Serving the college . . . Dr. Ernest A. Johnson, who served elected president of the college since 1943, led the administration in its drive to increase the stature of Lake Forest College as an outstand- ing liberal arts school. President Johnson's background prepared him well for this position. In addition to achieving doctorate degrees in the fields of philosophy, laws, commercial science and civil law, Dr. Johnson had exten- sive experience as a professor in the areas of economics and business administration. His many activities included membership in com- mittees of the Associated Colleges of Illinois, Inc., and Director of the Mc-Cormick Theo- logical Seminary. Being the author ot a series of articles on banking and economic theory was another of Dr. Johnson's contributions to the field of economics. . Since 192-I, when he began his career on Lake Forest. College's campus, Forester indeed came to know President Ernest Johnson as A singular, inspired Christian gentleman who has given a lifetime to the institution. Seated at a desk just outside the President's private office Mrs. Eve Cavagna, who has the mammoth task of Secretary to the Presi- dent.

How infinite in faculty! In form and moving how express and admirable! In action how like an angel! In apprehension how like a god! The beauty of the world! This was a man! Dr. Ernest A. Johnson f- President i Mrs. Eve Cavagna Secretary to the President
