BALCH BROWSING ROOM IN TOLL HALL

Page 19 text:

ORSEY Hall, during its second year, has succeeded in liv- ing down the reputation imposed upon it by the refiain: There are no quiet hours in Dorsey I-lallf, And this in spite of the fact that we are all songbirds, for did we not win for two years in succession the handsome silver loving cup given by Miss Atsatt in the interhall song contest? On all occasions Dorsey Hall, led by its chairman, Betty Lewis, and its representative, Rita Haskin, displays great en- thusiasm for extra-curricular activities, and always Participates in campus projects. Perhaps nothing is more indicative of the social unity within the hall than the popularity of the loggias as rendezvous, where continuous discussions of vital problems are carried on. An- other Popular gathering Place is the browsing room. There, one is apt to find every comfortable chair occupied, and the brows- ing continues through the still and lonely hours of the night. 7

FACULTY T has been wisely for unwiselyj said that a college faculty should rank as one of Carlyle's Eternal Verities. Be that as it may, it is an unquestioned truism that one of the greatest advantages of the small college is the opportunity it ofltrs for close partnership between professor and student. It is our priv- ilege at Scripps to develop and maintain close Hiendships' with our teachers, who so often term themselves Hftllow-students. Dr. Ernest Iaqua occupies the comprehensive oftice of presi- dential patriarch, provider, guide and mentor for his college. I-le is ably assisted by Miss Evelyn Kay, his secretary. Dean Isabel Smith, aided by Bambi the Chow, administers the more intimate details of our communal lift. Her whole-hearted co- operation with our Student Government, has been supple- mented by her activities as mediator between the Administra- tion and the Student Body. Her willing amanuensis, Miss Ioan Rudisell, is responsible for much of the careful detail work of the office. Filling out the administrative mechanism, Miss Marjorie Crouch and Mrs. Charlotte Duniway complete the staff: Miss Crouch, as Registrar, possesses the enviable reputation of know- ing more about Scripps than Scripps does. Mrs. Duniway, as ulnformationn and publicity writer, manages six telephones simultaneously with a pracfticed hand. Miss Dorothy Kuebler, director of the halls, provides for our domestic affairs. William S. Ament heads the English department. With a long record of graduate study, executive and professional work behind him, he conduits three-fourths of the college com- mittees and semester courses as well. He is assisted by Paul S Havens, Waldo H. Dunn, and Miss Ruth George. Working in close coordination with the English department, I-I. B. Alexander heads the philosophy department. I-l. P 9 I
