LIBRARY Often packed in the evenings, the reading and refer- ence room on the fifth floor of Crowell Hall gives priority to Bible, theology, Christian Education, and the Christian ministries. Circulation in this library of ovér 65,000 volumes averaged 400 volumes per week, or a total of around 32,000 this year. In addi- tion to the regular library books, a Chicago Public Library deposit lending service was frequently used. The Periodical Room on the sixth floor received over 400 current periodicals and several Chicago daily newspapers. Dr. Culbertson has observed that ‘‘next to the faculty, the library is the most important part of the school.” ; Accordingly, the Institute with Dr. Alfred Martin as adviser to the library, continued its search for a head librarian. The library staff consists of: Miss Anna Regier, Assistant Librarian; Miss Henrietta Watts, in charge of cataloguing and ordering books; Miss Virginia Lee, Supervisor of the Periodical Room; and ten student assistants. 19

Teachers Of Truth FACULTY DEPARTMENTS A faculty that had a deep desire for each student to grow in grace and in love for the Word of God, made this year more meaningful for the students at Moody. With their many years of previous study in the Word these instructors completed one phase in each students’ relationship to Jesus Christ. Each teacher spent approximately twenty-five hours per week at school, an average of thirteen hours in class and twelve hours in the office. With the one to fourteen faculty- student ratio there was much opportunity for the teacher to know each student. Besides the classes during the week, the teachers held extra discussion classes, preached in churches and conferences, and acted as class and club advisers. Last summer some of the teachers prepared for this year by attending school for advanced degrees, researching for books, traveling in for- eign lands, and teaching in Summer School. 20 Pete dete fag tt ashe £8 AMEE re
