Kent ' s Nerve Centers The deans sit in their offices through days of lengthy consultation. When the word comes down, they apply the rules, meet the people and set the hours. They are a university ' s nerve cen- ters. Without them a university has no pulse. A Great Achievement Coming here in 1944 to assume the duties as president of Kent State, Dr. George A. Bowman was confronted almost at once with the huge task of setting the university back on its feet after World War II. The president, who never wants to see our mature young lady completely grow up, started immedi- ately to rebuild and reorganize Kent. Since he has been here. Dr. Bowmen has seen 7,000 stu- dents go out in all fields of study, in addition to keeping a constant expansion program in op- eration. A great achievement has been accom- plished here by a truly great man. 16
