W. N. Northcott may not be so familiar to the aver- age student of Austin Col- lege, since his job as vice- president in charge of public relations keeps him away from the campus much of the time. The promotion of the college expansion- pro- gram and plans for the Cen- tennial, however, will all be tangible proofs of his pre- sence and planning. Hoosier- born Mr. Northcott has proved that one does not have to be a Southerner to be gracious and friendly. William Barnett Guerrant, D. D. President Dr. Guerrant does not conform to the popular concep- tion of a college president: a man of great dignity with a string of impressive degrees after his name, sitting be- hind closed doors at a forbidding-looking desk. Though Dr. Guerrant has both degrees and dignity, his door is al- ways open to everybody who needs his help and sympa- thetic understanding. He is truly every student's friend. Since 1943, when Dr. Guerrant's title was changed from Professor of Bible to President, he had led Austin Col- lege in a program of expanison. Under his leadership the enrollment has increased, new buildings have been erect- ed, and the curriculum has been enlarged. W. N. Northcott Vice-President

TRATION

Mr. John R. Clarke may one day be caricatur- ed as a pair of busy legs emerging from a cigar- created smoke screen, and how right the artist would be! Because his hundred-and-one-odd duties have been telescoped into the one title of business manager, it might give the impression that he has a soft job, but Mr. Clarke is capable of doing and indeed has done everything from explaining to a professor how a radiator works to letting con- tracts for new buildings. He is never to busy to say “Hi”, and there is that feeling of friendly con- cern about each student's well-being that endears him to everyone, even while he is explaining why tuition is higher again this year. Maybe to some people, it is James B. Moor- man, A. B., M. A., Litt. D., but to every Austin College student, he is “Dean”. In fact, sometimes it is difficut to decide whether the title describes him, or he describes the title. It is “Dean” who directs the student’s course through school and does much to help him to en- joy it. When a student is in trouble, he tells him what to do about it. “Dean” is the students’ guide to success in his college life. JOHN R. CLARKE, B. D. Business Manager JAMES BOLLING MOORMAN, M. A. Dean
