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.

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.

HALL SUPERVISORS Mack Biggs w slough The responsibility of hall supervision falls upon the Dean of Women and her dormitory assistants. In Stuyves- ant, Miss Josephine Montgomery, aided by the Senior Ad- visers, guides home-sick freshmen through rushing, and at frequent house meetings, pleads effectively, with her own particular brand of humor, for rubber rather than leather heels on school shoes, a bit more attention to table decorum in the dining-room, and less noise during quiet hours. Miss Hortense Moore serves in the double capacity of assistant freshmen dean and speech professor. Reigning in Monnett is Miss Esther Ostlund, vivaci- ous new Y. W. C. A. secretary. Her chief duties seem to be granting special pers and pleading for a more strict observance of seating arrangements in the dining-room. A music major herself, she can occasionally be persuaded to play for group singing between courses at dinner. In Austin Miss Goldie McCue sits at head table and tactfully advises dignified Seniors, while Miss Ernestine Pavey, a former Mortar Boarder at Ohio State, is her as- sistant. Nocturnal quietude is maintained in the three dorms by Dad Slough. Mr. Biggs, and Mr. Mack. Mrs. Hartman and Mrs. Welch cooperate with the girls at Perkins and Hartupee respectively.
