The President If one were to look about for a personal symbol of The American University, none would serve better than the University ' s President Hurst R. Anderson. With his jaunty walk and the attitude of a man who knows where he is going and how he intends to get there, President Anderson typifies what has happened to AU during the years in which he has served at its helm. In spite of a full calendar and a day which not onlv entails University obligations but civic, national and international obligations as well, President Anderson remains essentially a man who is interested in the students. Always willing to take time out of a busy schedule to advise on such problems as yearbook layout, on tap for the annual Christmas banquet, sitting at the plavs or the basketball games. President Anderson lends his personal support to the many phases of campus activity. Often at his side and acting in his stead when duties call him away from being present at various functions is his charming wife. Mrs. Anderson lends her personal warmth to many student functions, the faculty-student teas, the various open houses and any other occasion which may arise. This year for the first time, the Andersons will be watching the graduation of the first class at American University that they have known since the class first arrived on campus to go through freshman orientation week. The class can take great pride in the Andersons for what they have done for The American Universitv. It is to be hoped that the Andersons will take a great pride and share the fond memories with the Class of ' 56 over a happy four years together, four years in which enormous growth has taken place but through which the personal interest of the small college has never been neglected by our President.
