President's Council Left to right: William J. Dusel, E. S. Thompson, C. Grant Burton, President John T. Wahlquist, Joe West, Stanley Benz. Not Pictured: Ralph R. Cummings. The President's Council, made up of the President, Vice-President, Executive Dean, Dean of the College, Dean of Students, Dean of Educational Services and Summer Sessions, and the Business Manager, is the chief administrative and policy-making body of the College. The Assistant to the President, Dr. Ralph R. Cummings, serves as Council Secretary. Although the President is responsible for large areas of administration with members of his council, these members direct the operations of their area, receive committee reports from fa- culty and staff, and present problems and recommendations for the consideration of the entire councH. Decisions that result from the deliberations of such group are therefore based on an awareness of all the many facets of the college program. Advisory Board Nine leading citizens of the San Jose State College area have been appointed by the Director of Education and the State Board of Education to consult with the President on broad matters of col- lege poHcy. These citizens comprise the College Advisory Board and serve to bring the ideas and opinions of the community to the President's attention, as well as to interpret the college program to the people of the area. These public-spirited citizens serve in this capacity without financial compensation for terms of four years. Their advice and loyal support have contributed greatly to the steady improvement and development of San Jose State College and to its growing prestige as an institution of higher learning. Left to Right: Joseph R. Garner, Ralph R. Cummings tRecording Secretaryi, L. D. Bohnett tChairmani, John T. Wahlquist, Fred J. Oehler, Floyd Farr, E. B. Scott, George H. Burchill.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE This yearbook presents the drama of the campus for the year, 1957-58. Here are recorded the names and roles of the actors who appeared on the stage of College Life. However, it is not only the number and variety of activities, the number of courses, the grades earned, nor the value received, but also the sincerity of effort and inner attitudes with which the understanding was approached. Only those experiences that have helped us to realize and evaluate our own strengths and our weaknesses will continue to have meaning for us as we have occasion to re- call the events of the year. Many of the events which are recorded are merely the periphery of our real activities. I hope that the deeper and more lasting values within each recorded event will continue to be a source of inspiration to all of us. As the years pass, each one of us will receive increased pleasure from recalling the role he played in the year's school drama. He will also appreciate more fully the wisdom in Alex- ander POpe's classic observation, Honor and shame from no condition rise; Act well your part, there all the honor lies.'l x

Dr. William Dusel was appointed to execute the duties of this office. The whole executive branch of the college was kept especially busy this year with many diversified activities. One of the largest problems with which they were confronted was gaining accredition for the Engineering Department. The revision of the athletic policy was another hot issue.
