HOWARD S. McDonald — During his four years at the University, Presi- dent McDonald contributed much to its development. Besides a wide back- ground of experience in school admin- istration, President McDonald brought with him an enviable record in church activities and a strong religious con- viction. A believer in the integration of religious and academic learning, Presi- dent McDonald during his career at Brigham Young University was a dy- namic leader — firm in his responsibilities, sincere and kind in his associations with people, active in his promotion of a building program, and eager in his de- sire to promote friendship between faculty and students. His was an in- fluence that strengthened the purposes and furthered the goals of the Univer- sity.
