Mr. Robert M. Aqard, the college librarian, directs the activities in I.an© Library in such a manner that it is a haven for serious students. H© came to Ripon this year from a position in the Library of Congress. His education was at Wesleyan, Columbia and Brown Universities. Dr. J. Frederic Andrews heads Ripon's education department, spreading his enthusiasm and vigor to any prospective teacher. After he taught them to make graphs, his students made one concerning his ties and moods. His education was at Stanford University. Albert Ashworth provided colorful background for his history instruction from h:s boyhood experiences in the Orient. His dog, Star, is a constant companion. Mr. Ash- worth is a graduate of Valparaiso University and has done graduate work at North- western. Dr. Augustus Barker returned to Ripon to resume his professorship in chemistry after military duty. He received his degree from the University of Wisconsin. His gruff manner doesn't fool his students sinco they discovered the soft heart underneath it. Harris M. Barbour gives much food for thought in his philosophy classes. He has been responsible for many lengthy after-hour discussions on the mind and soul. He studied at Brown University and the Newton Theological Institute. Dr. Lansdon Bowen has studied at Princeton, Harvard, and the University of Bordeaux in Sorbonne. But he seems to fit perfectly in his role of assistant professor of romance languages at Ripon. Like the campus itself he is quiet and pleasant. Rage 10

MISS MARGUERITE WICKENDEN More students, both men and women, go in and out of Dean Wickenden'o office daily than any other office on the campus. There they encounter a v drm welcome from a woman who can give them the advice and renewed confidence which are necessary in times like these. In her first year at Ripon Dean Wickenden has become a really popular figure. She has done ex- cellent work in the guidance of Ripon's coeds and through them has helped the campus as a whole. MISS ELVA BOETCHER No one could be more familiar with the college than Miss Beetcher who came here first as a student, later as the secretory to the Deans and now serves as the registrar. In her present position she handles the records of all the students past and present. One can easily understand the complexity of the work. Yet Miss Boetcher is always willing to compute an average cr look up the record of any student who enters her office. WILLIAM ELLIS One of the most thankless jobs on the campus qoes to Mr. Ellis who plans and tries to follow the school budget each year. The demands of students and administration could bo enough to tax the patience of an angel but the business manager quietly con- siders every request. Few realize the importance of the job this busy but quiet man does. The smooth efficiency of campus administration qives evidence of his careful planning and the success of his work. ■ WILLIAM J. PETERMAN Dean Peterman allows no dull moments in his own routine or the lives of the students who work with him. The choir gets ready for a tour, Ver Adest swings through rehearsals, music students learn to sing, and the men get advice—all at the same time. Dean Peterman is an example ol the youth, vitality, ambition, and talents which he strives to brinq out in students. The success of his work demands the respect and confidence of everyone.
