The Simmons School of Library Science trains its students Call ofthem enrolled as members in the A.L.A.j lor work in libraries big and little, general and special- ized. Miss Nina C. Brotherton is acting as Director of the School. Libe students go through three years of stiff academic work, during which they elect as many courses as they can in their pet subjects, tor in their Senior year, when prolessional training really begins, they don't have a Cll?tl1CC lor anything but technical courses. They prepare tor jobs as public librarians in regional or small town libes, as children's librarians Cthere's a big field thereg it seems there are always children aroundj, as librarians specializing in book selection, cataloguing, etc., or as special librarians in any field from banking and tech- nology to music and art. Senior year is one of the hardest in any school, with classes almost every hour, and with a huge amount ot' outside work. Upperclass students spend most of their tree time in Room 318, where there is a special library tor their own use, and where they each have a desk.

Miss VVood is the nurse-executive ,bar excellence. Students remember her kindness in conferences, her active personal interest in each girl, which, as some know, extends to the babies ol' graduates. Another link between hospital student nurses and those still in college is Anne Strong Club. Named lor the first director of the Nursing School, Anne Strong meets monthly in Evans, welcomes Freshmen as well as members ofthe school. Lecturers on physiotherapy, Army, psychopathic, and obstetrical nursing were on this year's calendar. On May 12AHospital Day- eAnne Strong toured Boston hospitals en masse. Their Christmas party benefited the Cood Samaritan Hospital lor rheumatic children. Most heroic feat was that Ol' the members who volunteered for lour hours of labor at various hospitals every Saturday. Commuters like Barbara Akers, Presi- dent, got up at Six o'clock on dark December mornings for this. Nurses' training iSn't all drudgery. There are fascinating ses- sions in lab , operating-room scenes that are as exciting as the movies say, and there is the greatest pleasure ol' allvthe visible satisfaction of the persons they serve. Helpful and cheertul pa- tients are the greatest boon to probationers. W'hen the head nurse coolly surveys every move ofthe nervous probie as she makes a bed or gives a bath, it is wonderfully reassuring to be told by the victim of this practical training: That's all right, girlie. just let me know when you want me to turn over and donlt worry about that supervisor. lim all with you.

Their leet get tired, but they like the glimpse they get of what goes on behind the scenes, and the chance they have of ap- plying class theories to what they see. Favorite trip this year was one through the Yenching Institute lChinese- Japanesel with Dr. Chu as guide, during which they saw manuscripts two thousand years old. Cirls in Libe get a chance to put theories into practice, also, during summer vacations, when many of them assist in, or even take charge ol, libraries in their home towns. Their practice work is brought to a climax in the second semester ofthe last year, when they go to libraries in several states tor two weeks of concentrated experience on actualjobs. 020, the Library School undergraduates' club, emph- asized the war effort this year, starting off with a talk by lNIrs.
