WILLIAM LOWE BRYAN President, Indiana University William Lowe Bryan . . . president since 1902 ... a man of vision . . . well-developed sense of humor , . . a great student of words and their meanings . . . noted and talented speaker. THE PRESIDENT ' S COLUMN The value of Dr. Bryan ' s latest literary contri- bution as a true Insight into his philosophy justifies sacrificing a review of his own personal experiences during the past year. The Pretiidcnt ' s Column, a compilation of his writings for the Indiana Daily Stu- dent during the past eight years, appeared late last fall. The articles which compose the book had ap- peared in The President ' s Column of The Student and each deals with a topic of current interest, phil- osophical comment or discussions of art, religion or science. The warm substantial personality of the author IS felt in every line of the book, which together with the greatness of ideas and precise and skillful use of words, is responsible for the value of the work. The author reveals his deep reliance on both science and art, marvels at material progress and raises it to its rightful place among values. His method is that of philosophy and psychology applied with the simplicity and learning of art rather than with the cumbersome machinery that too often clutters up those vehicles of thought transmission.

ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICIALS I n the eyes of the students perhaps the most outstanding characteristic of the entire staff of University Administrative officials is the congenial and helpful attitude maintained by all of them rather than a severe, extreme- ly business-like manner which, considering the great multitude of tasks they must per- form, might well be expected. From John W Cravens, who is noted for his pleasant kindly mien, down to the least important of University employees, this characteristic is in evidence, combined with a high efficiency required by the many and varied parts of the machinery of a great university.
