Book Review: The Dean's Bible

West Lafayette Public Library

Purdue currently has a “Dean of Students,” as many colleges do. But in the early part of the 20th Century, it had a “Dean of Women” – a position held, in succession, by several women who shaped both the job and the way female students were seen at the school.

That position is the subject of Angie Klink’s book “The Dean’s Bible,” which itself is the subject of this week’s book review by West Lafayette Public Library Director Nick Schenkel.

Nick Schenkel, retired Director of the West Lafayette Public Library, is a long time WBAA contributor who reviews books from all walks of literature.
