"ANSTED LEAVES FOR CHAPLAINCY
"It has come with a sudden shock to many to lear that Dr. Harry B. Ansted has accepted appointment as Chaplain in the United States Army. Although it was know to a few that he was being considered for appointment, it was entirely unknown to most of his friends and students.
"The announcement came with mingled feelings to the school administration. Professor Ansted is to be congratulated for his splendid dedication to the country and to our men in service and his achievement in receiving appointment. On the other hand, his going leaves a very definite gap in the administration personnel of the College and the teaching staff. he has made an enviable record for himself in getting prominent individuals in Seattle and elsewhere to become interested in the school. As Bursar, having to do with student work arrangements, student accounts, collections, etc., he has been most gracious and has been able to carry on a very diffucult task with a minimum of misunderstanding and complaint. As a teacher in his chosen field of Commerce and Economics he has seen a constant growth in interest and following.
"By action of the Board of Trustees he was granted a leave of absence. His many friends join the faculty and students in wishing Chaplain Ansted success in his new field. They look forward to his early return to the campus for the continuance of his work here.
"Professor Ansted leaves about the middle of July for a short period of specialized training at HArvard University. He will then be assigned to a regular post."
