While the faculty carries on the work of instructing, another group of officers man ' age the business affairs of the college, carrying on necessary functions of administrative tasks without which it would be impossible for the school to continue. Mr. David M. Knight has been secretary of the Board of Trustees and business manager of the college since December, 1916. For a time he was professor of business law and accounting. Mr. Knight received his A.B. and A.M. degrees from Washing ' ton and Jefferson College. He is secretary of the Executive, Finance and Investment, and Budget Committees of the Board of Trustees. He is a member of the American Association of University Instructors in Accounting and of Pi Gamma Mu. Mrs. Bess D. Shannon came here this year as secretary to the business manager. Several students, employed in the clerical work of the office, are under her direction. Miss Hazel Morrow, who was graduated from Park in 1927, is secretary to Dr. Hawley, a position which she has held since her graduation. Miss Alice B. Wimmell, class of ' 28, is secretary to the Dean. She has also acted as part ' time instructor in French. One of the most important positions among the administrative offices is filled by Mr. David T. Kuhn, financial field secretary. Mr. Kuhn has been with Park for three years, coming here in 1928 from Dubuque University. Before his employment at Dubuque he was a Home Missionary in the northwestern part of Canada and a pastor in the Min ' neapolis Presbytery in Minnesota.

At present there are about forty ' five members. Each member is vitally interested in his work and is doing his best con ' tmually to raise the standards of his department. During the past year frequent meet ' mgs of the faculty have been held and special committees have labored to revise and improve the curriculum. In order to keep abreast of the times a college must keep in constant contact with the latest advancements and movements in education. Park is doing just that. Research in the various departments has been done and statistics have been gathered which will aid in bringing about the construction of a curriculum which will offer the best in college instruction that can be obtained in any school the sice of Park. In the previous pages, due to lack of space, no mention was made of the Art Depart ' ment. It is by no means an insignificant part of the Park College program. Through the Carnegie corporation, there has been placed in the library a “Teaching Arts Cob lection, consisting of set of textiles, reproductions in photograph and color facsimiles of the greatest works of architecture, sculpture and painting, as well as original prints from the 16th century to the present. Also in the collection are more than 200 books of the art of every period and people. Mr. W. W. Rosenbaur and Mr. Austin Ketcham are instructors in art, offering courses in elementary drawing and design and in the history of art. Professor A. L. Wolfe offers a course in Greek Life and Art.

Beers, Greene, McCluer, Young The important part the housemothers of the Park dormitories play in our college life should not be underestimated. The seven women who serve in this capacity do much to guide the students in their everyday college life. The excellent condition of the buildings under their care is evidence of the pride they take in their work. In addition to the seven housemothers there are two members of the faculty who serve as chaperons for two women’s dormitories. Miss Virginia Cole is in charge of Stephens and Miss Elsa Grueneberg is in charge of Terrace. Mrs. Bess Shannon, an administrative officer, is chaperon of Hilltop. Mrs. E. B. Guinn is hostess at Thompson Commons, the college dining hall. Miss Gladys Wakefield is dietitian. HOUSEMOTHERS Mrs. Sue V. Greene . . Woodward Hall Mrs. Ruth Schall .
