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.

Through the efforts of this organization, 1.682 persons contributed to the Alumni Fund last year. Where new students meet Ohio Wesleyan! — the New Student Office, which corresponds with several thou- sand prospective students of which approximately 400 come to Wesleyan yearly. In an effort to familiarize high school students with the opportunities of Ohio Wesleyan, arrangements are made for special days, during which the visitors are our guests on the campus. The Century Club, under the direction of Miss Mildred Alcott. has been very helpful ill the new student work.

Director of Student Health is Dr. G. T. BIydenburgh, who divides his time between the patients he visits in the Student Hospital and those who visit him in his Edgar Hall office. He keeps strict tab on all students, a record being made every time anyone applies for treatment, and a physical recheck being required each year for sports participation. His recommendations to ailing students vary from an examination by a Columbus specialist to a weekend of rest and orange juice in the Student Hospital. Nurse in the Health Office is Miss Kuntzman. petite, soft-voiced, and brown-eyed, who specializes in cold treat- ments and from whose hands Wesleyan men will take any- thing and like it. Other staff members are Miss Knight, Dr. Blydenburgh ' s secretary. Miss Myers, Superintendent of the Student Hospital, Miss Hawkins, and Miss Worline, motherly night nurse who has served in that capacity for eight years, seven days a week. This year the Health Department was faced with the rather unique problem of finding enough beds to accom- modate the numerous victims of the flu epidemic. The situation came to a climax during February, when it be- came necessary to equip the Hospital Annex for the first time in years, and even Austin Study Hall was turned into a ward with no visitors allowed.
