L 1 1 1 PRESIDENT IOHN C. BAKER... The fourteenth president of Ohio University, Dr. John C. Baker, took office in February ,1945, succeeding Dr. Walter S. Gamertsfelder, who had filled the ex- ecutive position during the trying year of 1944. With 20 years at Harvard Business School behind him, Dr. Baker was well- fitted to assume the leadership of Ohio University. A happy combination of a hard head and a warm heart, he quickly made friends of the student body as well as his faculty co-workers. Several receptions, teas, and dinner parties in Dr. Baker ' s honor were held by various campus organizations throughout the beginning of the second semester, and on March 8, 1945, the new president spoke at his first Ohio University convocation. Before assuming the Ohio University presidency, Dr. Baker ' s activities spread over many fields. Research, writing, a trusteeship at Junior College, which conferred on him an L. L. D. in 1943, and at the Boston School of Occupational Therapy, a directorship of the National Blank Book Company, and the presi- dency of the Avon Home of Caimbridge all showed the rare administrative abil- ity of OU ' s new president. The entire campus extends its heartiest congratulations to President John C. Baker, promising him all the cooperation and assistance worthy of a fine leader and a good friend. 11
