PRESIDENT EMERITUS WILLIAM LOWE BRYAN 4 William Lowe Bryan. — To know, even just to have talked with the man now bearing the title of President Emeritus of Indiana University is a challenge: — a challenge to strive for the best in life. Dr. Bryan has projected the strength of his character to all with whom he has had contact. As the administration ' s highest executive for thirty-five years, he exemplified vitally the inspiring ideals which he strove to instill in others. His philosophy has been ever liberal, with an alert eye to the future and a devoted hand to the present. As President Emeritus he continues to maintain the intellectual integrity for which he has been so deeply admired. He is enjoying at last an opportunity long wished for — the opportunity to write, unhindered by administrative exactions. Here is a MAN — a man who has lived one of the fullest of hves and who has a reassuring confidence in a fuller life ahead. 23

PRESIDENT HERMAN B WELtS Come in any Tuesday afternoon and talk things over. This invitation, ad- dressed to his student body, may be said to be typical of the administration of Herman B Wells. Lively, friendly, interested in his students as people rather than as speci- mens in an erratic experiment. President Wells is moving toward his goal of making Indiana an ever-greater university. He has roamed the country seeking scholars of the first rank who will bring new minds, new ideas to his campus. Second only to his efforts to strengthen his faculty have been his efforts to improve the physical equipment of the University: new build- ings, new laboratories, new books for the library — these too are needs which President Wells is seeking to fill. Under his guidance, stimulated by his abundant energy, and enriched by his bi ' eadth of mind, Indiana University looks to the future with ever-increasing surety. Students, alumni, and friends of the University follow President Herman B Wells, confident that he will lead them to a great and useful career. 22
