RECEIVES STATE APPROVAL KANSAS State College gains additional national recognition in the field of education each year through the efforts of its youthful and energetic Presi- dent, Milton S. Eisenhower. A graduate of Kansas State, President Eisenhower succeeded F. D. Farrell as President in 1944. Some new innovations adopted at Kansas State since President Eisenhower has been in office include com- prehensive courses in the physical, biological, and social sciences, the humanities, an Institute of Citizenship and the first college UNESCO chapter in the nation. The President helped Kansas State become a leader in the UNESCO field. This year marked the end of President Eisenhower ' s second two-year term as head of the National Commission for UNESCO. Backs S.P.C. Program President Eisenhower is actively interested in student problems. He is a firm believer in student participation in college affairs. He has been a strong supporter of the Student Planning Committee which makes sug- gestions for College improvements. Under the President ' s leadership this year, the Col- lege has received legislative approval for the new field- house, an arts and science class building, an addition to the engineering building, a connecting wing between East and West Waters Halls and several other minor buildings. MILTON S. EISENHOWER is President of Kansas State. He is a nationally-recognized leader in the higher educational field but also has a deep interest in all student-leve l problems in our own school. PROBLEMS OF A COLLEGE PRESIDENT are made much lighter by the efforts of efficient secretaries. Two such secretaries are always on hand in President Eisenhower ' s office. Presidential Secretary Mrs. Grace Lindquist, lejt, probably knows as much about College affairs as do administrative heads. She is capably assisted by Mrs. Eleanor Lundgren, right. Both have helped in supplying data for the yearbook. 23

KSC NEW BUILDING PROGRAM THE destiny of Kansas again will be directed by Governor Frank Carlson for a two year period. Governor Carlson was elected to a second term last Fall by a large majority over his Democratic opponent. One of Kansas State ' s most loyal supporters, the Governor is a K-State graduate. He received a Farmer ' s Short Course certificate from the College in June, 1914. His farm experience on his own farm near Concordia proved valuable when he went into politics. Before stepping into the Governor ' s chair, the Con- cordian served as congressman representing the Sixth Congressional District of Kansas. Regents Set Policy Nine prominent Kansans are included on the State Board of Regents. The Board acts as the highest author- ity for the eight state-supported schools in Kansas. Board members are appointed by the Governor for four-year terms. Executive Secretary is Hubert Brighton. The Regents gave positive, aggressive support to both Kansas State ' s operational budget and to the Campus of Tomorrow building program. They not only approved the financial budget this year but also provided active support to College plans during the legislative session. A new faculty retirement policy also was inaugu- rated this year by the Board. 22
