ADMINISTRATION HEADS OF 0. W. U. w It is these men who see to it that Ohio Wesley an is kept running like a highly specialized machine, smoothly and efficiently. Mr. Donald J. Hornberger, treasurer of the University, is the general svipervisor over all financial reports and business. Much of his time, however, is spent in making investments for the University. Mr. Allen C. Conger, besides teaching several courses in the Zoology department, acts in the capacity of Registrar. It is his duty to take charge of all entrance requirements and the admissions of prospective students. In addition he records the grades of the students and of the fraternities and sororities. Mr. Donald B. Watkins has charge of the busi- ness operations of the college, some of which include the purchasing for the school and supervision of the budget. Moreover, he controls the direct business end of the dormitories. The person in charge of the plant and main- tenance is known to all of us as Mr. John J. Hickson. Among his many duties are those of taking charge of repairs and managing the personnel department. Because of their noteworthy efforts and systematic methods in their work, they have become known to us as the Administration Heads. (Left to rijrht) — Watkins, Cong:er, Hornberger, Hickson.

LIBRARY Year by year the reputation of Ohio Wesleyan ' s library grows in the outside world. This library has be- come one of Wesleyan ' s greatest assets. And yet, in spite of the fact that Slocuni Library is recognized as one of the ten finest college libraries in America, we are too prone to disregard the group of people who operate that library and too apt to forget the valuable service which they render. The chief of the whole library organization is Russel B. Miller, librarian, who deserves highest credit for making Slocum the smooth-running mechanism which it is. Under the guidance of Mr. Miller is an efficient staff composed of the Misses Kelly, Irwin, Gordon, McElroy, Hancock, Ott, Williams, and Chapman whose services, coupled with the management and direction of Mr. Miller, have made the Slocum Library, with its one hundred sixty thousand volumes, a facile instrument for all who care to use it. Slocum has also collections of illuminated medieval manuscripts, the Gunsaidus collection of personal belong- ings of Elizabeth Barrett and Robert Browning, a collec- tion of papal bulls, including those by which Henry VHI and Queen Elizabeth were excommunicated, and a collec- tion of original letters of George Washington.
