiest on those days when the BSC, is swamping the post office with packages of candy, cigarettes, sweaters, socks, letters and other things on their way to Bryant fighting men in all parts of the world, MR. JOHN LOGAN ALLAN, MS. in Acct. Executive Secretary Mr. Allan is a graduate of Bryant and has been with the College since l9l9 as a member of the Administrative Staff, He has been besieged lately with queries from the dorm girls as to why they can't have more butter for dinner, and so forth. l-lis absent-minded answers convince us his mind is not alone on wartime food restrictions but also on Bridge, MR. HAROLD S. RIPLEY, BS, in BA. Director of Placements and Student Welfare There's one man at Bryant who knows more about a stu- dent than the student himself does. lvlr. I2ipley's business is to know every student's scholastic standing, ability, and personality so that the employer can be given the person best suited to the job, As the student progresses, teachers and Deans watch his or her character development and study habits, and any other information which may give a clear picture of the student's character is collected in Mr. Ripley's files. Around the campus Mr. Ripley's friendly smile is his trademark and he is always glad to be of service at any time Nine

-l-cn the Graduating Class Seniors of Bryant College: Only a few more weeks before Commencement-commencement for you of a new life of business. With your Bryant preparation for that life, l hope you will be successful business men and wo- men. But more than that, l hope you will be happy men and women. lf you have not received at Bryant more than just training for busi- ness, if you are not finer in character and richer in spirit, if you have not learnecl lessons in living which you will remember, if you have not made friends you will keep-then you have not succeeded at Bryant even though your scholastic achievements will have won you a degree or diploma. But as I have watched you Bryant men and women of l943, I have every confidence that Bryant will be proud of you, that you will be equal to the demands upon you of the chaotic world into which you go. Whether you meet those demands upon the home front or the battle front, l am confident you will meet them with the same spirit you have met the day-by-day problems of your college days. Now for my country, that l still may live, All that l have, all that l am, l give, lt is not much beside the gift of the brave, And yet, accept it, since 'tis all l have. My sincere good wishes to every one of you. Do not forget your College. Come back to it whenever you can. And remember always that, in the words of an alumnus, wherever you go, Bryant is back of you . President
