GENERAL OFFICE I am sure that faculty, alumni, the student body, and the public in general need no explanation as to where the general office is located. Occasion- ally on the first day of an enrollment when we move the general office, so to speak, to the gymnasium, and some freshman student is asked to report at the general office the next morning, he invariably says, “Just where is that?” Students soon discover the location of the general office if through no other method than a search for the student mail box. As the name would indicate, the general office is a sort of “clearing house” for the business activity of the college. The office has charge of all finance matters, tuition, fees, admissions to atheltics, contests, concerts, plays, loan funds, dormitory rents, cafeteria receipts, and the routine process entailed in the expenditure of such funds. In administering the duties of the office it is our desire to be efficient, accurate, courteous, and at all times to be of the greatest possible service to the faculty and student body.

 USS Hall, thejadministration building and first building on the campus, was erect- ed in 1908. It was named in honor of prin- cipal R. S. Russ, a noted executor and in- structor. During the summer school term in 1914, a bolt of lightning not only destroyed Russ Hall, but endangered the very existance of the college itself. Immediate and decisive action was necessary if summer school were to be continued. Consequently the citi- zens of Pittsburg rose to the full height of the occasion and within thirty-six hours had pledged $136,000 for the rebuilding of Russ Hall, which was in use the following year.
