E S I E N T J . E . WA LLACE STERLING Stanford ' s genial president, Dr. Wallace Sterling, connbines the talents of the ideal university president. An historian, he is a scholar of distinction with a deep under- standing of the university ' s academic re- sponsibilities. Yet, when challenged by a burgeoning university ' s tremendous admin- istrative tasks, he proved himself a skilled leader with a keen business sense. As a former athlete and coach in his native Canada, he is known to be one of the most enthusiastic rooters for Indian athletic teams, and he finds time in his busy schedule for meeting with students. When Dr. Sterling became Stanford ' s fifth president in 1949, he had served as the director of the Huntington Library and Art Gallery in San Marino and on the faculty at the California Institute of Technology. He holds a Stanford Ph.D. J. E. WALLACE STERLING President of the University H ■ 77 Ib ' ■1 BrFt V HI HHi 16

H. DONALD WINBIGLER Dean of Students AD I N I STRATO R S Administrators are the people who keep the wheels of the University turning and, directly or indirectly, they have a great deal to do with the lives of students. The one in closest touch with the student body as a whole is Dean of Students H. Don- ald Winbigler. Under his direction are the activities of the chief counselors for men and for women, admissions, registrar, placement service, and other offices. The University ' s business affairs, accounting, fund-raising, and Its press are In the charge of other key officers. Physical and spiritual wellbeing of the students are also administrative respon- sibilities. The dean of the graduate division, in addition to academic supervision, has a large hand In the arrangement of research grants. Most of the v orld at large is convinced that the pace within university walls is slow and easy. Nothing could be farther from the truth In the case of Stanford administrators, who wiiringly put in long and sometimes harried hours for the reward of sharing In the work of a great university.
