In order to do this, mimeographed sheets were distributed to the girls, and from these, important conclusions were formed. Dr. Johnson is very interested in the strengthening of the library. He Wishes to make the library a place Where all students will go for study and for recreational reading. The girls this year have co-operated with Dr. Johnson and the library project very Well, consequently next year will probably bring many new improvements in the library material which will be available to all students. 21 '

Miss Dudley received her Bachelor of Arts degree from Georgetown College, and had the Doctor of Philosophy degree conferred upon her by Bryn Mawr College. During the World War her unusual experiences as a social Worker in French munition camps under the direction of the Young Women's Christian Association gave her a source of many interesting stories. From 1920 until 1929 Miss Dudley served as instructor in English Literature at Stephens. In 1929 she Went to the Junior College at Long Beach, California as exchange professor -of English. Last year was her first year of advising students in selection of their courses and guiding the faculty in its problems. Miss Dudley is a very interesting teacher, and the students do not seem to mind when she gives lesson assignments which sound similar to this: Begin at the beginning, the King said gravely, and go on 'till you come to the end: then stop. 22
