Ever since Sim- mons' first year-1902-the School of Library Science has been active in pre- paring girls for every type of work in our rapidly progressing world. Yes, every type-for library vvork embraces nearly every field of endeavor. The scientifically minded girl may compile bibliographies in an industrial laboratory, or have charge of the library in a technical university, while another may bring health and happiness to the physically or mentally ill as a form of therapy in hospital, psychia- tric, or social service libraries. For that different job, there is the bookmobile which travels through rural areas, carrying its equip- ment on its back as it vvere, bringing knowledge, pleasure, and contact with the outside world to isolated communities, and then there is the library in a military camp which serves the recreational as Well as the intel- lectual needs of service men. The program in the Library School is a bit unusual. Formerly, the technical subjects such as classification and reference work were spread throughout the four-year course, but nearly tvventy years ago the present system was adopted. Now the students study academic subjects during their first three years, thus gaining a broad back- ground in languages, science, social sciences and litera- Ballling with books in 318 22

The Busi- ness School is the largest in the college, and the well- dressed, business-like Seniors in the School of Business are the envy of their less efhcient-looking sisters in other schools. Scribunal was founded in 1925 to promote fun and fellowship between students in the School of Business and the faculty Of the school. Meetings are held Once a month in the Lounge with refreshments and entertain- ment. This year's meetings featured a humorous skit called Trying Them Out performed by members Of the three upper classes for the benefit of the Freshmen in October, a WAVE and a WAC speaking on what the business girl can do in the auxiliary services a month later, a prize Of war stamps for the winner Of a quiz program for which Dr. Rankin acted as Master of Ceremonies, and a Valen- tine Party open to the Freshmen at which songs were sung to an accordion accompaniment. Mr. Lukens spoke on The Woman Worker in lndustry. Responsible for this galaxy of fine meetings were Grace D'ArrigO, president, Phyllis Bernau, vice-president, Harriet Leighton, secretary, Marilyn Meserve and Joan Melber, treasurers Cin different semestersD, Kathaleen Kiessling, chairman Of social activities, and Joan Keat- ing, publicity chairman. hlrs.

books for bread and butter ture-for a librarian is expected to know a little bit about nearly everything. But since it is impossible for her to know everything, she at least must know where and how to find information on any subject. It is in the fourth year that a future librarian receives her technical and practical training and becomes a mem- ber of the A.L.A. CAmerican Library Associationj She learns to classify books under the Dewey decimal system of classification, becomes adept at compiling bibliogra- phies and using many types of reference books. In courses on book selection she learns to choose suitable books for people with varied interests. If she is interested in chil- dren she learns to tell fairy tales and adventure stories. o2o CZero rwentyb was founded about ten years ago to further social and professional relationships among graduates, undergraduates, and instructors in the school. This year's oflicers are Dorothea Ghmart, president5 Helen Charles, vice-president, Eleanor Ames, secfCI21fY9 Jacqueline Zeldin, treasurer, and Betty Lou johI1SOH, program chairman.
