Wesleyan Data Sheet Established in 1850, the College of Liberal Arts, together with the Schools of Art Q19-461 and of Drama H9471 of the College of Fine Arts, has academic authority over 1288 students. The School of Music H8791 with 172 students and the 189 students of the Brokaw Collegiate School of Nursing f1959J complete the community of students residing on the 35 acre campus. The generally high calibre of the student body and the at- tractiveness of the institution itself is illustrated by the seven IWU-sponsored and four outside-sponsored National Merit Scholars, and two Presidential Scholars who have joined the crowds that daily invade the 14 classroom buildings and the uniquely designed library. 110,000 volumes, including documents, and 1,200 periodicals and newspapers to which the library subscribes are readily available in open stacks in the 10 quadrants of the three floor modern structure. An audio-visual room seating 70 and study space for 800 students provides ample space for individual study or class gatherings. Stack capacity is 250,000 volumes, and last year over 8,300 volumes were added to the collection and the pace is increasing annually. Class meetings find the 127 faculty members confronted by an average of 30 students, each of whom incurs about 33,500 ex- pense every year for tuition and fees, room and board, books, and incidentals. Every year IWU graduates continue their educations often recipients of the Danforth, Wilsoii, Fullbright, Rhodes, and Rockefeller fellowships.

John King . . . Director of Security Department. Officer King and the Security Department personnel, num- bering two full-time officers, and one part-time officer, are a constant, reassuring reminder that Illinois Wesleyan is not unprotected. Striving to maintain a sense of order and peace within the university, flfficer King views his main objectives as protecting University property from vandalism and safe- guarding the individual rights of the students. While it is his conviction that he has the overall cooperation of the student body and that the need for security is relatively low, the fact remains that there has been a gradual increase each year in the number of cases referred to them. At one time, the Se- curity Department was merely a preventive influence, but today Officer King acknowledges a marked increase in the need for the Security Department. Nevertheless, under the direction of the Security Department, IWU maintains a rela- tively peaceful, calm atmosphere. HEALTH SERVICE few f-t.d..azaf:' X 21- l'i fW 2if.ii53??'ii 32, ls . Velma Arnold, R.N., Ruth Miller, R.N .... Health Service The Health Service, begun in 194-2 by Miss Velma Arnold, R.N., has rendered a valuable service for twenty-seven years. Located in the west suite on the ground floor of Magill Hall, the Health Service assists the student in any way possible al- though it is limited by the fact that it does not diagnose ill- nesses. However, should an emergency arise it is in a position to suggest a professional health clinic for the actual treatment. For the past eight years Miss Arnold has had an assistant in the office to help ease the burden produced by the responsibilities of running the Health Service. Mrs. Miller, R.N., has been an invaluable help in the office. Together they have upheld the high standards exacted by the health professions and through their concern for the health and well-being of the IWU students, they have developed the ser- vice into a greatly appreciated aid. All in all, one must admit, they have given the university more than just aspirin.
