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.

■- -4c; ' - -v(:f -«.- -v «K- -■»■ ,• « ■ FACULTY Faculty — the word itself conjures to the mind a picture of stern men and wo- men in traditional cap and gown, who make it their task to trap the unwary stu- dent, who give out lengthy assignments, and who keep the collegian ' s nose con- tinually to the grindstone. This unhappy picture has, however, been changed by a group of understanding men and wo- men who form the faculty of Bucknell Ninety-rive Instructors Compose Bucknells Teacnin Force University. The Bucknell instructor is able to enjoy the company of the students and encourages them to visit his office for con- ferences, and informal talks. He is never too busy to give advice, aid, encourage- ment, and inspiration. Numbered am.ong the instructors at Bucknell, are well-known figures in many of the academic fields. Several are authors of widely used textbooks, and many have made definite contributions to their lines of specialization. First row — Griffith, Anthony. Irland. Garman, Shaffer. Drum.

Of primary importance is the fact that the classes are small. This enables the insrtuctor and the student to be on a more intimate basis, thereby en- abling better and more work to be ac- complished. The first year engineering courses are identical for all students. This is a great help for the undecided student to formulate his decision as to which branch of engineering he will pursue. At the end of this year, a student is better able to decide upon his field of concen- tration. The last two years are devoted to more specialized work in the field which has been chosen. Interesting to note is the fact that all engineering stu- dents are required to attend six weeks of summer school. At this time such field work as surveying and machine shop practice are studied. A great improve- ment in the engineering department is the new engineering building completed last fall. Sixteen
