PRESIDENT Emeritus of Indiana University, William Lowe Bryan, still devotes his time and energy toward building a greater University. Freed from administrative incumbrances when he relinquished his position as head of the University in iy37, Dr. Bryan is enjoying the opportunity to devote himself to his writings. This year the Yale University Press published his volume entitled Wars of Families oj Minds, containing his Powell Foundation philosophy lectures in 1939. Psychologist, philosopher, scholar — Dr. Bryan provides an inspiration to greater intellectual achievement and to higher ideals. Much in de- mand as a speak • at campus functions, he has the enviable ability ' put the substance of power- ful thoughts into a J urll-chosen words. 22

THROUGH the years, Indiana University has flourished because of the efforts and work of such officials as Ward G. Biddle. For eighteen years Mr. Biddle has rendered faithful and un- tiring service to the University. First as Manager of the Indiana University Bookstore then as Director of the Indiana Memo- rial Union, and now as Comptroller of the Univer- sity and as the Secretary of the Board of Trustees, Mr. Biddle has contributed a great deal to the progress and well-being of Indiana University. He has promoted its extensive construction program, and on March 23, his fiftieth birthday, he wit- nessed in the dedication of the Hall of Music Au- ditorium the fulfillment of one of his great dreams. 23
