Stanford University - Quad Yearbook

“DONALD B. TRESIDDER Under the able and sympathetic guidance of President Donald B. Tresidder, Stanford University successfully adjusted itself to the largest enrollment in its history. As the symbol of Administration, President Tres- idder ' s calm manner and droll delivery en- dears him to every one in the Stanford Family. Since he is himself an alumnus of Stanford University, his understanding of student problems is based upon personal experience. In spite of the press of his official duties, " Uncle Don " held a weekly Tuesday-evening open house where stu- dents could gather informally to meet him personally and enjoy an evening of fine music. With a record total enrollment of nearly eight thousand, the Ad- ministration early this year faced the problems which this enroll- ment would bring. New additions to the staff and the return to civilian life of many of the faculty alleviated the teacher shortage. Classroom space was enlarged by construction of new rooms and more extensive use of afternoon hours. Housing, the most critical of shortages, was aided by the acquisition of Dibble Hospital and the use of all available campus space. ALVIN C.
