Secretary to Retire After 39 Year Stay

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

In 1915, a young lady joined the freshman dean's office as secretary to Henry A. Yeomans '00. One year later, when Yeomans was promoted to the position of Dean of Students, they both moved downstairs to 4 University Hall. Now, 39 years later, Miss Eva F. Weeks is retiring.

In succession, she was secretary to five Deans of Students: Yeomans, Chester N. Greenough, A. Chester Hanford, Wilbur J. Bender '27, and Delmar Leighton '23.
