We were saddened this year by the death of Mrs. Marion Parke Gifford, who will be remembered for her willing services to her college. Mr. Hum¬ phreys seems to be the man with all the money around here, for he is the Bursar. Mrs. Breese assists him. Mr. Garner Roney with an A.B. who attended Rutgers and Harvard, is director of Publicity for the College. Miss Pinkney plays the violin and pilots her Frigate on First Street. She studied at St. Leonard’s College, St. Andrews, Fifeshire, Scotland. Assisting her in the book store is Mrs. Katherine B. Hunt, graduate of Mt. Holyoke with an A.B. Miss Morton manages the College Post Office and hurries letters on to anxious students, be they from their one and only or the office. Mr. John Campbell is Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds. Our Resident Directors are supervised by Mrs. Jennings. Mrs. Warren directs over two hundred girls in Thompson House. Mrs. Clarke is in General Wool House; Miss Goss in Margaret Olivia Slocum House; Mrs. Hume in Griswold House; Mrs. Kelley in Eliza Kellas House; Mrs. Manville in Russell Sage. She is also the Assistant Dean of Women. Mrs. Palmer is in Leland Thompson and Miss Ten Broeke in Caldwell Ide. Mrs. Adams and Miss Ranken are assisting chaperons. Miss Helen Elizabeth Cleaver directs the Albany Hospital Nurses Residence, and Mrs. Tinnerholm is in La Maison Francaise. Everyone quarrels about the superiority of her chaperon, but we know that all are tip-top. The spirit of friend¬ liness between faculty and students is one of the out-standing marks of our college. We hope that this spirit will continue to grow throughout Russell Sage. T wenty-four
