Now near the completion of its second year Walwood Hall has become the scene of many pleasant events enjoyed by both its residents and guests. Its two sound-proof recrea- tion rooms are available for study or recreation. A fine laundry makes blue Monday a pleasure, and its beautiful lounge and lobby are the pride of the students who live there. Cheery and well- equipped rooms have made it the object of much praise. The Hall is in charge of Mrs. Hansen, assistant Dean of Women, and Mrs. Tyler, whose constant care and supervision keep it clean, neat, and homey. A nurse is in residence at all times to administer whatever medical care is needed. On each floor is a sun room and a kitchen in which occasional food preparation is allowed, but the residents have their own dining room which is supplied from the college cafeteria in the adja- cent Union Building. So attractive is this dormi- tory that since its opening it has had a large waiting list.

The most frequented spot on the campus is Western's impressive Library Building. The present edifice is so constructed that when the need arises more space may be utilized as reading rooms and book stacks. This space now houses the entire mathematics and commerce departments along with classes in literature, languages, history, and political science. In 1938 the library was the recipient of a 36,000 gift from the Carnegie Foundation, the amount toqbe distributed over three years. ln addition there are also the Collegiate Alumni Income and the Burnham Rural Library Fund. The latest innovations are the new lighting sys- tem in the reading room and the modern meth- od of checking out books by means of an electric card-stamping machine. This efficient library is supervised by Miss French who is aided by the assistant librarians and student helpers. i mry Hazel Cleveland, Edith Clark, Mary Harvey, Paul Randall, Vera Graham, Anna French, Clara Sterling, Phoebe Lumaree ffiw Courteous, friendly, and helpful, the staff of secretaries in the various offices are ever ready to serve the students.
