3n ii mnrmm Hal 3. Nolan ia92 - 1940 liriSE in every circumstance, honest in every fiber, with • • reverential fear of Cod in his heart but fearing no man on earth — there was a priceless man, Val Nolan. With these words President Emeritus William Lowe Bryan paid tribute to the United States District Attorney who had been a member of the University Board of Trustees since 1935. As District Attorney, as a Trustee of the University, and as a loyal alumnus, Val Nolan fulfilled his obligations in the best manner he knew. Inspired by the vision of a Greater Indiana University, he has played an important role in the development of the University. 20

IIERIHil» B WELLS IN the few short years of his administration, Herman B Wells has injected all the youth and vitality which he personifies into Indiana University. He has scoured the country to bring to the faculty men of eminence in their fields, and, at the same time, never ceased in his promotion of all phases of the University. No distant leader set apart from the students, President Wells truly has his finger on the pulse of Indiana University, recognizing its needs and endeavor- ing to fulfill them. He keeps in close contact with students by means of Tues- day afternoon open houses when students are free to come to his office and talk over matters of mutual interest. Leaving the field of banking, after having become a recognized authority, he returned to the campus to become Dean of the School of Business, of which he was a graduate. Upon the retirement of Dr. Bryan as President of the Uni- versity in 1937, Herman B Wells was named acting President and on Decem- ber 1, 1938, was inaugurated as President of the University.
