President Kerr President of the far-flung University of California, with its nine campuses and numerous projects and extensions spread throughout the state and around the world is one of America ' s most distinguished educators, Clark Kerr. President Kerr has been nationally recognized in academic circles as the originator and the foremost proponent of the multiversity concept. He has sought to maintain the integrity of the University of California while allowing each campus to develop its own individual personality and specialties. An alumnus of the University of California, Berkeley, Kerr became the twelfth president of the university in 1958, succeeding Dr. Robert Gordon Sproul. Because of his background as a professor of industrial relations, the president has also served as arbitrator in a number of labor disputes. The multiversity is well administered. r GERALD H. HAGAR, Oakland resident and Chairman of the Regents of the University of California, wields the gavel at all meetings of the group which decides the policies administer- ed by UC President CLARK KERR (right).

California, have the power to make all decisions and policies for the statewide university, handle its finances, and plan for the future.

Remaining aloof from politics, they are usually civic and business leaders who receive a token stipend for their services. University Board of Regents Regents FORBES, HELLER, DAVIS, Lt.

Much sought-after as a speaker for civic groups. Chancellor FRANKLIN D. MURPHY is noted for his lucid extemporaneous addresses. Dynamic Leader Dr. Murphy One of the finest universities in the Western World is the goal which has been set for UCLA in 1970 by its farsighted chancellor, Dr. Franklin D. Murphy. Under the dynamic leadership of this man, UCLA is rapidly approaching the reali- zation of this summit of academic excel- lence. The youthful vigour which is so characteristic of this campus is a direct result of the influence of the chancellor. Murphy gives full credit to the tradition and organization of the statewide system, yet believes that UCLA should reflect its own distinctive personality as well. The chancellor is particularly noted for his extemporaneous speeches, which have been heard by many civic groups throughout the state. Murphy, an avid supporter of intercollegiate athletics, contributed his efforts to a successful drive which made possible the Memorial Activities Center. 1963 s California Father of the Year explains the finer points of UCLA football action to Bruin rooters Franklin Jr. and friend. 20
