dean carl w. holl During the fall term this year, Dr. Holl was only on the campus Saturday afternoons. Ball State was his headquar- ters, for he was borrowed by them to teach a semester of chemistry to soldiers stationed there. From this experience. Dean Holl brought back new ideas and suggestions for Man- chester. By actually being a part of Ball State ' s school sys- tem, he learned their practices, and so was able to analyze in what way M. C. has superior methods and also where im- provement could be made. His close contact with the service men gave him a keener insight into their problems. No mat- ter if you have problems concerning your course of study, the draft, some social function, or are faced with any of the mul- titudinous questions of college students, or if you just want to have a good chat, the Dean welcomes you with that genial smile backed by sound and scientific advice. He keeps aware of student problems, needs, and viewpoints. He is a good stabilizer during these days of uneasiness. 19

On November 8, 1941, the students and friends of Man- chester witnessed the inauguration of Dr. Vernon Frankhn Schwalm as president of Manchester College. Dr. Schwalm accepted the honor with this response: Keenly aware of the heavy responsibility it involves, and deeply appreciative of the high privilege it affords, I accept the Presidency of Manchester College, and pledge you my every effort, as God gives me grace, to uphold its best ideals and traditions, and to promote its growth and usefulness. A Manchester prod- uct, Dr. Schwalm graduated from Manchester in 1913. After taking his master ' s degree at the University of Chicago, he returned to Manchester to become head of the history de- partment. Two years later he became dean of the college in which capacity he continued until called to McPherson College in 1927. Dr. Schwalm has fulfilled his pledge to promote the growth and usefulness of Manchester College. His prophetic instinct and his determination to keep Manchester strong make him a truly great leader. president vernon f. schwal
