EDUCATOR, GENTLE- MAN, SCHOLAR, LEADER . . . (Photo by Behyn . . .we dedicate the 1944 McKENDREAN. During his eight years as president of McKendree College, Dr. Clark R. Yost has given his all in the interest of the school. Especially since Pearl Harbor our president has literally poured out his spiritual, mental, and physical energies in steady streams so that the program at McKendree might continue to be the best to be found among schools of its standing. His contribution to McKendree cannot be expressed in words. Theodore Roosevelt gave McKendree the title, The best in the Middle West. We who have known Dr. Yost during the last few years, as he has led McKendree and as he has constantly championed the cause of Christian education, are ready to give him the title, The best leader of ' The best in the Middle West ' .
