Department of Registrar J. F. MITCHRI.L, A. B., A. M. Fully alive to the fact that no student enters college without having to deal with the Registrar's office, it is the determined purpose of every person connected with the office to welcome gladly and treat courteously all who come in; to render willing and cheerful service to those who in any way need our assistance or counsel; to keep those who demand more than their due, in their proper places; to urge, in the language of business, those who would falter and give up or otherwise miss the greatest oppor- tunity in life, ‘‘to get down to brass tacks ; to create a set of records that are as complete and accurate as much care and work can make them; to give our best energy and endeavor, unceasingly, for the upbuild- ing of your Alma Mater and our Institution.
