LEE th e M a n o o o UMPHREY LEE, first presi- dent of the Students' Association, has made himself first in the thoughts of S. M. U. students as President of the University. He has a unique quality, one rare even among college presidents, of being able to see and to understand both sides of any question, and to understand them so Well that his eventual decision is not only understood but approved by both fac- tions in the argument. ln the semester before the inauguration of Dr. Lee as our president, the campus buzzed with speculation as to his policies. Campus radicals who never combed their hair cried, Wait 'til Lee gets here! Then you'll see things hum. Carn- pus reactionaries who had no hair to comb shrieked, Wait 'til Lee gets here! Then this folderol will quiet doWn. . . . It is a measure of the greatness of the man that both groups are still proudly saying, Yes, Umphrey Lee is President of S. M. U. We're quite pleased With his Work. S. M. U. has never enjoyed so wide a reputation, nor so glowing a one, as it has attained under the leadership of Dr. Lee. He knows the names of student body members as Well as if he were running for President of the student body still: but he realizes the importance of the friendships which S. M. U. has downtowng and many a prominent citizen in Dallas is proud to call Lee his friend. So are We ally and as the legion of his friends increases with each passing year, so rise the fame and fortune of the University.
