THE FACULTY Miss Mildred Singleton with her professional assistants and the student workers, manages to achieve smooth and proper functioning in our library. She keeps the shelves stacked with the latest books on everything, plans current displays of new materials and booklets, and has her own system to avoid loss of books and keep debts down to a minimum. Our Library Trio rates a student vote of appreciation and thanks. For the foreign aspect of vocalization we have white-haired Prof. Stanger. Kindly and easy-going, he ' s a perfect replica of the typical professor. Ruth Koerber, new to our faculty this year, holds exclusive rights in Spanish, and is as- sistant in German. Dr. E. Heyse Dummer, head of the German department, uses the latest in teaching tech- niques, conducting his classes in collegiate slang. Dramatic and militant, he pursues Gezoo faithfully. Other tongue twisters in this department, namely Hungarian and Greek, are set forth by Rev. Dienes and Dr. Richter, respectively. So we ' ll know what and liovy to say it, our English department su[ j lies Profs. Carlson Mildred E. Singleloii, M.S.. Lilirarian. 1943 Harriet N. Traywicic, M.A., Assistant Librarian, 1943 and Breitenbach. Specializing in literature. Prof. Carlson baches ' it with a collection of literary gems which would rival the Chicago library: he likes to travel and is considerate. Barnabas Dienes, M.A., Instructor in Hungarian, 1941; Werner Richter, Ph.D., Greek: Ruth Korber, Pli.D., Assistant Professor of Spanish and French, 1943; E.

Elmer H. Tiedemann Alumni Secretary That tall imposing figure often seen striding across the campus happens to be Mr. Tiedeman, akin to Mr. Leonhardt in that he is treasurer. His office, a place of awe to any but those on the inside, is a quiet sanctuary in which are kept accurate service men ' s records and notes on the alumni. His pet hobby used to be keep- ing track of all couples on campus and predicting their future. His is a brusque, serious, but friendly air. Mr. V. V. Hackley, field representative for the college, keeps business hours in the abode known as the Endowment Office, (headquarters in Old Hall). He ' s one of those workhard, who ' s he? sort of people acting in the capacities of soHcitor- for-funds and donator-getter. At present his office is deep in plans for the 75th Anniversary. NelHe is official manager of the Commons, supervising work besides doing a good share herself. Good-hearted and accommodating, she wrestles with ration books and menus, striving to provide the basic seven meals in our mess hall, where vitamins and calories are dished out three times a day. Mrs. E. Voigt, is our official guest-room pro- vidor. She keeps the infirmary rooms neat and clean and sees to it that overnight and week-end guests are satisfactorily put up for a nominal fee. Meticulous and proper, it is her handiwork which keeps the pillows plump and fluffy, and the mirrors spotless. Matilda Langhorst, Assistant Secretary; V. V. Hackley SL. B., Field Representative of Elm- hurst College; Josephine Tarbell, Secretary Nellie Craft, Manager of the Commons Mrs. E. Voigt, Matron 21

H. L. Breitenbach, M.A., Professor of English, ]907 Karl Henning Carlson, M.A., Professor of English, 1923 Prof. Breitenbach specializes in grammar and writing techniques. He knows Webster by page and Hne, loves nature, and possesses in- formative odds and ends about everything. Quiet Prof. Menzel handles religion classes and frequently conducts chapel. He knows his Bible and often wishes the freshmen did too. Religious education is Rev. Diene ' s field and his classes sing his praises. May I interrupt for only fifty minutes? and philosophy is in session, presided over by quizzical Dr. Richter. His lectures have just the right dash of season- ing to make puzzling philosophical pursuits most palatable.
