Registrar The duties of the Registrar, Mr. A. Ray Merchant, include the supervising of regis- tration and the recording of grades. This year registration was IBM programmed; the computer was found to be extremely ef- fective, and its few mistakes were traceable to human error in the information fed into it. In the spring, the Registrar ' s office initiated a plan to microfilm the school records, a plan which would facilitate their handling and which would save a great deal of space. Mr. A.
