C. E. Dammon and M. N. Parkhurst wrestle with schedules. One of the best known men on the campus is Dr. S. J. Miller. Although he graduated from our state rival, Indiana, in 1924, Dr. llliller is as much a part of Purdue's tradition as Heavilon Hall. After coming to Purdue he played a major role in reorganizing and developing Purdue's Student Health Service. The athletic department also depends upon Doon llliller to be on hand at all Purdue sports contests to give im- mediate attention to our injured athletes. Dr. Miller and all of his associates are kept busy since over two-hundred thousand cases are handled each year. During the twenty-four years Dr. llliller has served Purdue, the school has never been closed by an epidemic. . . Records, Bandages, gg, The department in charge of admissions and student records is the registrar's office. Under the efhcient supervision of Clarence E. Dammon, director of admissions and reg- istrar, records are kept of every student of Purdue, past and present. Also under his jurisdiction falls the administration of all entrance exams and the qualification of stu- dents for graduation. Ably assisted by Pro- fessor N. ll. Parkhurst, the registrar has devised more efficient methods of placing, transferring, and testing the students. Com- parable to the identification department of the FBI, the office of the registrar can locate, identify, and provide information about any person who is or has been a member of the Purdue student body. Doc Miller repairs and cares for shopworn Boilermakers. d E C It Dean Knapp gives advice to a pair of confused students. an XPEI1 OUI1S2 Ing Associate Dean W. A.
