Announcements

ill has appearedon the Inside front cover and those who have contributed generously to the annual Bibliography, News and Notes section. Many of my colleagues at N. I. U. and others from my-years at Purdue University have quietly and without fanfare given of their time and energies and expertise. They know how deeply appreciative I am for their help. Above all, I must single out for special mention a number of graduate assistants who have during the last two or three years given far more of their time and energy than was required of them: Kristine Valaitis, who will happily join the A.S.U. faculty as assistant professor In September; Dona Ruby, who wasalways there and who continues toward her doctorate at N.I.U.; Judith Risily, who has been very helpful this past Spring In preventing our falling further behind than we have; and Charles O'Malley, who has always willingly taken on any task with good cheer. Jeanine (Mrs. Stephen) Erundage has for two years been typist, proofreader, addressograph operator, invoicer, file clerk - and always with uifaillng good cheer. Above all, she has been one of perhaps three persons sufficiently talented In calligraphy to decipher my worst of all possible penmanships. Her only fault has been that she refuses to be converted from history major to English major. 5. Conrad In the A. S-. B.
