Miss Ethel Sawyer to Head Browsing Room Appointment of Miss Ethel E. Sawyer of Portland, to be special librarian in charge of the “browsing" room in the library was an nounced yesterday by M. H. Douglass, head librarian. Furnishing of the room will be completed soon, he said. The browsing room will be used for recreational reading by the students, and will provide facilities for unrequired, independent read ing for pleasure. It has a conspicuous location on the main floor be tween tne two main entrances ana opposite the circulation desk. The room is 90 by 24 feet, and is to be beautifully and comfortably fur nished. ‘‘The room will be furnished with furniture that has a slight mascu line taste,” said Mr. Douglass. "The upholstery will probably be leath er. And the walls will remain un painted, as at present. This is a special effect, known as bleached wood. The white appearance of the bleached walls is especially con ducive to good reading conditions with the indirect lighting system." Miss Sawyer, who is to direct and promote the activities of the room, is an experienced teacher and librarian, said Mr. Douglass. She is a graduate of Wesleyan uni versity of Middletown, Conn., and of the Pratt Institute school of li brary science, Brooklyn, N. Y. After completing her library course, she served for two years as librarian of the normal school at Stevens Point, Wisconsin. She then went to the Seattle public library where for three years she was first assistant in the cir culation department, and for two years superintendent of circula tion. From Seattle she went to Portland to become director of the ibrary training class in which posi tion she remained from 1914 to 1926. Since 1926 Miss Sawyer has been with the Hillside - Catlin school, Portland, in a progressive education experiment. During the years she has been in Oregon, Miss Sawyer has served as instructor and lecturer on li brary and book subjects at the fol lowing universities, generally dur ing summer sessions: Minnesota, Oregon, Johns Hopkins, Michigan, and Washington. Miss Sawyer has been much in demand as a speaker, writer, and lecturer on book topics and has been a frequent contributor to library periodicals. She will take up her new duties with the open ing of the fall term. The Alpha Phis will celebrate their 65th anniversary with a foun ders’ day banquet this coming Sun day.
