ADMINISTRATIO RIENDLINESS has ever since the founding of Lake Forest been the word which most truly typifies the relationship between the stu- dents and faculty on the campus. Each faculty and administration member takes an individual interest in every student, and the students themselves find it easy to know their professors and advisors quite personally. Whether in the Coffee shop or any other place on campus, students and faculty mix easily. From a faculty of one, Lake Forest has increased its staff so that now there are forty- eight members on this year's faculty. The curriculum has been enlarged and the courses formerly offered have been expanded. It seems hard to believe that this great an increase could have been made in so short a time. Many of us do not know too well who each faculty and administrative member is and what his specific jobs are on the campus. We pause here, then, to give time to each of these memberspthat we may know them even better and know more about them than we do from our classes and informal conversations with them. The faculty is easily divided into four di- visions-the Division of Language, Literature and Fine Arts, Division of Social Sciences, Division of Philosophy, Religion and Educa- tion, Division of Physical and Natural Sciences, and the Department of Physical Education. Each of these divisions and their members will be outlined separately to give a better picture of each faculty and administrative member and his duties. Under the classification of administration we have first our president, Dr. johnson, who came to Lake Forest from the University of Denver as a professor of economics and was head of that department here. He received his degrees at Colorado College, University of Denver, University of Chicago and North- western. Dr. Johnson has written several articles and book reviews which have been printed and serves on many educational committees and councils in the state. We owe a 27

At Kent State University and Arizona State College, she had practical experience in the duties of a dean of women. 1943 to 1944 she worked as director of USO Club and director of women's activities. The man who is responsible for most of us being here at Lake Forest and who is so well known to all of us is Mr. Robert Amaden, Director of Admissions. Mr. Amaden came here from Stevens College where he was ad- missions counselor. He is married and has three children, Sally, Buddy, and Billy. His hobbies include all sports and at one time he was Inter-Collegiate Doubles Champion in table tennis. Miss Marie Meloy, Registrar, is another very familiar figure and she is constantly swamped with questions and problems about various courses. She has been here at Lake Forest for many years and formerly held the position of Director of Admissions and was also secretary to the faculty for several years. Miss Meloy attended Monmouth and did social work in Adrian, Michigan, before coming here. Business Manager of Lake Forest is Ellis C. Halverson, who takes over an infinite number ofjobs on the campus. Mr. Halverson received his education at the University of Wisconsin and Northwestern University. Be- fore coming to Lake Forest he worked at the Milwaukee Vocational School and did public 28 accounting work. Besides his job as Business Manager, Mr. Halverson also finds time to take on the duties of assistant secretary of the Board of Trustees. A former graduate of Lake Forest is Miss Martha Biggs, who also attended the Uni- versity of Wisconsin. Miss Biggs is head librarian for the college and has given much time and effort to make our library a better one each year. Formerly from Manden, North Dakota, she also worked at Bradley University, Peoria, Illinois. Her hobbies include traveling, dress designing and handwork. Director of the Johns-Manville Program is Miss Oma Bishop from Washington. Miss Bishop attended the University of Iowa, and worked at Albany College. She has also had considerable experience in business and at one time was a cost accountant with Johns- Manville.

A member of the administrative staff for twenty-one years is Mrs. Anna Smith, our Director of Dining Rooms. Mrs. Smith was originally from Geneva, New York, and formerly worked at Cornell University in- firmary. Her hobbies include sewing, knitting, dogs, and music.
