MENDENHALL LIBR RY It's often surprising what you find in the stacks, ESSENTIAL TO THE STUDENTS at Whittier College is our library. Many students Hnd help daily from Dr. Whitten, our librarian. Dr. Whitten is responsible for the main purchasing and cataloging of books. Approximately 40,000 volumes, including bound periodicals, are available to the students for reference and loan. Our books are bought on the recommendation of each and every department, each department having a speciied amount of money allotted to it for this purpose. We are fortunate in having many foreign books and magazines in our library. Through a New York dealer, books which are not available in the United States, are obtained. Dr. Whitten is fortunate in having very capable assistants to help in keeping the library a smoothly running operation. Mrs. Tan, assistant librarian, sees that the books and periodicals are properly bound. Mrs. Powers is responsible for the reserve room. A new library building is now being planned in order that Whittier will be able to con- tinue to meet the increasing needs and demands of our education in which the library plays such an essential role. The inside of the library is a familiar sight for all students.

It is people like Miss Malone that enable the oflices to keep functioning in a normal manner. Almost all of the students have met various parts of the secretarial staff that aids the college. When aid is needed, the students are sure to get help from the secretaries. By making appointments, typing letters, answering phones, and other clerical activities the secretaries make them- selves useful. The secretaries, however, go much beyond the clerical activities by aiding the students in finding valuable information concerning their stay here at the school. Any one of the secretaries will take time out to talk to the student even though she may be thoroughly busy with her 'clerical activities. Again extending them- selves, the secretaries help the student body leaders by typing letters and helping them to Hnd the essential information that is involved in student life.
