through out the bethlehem area by the bureau to 1,415 in a period of less than two years the bureau was organized in january 1946 through the com bined efforts of several university officials among whom were john i kilpatrick treasurer paul j frantz assistant director of ad missions wray h congdon dean of undergraduates and andrew w litzenberger superintendent of buildings and grounds these men realized that the university's housing facilities would be unable to handle the increased number of enrollments following the war and initiated measures to meet the sit uation the result of their con ferences was the establishment of the housing bureau whose pri mary function would be the pro curment of homes and rooms for students who could not be ac commodated in the dormitories lo cated on the campus miss beaver in charge during the first months of its operation the bureau's services were limited to the housing prob lems of married students only now however the privileges have been extended
