DEANS OF THE UNIVERSITY Dean Riven hur Dr. Romeyn H. Rivenburg, Dean and Vice-President, earned his Bachelor of Arts and Master of Arts degrees at Buck- nell. After his graduation with the dis- tinction of Summa Cum Laude, he took advanced work at Harvard and Cornell. Following this, he was appointed head- master of Peddie School. In 1923 he was called back to his alma mater to accept the position of Dean. In this capacity. Dean Rivenburg has earned distinction for himself as an executive and as an understanding friend of all. Dean Rivenburg. Tlie Otlier D eans Bucknell is unusually fortunate in hav- ing three exceptionally capable Deans. Mrs. Dorothy T. Dyer, Dean of Women, has held positions at the Universities of Minnesota and Ohio State. The possessor of an M. A. in Psychology, she has pub- lished a study of her own in this field. Dr. Ralph E. Page, Dean of Men, came to this position last fall as a successor to Dr. Sutherland. His acceptance of the office placed this Deanship in the hands of a veteran in student affairs. Dr. Wil- liam A. Shimer also was appointed to his position as Dean of the Faculty last fall. He is the first man to hold this newly- created position at Bucknell. Deans Page, Dyer, Shimer, Thirteen • • ' • ' I ' •m

INFIRMARY STAFF The Ziegler Memorial Infirmary stands on top of a hill overlooking the Susque- hanna River, a complete and efficient organization well located and excellently equipped to care for the medical needs of Bucknell ' s student body. Two nurses and a doctor are continually on duty. By the end of four years, most of the stu- dents have become acquainted with the hospital staff by one means or another. This year the heat and light ray treat- ments have been a blessing for numerous cold-sufferers. Care for all minor ailments is included in the standard medical fee paid each school year. The staff of the Carnegie Library serves the same purpose for mental ills as the infirmary staff does for physical ills. Par- ticularly noteworthy on the library staff is Mrs. Elizabeth Wright who is well known as a writer of articles in the maga- zine field. Besides the regular staff, there are 28 students working under the auspices of the student aid plan, who assist in carrying out the library duties. This year about 8,000 books have been added to the collection which brings the total to nearly 100,000 volumes. Plans are underway for a new library building, but until this is completed, the present edifice serves the purpose of a quiet study hall and voluminous course of reference. Fowle, George.
