affiliated schools. The success of this department has been attained through the expert leadership of R. V. Powell during his fifteen years as head of that department. Gail F. Powell, besides conducting classes in the Rural Education Department, is actively associated with the Nebraska Congress of Parents and Teachers, of which she is the State Executive Secretary. Mrs. Powell has been in her present position for fourteen years. No subjects in the academic world have been so frequently put to first-handed use dur- ing the last three years as chose taught in the Social Science departments of our colleges. No department in Kearney College has been more professionally conducted, more pro- gressively administered than that headed by Lyle E. Mantor. At present Mir. Mantor is on leave of absence to finish his doctorate at the University of Iowa. Mr. Mantor has been at the head of the Social Science Department for the last seven years. He is a member of the American Historical Association, Nebraska State Historical Society, and of Delta Sigma Rho. For an even dozen years Jennie M. Conrad has been teaching Social Science for her main professional activity, and pulling weeds in her back yard for a pastime. Miss Conrad has her A. M. degree from Columbia University. Miss Conrad has earned from the stu- dents the justifiable label of being Kearney Collegers most enthusiastic teacher. President Martin once said something to the effect that we were coming more and more to see that the center of any college is the library. Students can not long remain on the cam- pus without coming into conflict, pleasantly or otherwise, with the dean of Nebraska College Librarians, Anna V. Jennings. A Kearney graduate was heard to say, We not only have the best library of any college in the state, but we also have the best librarian.” Doubtless this student meant a woman trained to run a library efficiently, effectively, and meritoriously. But Miss Jennings, with all her ability, could not have the success she has were it not for the efficient co-workers she has chosen. Hazel Rea, an A. M. from the University of Illinois, has been library cataloguei for four years. Floy C. Carroll, an A. M. from the LIniversity of Illinois, has been supervisor of the laboratory school libraries for five years. No college is stronger or more efficient than its administrative officers. Bessie S. Black, bursar; Edith M. Smithey, registrar; Dorothy C. Williams, secretary to the president; Elsie Leake, secretary of extension. Efficient, kind, helpful, these officers of the Interior” are also the officers who see that the machinery of the college keeps moving, that the instructors keep earing as well as working, and that the students are officially enrolled, and eventually officially graduated. Ruth E. Elliott has been dean of women for twelve years. Her hobbies are flowers and —girls. J. T. Anderson, Ph. D., has been associated with the college for seven years, the last three of which he has been dean of men and Professor of Education. Two early acquaintances of George E. Martin were one time discussing him, when one said to the other, Martin has grown belligerent of late years,” Whereupon the other replied, No, he hasn’t. I doubt that he weighs more than he did ten years ago.” Truth or fiction, no man could relish the attenuated pun more than President Martin. Being either Per- sonal” or even Otherwise” about such an educator, administrator, and friend of youth as George E. Martin might call forth belligerent remarks from students and faculty. The Edi- tors of Harper’s and The Atlantic Monthly, to whom I am indebted for the style of this feature, would doubtless say, For further information, consult Who’s Who,” —CALVIN T. RYAN.
