acu RALPH YAKEL Professor of Education and Registrar, L.L.B., Illinois Wesleyan University, 1912, A.B., 1913, A.M., Columbia University, 1924, Ph.D., 1930. Registration Day always finds Dr. Yokel going from one conference to another with per- plexed students and baffled faculty. He settles all problems with an ease which has resulted from his thorough knowledge of courses, classes and requirements. His efforts in aid- ing Education students in securing good teach- ing positions also is something many of us will never forget. RAYMOND R. BREWER Professor of Religion and Field Represent- ative. A.B,, Dickmson College, 1916, S.T.B. Boston University, 1921, A.M. University of Chicago, 1928, Ph.D. 1930. There is a warm spot in the hearts of all university students for Dr. Brewer. A friendly person, he has had nearly all students in his religion classes at some time. As Director of Public Relations, with Miss Griner, he has trav- eled to many of the surrounding towns and planned many occasions to introduce Millikin to high school seniors and to show them the high ideals and prospects of life at Millikin. EUGENIA ALLIN Professor and Librarian. B.L.S. University of Illinois, 1903. For the quiet, efficient air of our library, we are grateful to Miss Allin. She has been at Millikin since the beginning and is responsible for the large, well-equipped reference library which we have. Her witty remarks and keen sense of humor have been a surprise to many under-classmen who did not really know her. RUTH WALKER Mrs. Walker has been a second mother to the girls at Aston Hall. Her friendly inter- est and advice is valued highly by them. Her duties have increased with the arrival of the Aviation Students since she has also managed the mess hall for them. Mrs. Walker is an- other person of whom Millikin can well be proud. 18

ur oympnomj . . Dean Miller is responsible for much of the ease with which Millikin has adjusted to its present war- time schedule. The Dean has cooperated to the fullest extent with the Air Corps officials in making Millikin a beneficial and enjoyable place for the Aviation Students. He has spent a busy year in at- tempting to keep the University running smoothly. Scheduling civilian and Army classes so as to avoid conflicts in professor and student programs has been no easy task. For ke eping as much of the old spirit of Millikin as possible we are grateful to him. Dean Hess has spent much time and thought in keeping alive the social life of the University. Work- ing in the capacity of advisers to Panhellenic and the various committees, she had succeeded admir- ably. Her great interest in the Red Cross and its work has been the incentive of many of the students to do their part also. The Red Cross Membership Drive at Millikin owes its success to her efforts. Mrs. Hess is responsible, too, for solving many of the problems of the women students. She has always been available for conferences in the mornings and many of the students have taken advantage of this. 17
