c Eleanor E. Starkey Assistant Dean of Women Mr. Killinger ' s greatest forte lies in his sincerity and in his wilhngness to place himself as one of the men. By his innate understanding of their problems, coupled with his straight- forward manner of attack of those problems, he has made himself a force for good, affecting not only the dormitory men but the entire group of men students. Through iier helpful associations with the women Miss Starkey, work- ing with Mrs. King, has done much to foster the finest type of social life on our campus. Not the least of Miss Starkey ' s activities is the lending of her musical talents to various func- tions of our school. Glenn Killinger Dean of Men Twenty-four

PERSONNEL DEPARTMENT The personnel Department, although of rather recent origin, has accomphshed much. More and more, as the months roll into years, it is proving its ability and worth in coping with the problems apportioned to it. Its success in great part, must be attributed to its very capable director. Air. Clarence L. AlcKelvie. The purpose of the department is to centralize the various matters relating to better understanding between the faculty and the student body. The department is in charge of all matters of student help jobs on the campus, student employment on and off campus, and N.Y.A. work. It administers the Student Loan Fund, and in general is in charge of student aid and employment. The department appoints advisers to all entering students and special groups, and sets up and administers the college testing program for all entering students. CL.ARENCIi L. McKeLVIE Personnel Director c In its relatively short life the Department of Personnel has achieved much, and, it has even greater hopes for the future. This very important branch of college administration has proved its worth in helping to solve problems of utmost importance to the students. By her friendly and aft ' able manner, her ability to put herself in the position of the girls of the dormitory, and by her willingness to share her time, our new Dean of Women has made the best of a rather difficult ofTice. It is significant that the appre- ciation of Mrs. King ' s work is not limited to the women of the College. Mrs. Clyde King Dean of Women Twentv-three

HEALTH SERVICE The show must go on! Illness on the part of the cast is a calamity which must not occur. To safeguard the health of one thousand three hundred twenty people is an impor- tant as well as a difficult assignment to fulfill, but our Health Service Department has proved itself adequate to meet the demand. Daily, Dr. Scattergood, with the expert assistance of Miss Glance and Miss Dreis, ministers to the sick and wounded in the well-equipped infirmary on Rosedale Avenue. They offer preventive as well as curative measures in an effort to keep their charges In a state of physical fitness. A campaign against syphilis, the administration to seniors and freshmen of the Mantoux test for tuberculosis, and a physical examination of all students are projects which have been executed by this department. Afraid of a doctor? Or nurse? They are our friends and are vitally interested in our well-being. They are the unsung heroes who help make it possible for the show to go on. Dr. Scattergood C Mr. Chambers MAINTENANCE The Maintenance Department is one of those behind- the-scenes departments. It is little heard of, and yet it is one of the most important departments on campus. Included under the jurisdiction of this department is the supervision of the physical facilities of our campus and of the interior of our buildings. Because of the untiring efforts of Mr. Herbert Chambers, our stage and stage settings are always repaired, clean, and ready for use. Miss Rebecca Dissinger is the authority that keeps the Main Dormitory in good working order. To this efficient department we owe a debt of gratitude tor the wholesome atmosphere in which we live. Without a doubt, the greatest influence on our lives during our four years in college is not so much our courses, our faculty ' , or our athletics, but our reaction to life as it is on the campus. This department, with its efficient and capable staff, provides the proper atmosphere in which to live and grow toward better personalities. Twenty-five
