...information office will increase its value and efficiency in proportion to the number of students who use it", said Mr. Seymour in commenting on the reorganized department. "In other words if there are a number of requests for a certain type of information, it will be supplied regularly. This office which may be reached by phone, will be primarily for the service of the undergraduate in answering such questions, as where student functions are to take place, the times of athletic contests and where tickets may be purchased, and the addresses of students in the University...
