DMINISTRATIO and the opportunity to prepare for the many returning veterans interested in the School of Engineering. Finance Director Arthur P. Loegler and his assistant, Thomas Dwyer, experienced no let-up in duties, as the problems of a small student body and war contracts changed to those of a rapidly expanding student body with 11 majority attending under the provisions of Public Laws 16 and 346. Mr. James XV. Griswald, as Held representative of the Engineering, Science, Management War Training courses and Acting Director of the Department of Cooperative work, shifted his emphasis to the latter. Mr. M. C. Her- rick, Director of Admissions and Student Activities, and Mrs. Margaret Knowles, Dean of Woiiien, found the con- stantly increasing size of the student body a challenge in these areas, and in November, 1946, Mr. Bruce T.

Page Six FACULTY REVIEW HESE past two years have been a period of changes and growth in the faculty of Fenn College. After World War H, many former instructors resumed their teach- ing activities after leaving the armed forces. Dr. D. R. Tuttle, a Lieutenant in the navy, returned to his English classes after spending a few months in Testing and Guidance while on terminal leave. Ray- mond Ray returned from the navy a little grayer, but still ready to turn out his winning swimming teams-he began organizing the swimmers right after he got here last spring. With the growth in college athletics, two new members were added to the department. Miss Jane Pease, a graduate of Lake Erie College, took over the feminine side of the department. George McKinnon, an officer on the illfated U. S. S. Lexington, came to Fenn to coach basketball. To meet the demands of a growing college with returning veterans, Dean Paul R. Anders got John G. McGrew, William von Reichbauer, and John McNeill, to instruct in the Business Administration school. Miss Ambrosia Noetzel came here to teach courses in home economics. Dr. Harold E. Morgan is again holding physics classes after returning from Wright Field in Dayton, Ohio, where he was doing research work for the government. Highlights in the activities of the faculty for the past two years: Alex Rexion, Acting Directors of the Department of Coordination, left Penn to assume Vocational Counsel- ing activities at the YMCA, Dr. Sara Ruth Watson, professor of English, wrote a series of articles on bridges spanning the Rhine River. Professor Joseph Kopas announced the expansion of the Personnel Development Department to accommodate the increas- ing number of ex-servicemen who seek vocational counseling and guidance. A full- time nurse, Gene Stwan Schott, Penn '46, was at work again in the Fifth-floor Health Cfhce. Assistant Professor Ernest C. Harris was appointed as Head of the Department of Structural Engineering. Russell R. Ehrhart replaced James W. Griswold as head of the Personnel Development Department when the latter left to teach at Park College in Missouri.
