Here are kept the ad- dresses of nine thousand alumni and an egual number of non-graduates. New student and alumni correspondence centers here, and the Ohio Wesleyan Bulletins are mailed from this office. In this building hold forth five men who are the connecting link between Ohio Wesleyan and the outside world, in the realm of new student, alumni, and publicity contacts. Herman Shipps, executive secretary of the university, heads this department, and publishes the Alumni Magazine. Burleigh Cartmell, secretary to the Board of Trustees, is on the road most of the time calling upon alumni and other benefactors of the univer- sity. Carl Cunningham, has stepped into the position of Alumni secretary. Chief among his duties is that of introducing Ohio Wesleyan to high school students who contemplate en- tering college. Carlton Babbs is also serving in the new student field. Gilson Wright, pub- licity director, sends Wesleyan stories to seventy newspapers in Ohio. ALUMNI AND NEW STUDENT OFFICE -425;

ADMINISTRATIVE E ADS Administrative heads of the university are those who, figuratively, keep the good ship Ohio Wesleyan afloat. Treas- urer Donald J. Hornberger is the custodian of university funds, as well as the man on the throne when students get around to the mat- ter of paying their bills. Allen C. Conger, Registrar, has in his possession the record of each student, and the records of prospective freshmen. He is responsible for fraternity and sorority grade lists, which cause much stir and consternation twice a year. Donald B. Watkins, as Business Manager of the univer- sity, does all purchasing for departments and attends to other general business. Russell B. Miller seldom makes himself seen to students, but some realize that he is in a large measure responsible for the size and completeness of the university library. His official title is that of Librarian. Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds is John Hickson, who sees that stu- dents are made to keep off the grass , and who supervises a staff of men who work to keep the Ohio Wesleyan campus a thing of beauty.
