Dr. George G. Struble, associate professor of English, is also adviser of the Green Blotter Club, the Wig and Buckle Club, and chairman of the faculty boards which direct student publications. Before coming here he lived in the central states and taught for a time in the Philippines. Dr. Paul A. W. Wallace, professor of English, is a true gentleman and a scholar ... a worthy example of the manly man about whom he so often speaks. His lectures are masterpieces of English composition. Right now the entire campus is anxiously awaiting the completion of the book upon which he is working. Miss Margaret Wood, instructor in hygiene, political sciences, and economics, spends her non-teaching moments regulating the college diet, nursing infirmary-confined students back to health, and looking after the social welfare of her South Hall charges. Each week end she rushes off to Phila- delphia, usually accompanied by Marjorie Anne, to do re- search work for her doctor ' s degree. Rev. W. A. Wilt, pastor of the College Church, fills the pulpit of what is probably the most difficult charge in the conference. Pre-theological students often find their way to his study for advice. Speaking in chapel about once a week, he sometimes becomes the object of rather pointless but pointed criticisms, which more than anything else indicate merely that something he has said really hit home. This Familiar Group Keeps College Records and Accounts Straight 15

Nella Miller is an accomplished concert pianist as well as professor of piano. Miss Miller practices faithfully in spite of her full teaching schedule. Before coming to the local con- servatory, she taught at the Juillard School of Music in New York. Hiram H. Shenk, professor of history, is one of the most popular professors in the college. His command of historical facts is unquestionably amazing, and his lectures are un- usually well illustrated with little historical anecdotes which bring life to his subjects. Ella Moyer, professor of music theory, is indeed one of the good scouts of the conservatory. Her wide interests, youthful personality, humor, and ready conversation make her a favorite with college students as well as with her own pupils. Helen E. Myers devotes most of her time to her work as college librarian. Indeed, she is so conscientious in overseeing the work that for the short time she was unable to come to the library this winter, she sent daily notes of instruction to her assistants. Dr. Paul O. Shettel, professor of philosophy and religion, came to us directly from the great philosopher, George Boaz. The ease with which he uses complicated philosophical terms and his unexpected sparks of humor leave his classes open- mouthed. Dr. Stella Johnson Stevenson, professor of French litera- ture, has a thorough knowledge of the language bolstered by a summer spent abroad. She is especially noted for the astounding patience with which she conducts her classes. Dr. G. A. Richie, professor of Bible and Greek, has a dual personality. One is the serious professor that is met in class; the other is the snappy little fellow who gives pep talks in chapel during the football season. Dr. Clyde S. Stine, professor of education and instructor of public speaking, has been with us a comparatively short time. Because his courses are certainly not snaps, it might be said that the students do learn to work under him. Edward P. Rutledge, professor of band and orchestra in- struments, also directs the College Band, the Girls ' Band, the Symphony Orchestra, the Chorus, and the Glee Club, as well as the Beacon Hill Chorus, which for the past three years has been adjudged the best rural chorus group in the state. All the members of these organizations are eager to tell of his abilities as a director and his tireless energies. Dr. Milton L. Stokes, professor of business administration and economics, is also adviser of the girls ' debate team. He is a true internationalist, being a citizen of Canada, a resident of the United States, and a champion of South America. His efforts were instrumental in bringing to the campus, for the first time, a chapter in a national fraternity. Pi Gamma Mu, the National Honorary Social Science Fraternity. 14

Student Self-government at Lebanon Valley in the last year took another forward step with the formation of two separate governing bodies for the day students. This move adjusted in large part the unequal distribution of governing power and granted the day students a voice in government equal to that of the resident students. In the words of Dean Stonecipher, who directed the creation of the new groups after a careful survey of conditions on other campuses, the purpose of the new setup is to provide a more equal distribution of representation in student government along the lines of natural division. Accordingly, there are now four operative representative bodies, each of which has limited legislative and judicial control over a definite group of students. These groups are the Men ' s Senate and the Women ' s Student Government Association, the organizations whose member- ship is decided in elections by the resident men and women students respectively, and the Men ' s Day Student Congress and Women ' s Commuters Council, the bodies whose members are named by the day students. In addition there is a fifth organization, the Student- Faculty Council, which likewise underwent a rearrangement so that it now has a wider representation and is more effective in operation. Its prime function is to act as a clearing house for the various problems of campus life.
