Mr. Jensen has worked faithfully to carry out the numerous responsibilities of his position since he has been on this campus. • Erwin B. Lemon is another well-known figure to Oregon State students. In 1911 he graduated here in the school of commerce and then held a position as instructor until he was appointed registrar in 1921. • Dr. Clair V.

Frtds.i «ig. ProkkM Student Body • The year 1933-34 has been one of accomplishment and progress for Oreson State. The success of our basketball and football teams has blazed the name of Oregon State into national prominence and and the grand spirit of those teams and their coaches has become imbued in the student body as never before. Similarly our activities in the fields of music, forensics, journalism and scholarship have equalled or eclipsed their former standings. • The year has apparently witnessed the end of the turmoil in higher education—the end of a chaotic period during which the students and faculty of this institution conducted themselves most commendably and for which they are being congratulated by the people of the State. Perhaps the upward swing of enrollment may be interpreted as a manifestation by the citizenry, of increasing confidence in the seriousness and fair-mindedness of Oregon State as an institution. • I am grateful for having had the privilege of guiding the student body as its president.
