HERMAN G. JAMES Diplomat, scholar, gentleman — President Herman G. James. For six years chief execu- tive of Ohio University, he has brought about many changes and improvements to make this institution one of the finest in the state. Dr. .James is as famous off the campus as on, for his great abilities in other fields. He holds the positions of Secretary of the National Association of University Presidents and na- tional president of Pi Sigma Alpha, political science honorary. Recognized authority on Pan American relations, he was granted a leave of absence this year to go to Brazil to promote cultural relations between the United States and that country. He felt, however, that he could be of greater service to his country by remaining to administer his duties in the university. Last summer he combined business with pleasure to visit Guatemala, where he did research work for the State Department. President James believes it is the duty of the university to back the national defense program because patriotic citizens are as im- portant to the nation ' s safety as the Army and Navy. The full realization of the wisdom of his view, is in this time of emergency, penetrating the entire campus. Mienever the president has a few hours relaxation, he can often be found manipulating chessmen or playing a rubber of contract bridge. His avocations include gardening, violin-playing, and writing short stories. Because his interests and abilities are so varied. Dr. James is an extremely busy person, but he is never too busy to exchange friendly greetings with members of the student body or faculty, or to do his best to comply when needed. His greatest aversion is toward the student who does not take advantage of the opportunity provided by the university and the sacrifice of his parents. Board of Trusiees Dr. T. R.

CAMPUS ADMINISTRATORS One Ohio University graduate who made good is Miss Irene Devlin, number-one secretary to the president. Able, super- efficient, she writes innumerable memos, handles Dr. James ' routine business and capably assists in solving problems of fore- most importance to the university. Miss Irene Devlin Don Peden Lamar J. Otis Miss Anne Keating Handling the funds of all student or- ganizations and auditing all ticket sales keeps Lamar J. Otis busy, leaving him little time for his hobbies, tennis and hiking. He came from Arkansas to head the Students ' General Fund Audit system in 1936 when it was inaugurated at the suggestion of the president. Don Peden, head football coach and supervisor of the complete sports program, is not the cheer-leader type. On the contrary, he is soft-spoken, interested primarily in the safety of his players during a game. Never does he alone take credit for a victory. Petite director of Edwin Watts Chubb Library, Miss Anne Keating dislikes pub- licity, claims reading as an avocation rather than a vocation. With the present closed stack system, her main problem is making the library ' s collection of 121,800 volumes accessible to students. Everything that relates between the gown and the town — that ' s my job, says Public Relations Director Brandon T. Grover. Ex. Ohio University football coach who majored in athletics and minored in academic requirements, Mr. Grover took his present position four years ago. Eternal vigilance is the watchword of Clark E. Williams, Alumni Secretary, keep- er of the records of 13,800 alumni. In addition he supervises the publication of the Ohio Alumnus and makes contacts for or- ganizing and supporting local alumni units. Founder ' s Day is also his responsibility. — 24
