"For the quiet, efficient air of our library, we are grateful to Miss Allin. She has been at Millikin since the beginning and is responsible for the large, well equipped reference library which we have. Her witty remarks and keen sense of humor have been a surprise to many under-classmen who did not really know her." Miss Allin was one of four faculty similarly singled out for lauding in the 1944 Millidek.
