Mr. Richards continued to add books to the eighty-thousand volume collection that is housed in Seymour library. The record collection expanded rapidly and the students became more acquainted with its value. The library was staffed by twenty persons. Fifteen are students who work on an average from eight to ten hours per week as clerks. Dr. Headland, Miss Sproul, and Miss Von Goertz are the staff of the Knox College Health Center. An insrease in the number of treatments this year is due to the encour- aging fact that many of these treatments were precautionary. All freshmen are required to take a medical examination. The athletic teams provided much of the activity at the health center with numerous strains and sprained ankles. LIBRARY, HEALTH SERVICE 14
