Vice-Presidents Harvey H. Davis Bland L. Stradley Vice-President Harvey H. Davis has made rapid advancement since he came to the Ohio State University in 1928 as a faculty member, and is maintaining his brilliant record. Starting with the rank of assistant professor in the School of Administration, Dr. Davis was made asso- ciate professor in 1933, full professor in 1935, in 1937 chairman of the depart- ment of Education, and in 1942 vice- president of the University. As well as having served in World War I, Dr. Davis has been efficient in his University career and a prominent figure in community activities through World War II. Preparing and giving speeches, meet- ing and talking to young people seem to occupy a large portion of Vice-Presi- dent Bland L. Stradley ' s time. He spends his small amount of leisure hours tend- ing his farm and livestock or with his special friends, the Boy Scouts of cen- tral Ohio. Dr. Stradley seems especially inter- ested in young people, in talking and working with them, which is one reason he enjoyed the position as Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences. He has been a great helper in his role as a vice-president of the Ohio State University.
