m President George Nor 1 in. Ph H , I, LP aRO» SC IKil . 1 . author, teacher; or- i;aiiizcr, Imildcr, administrator: walker, tra eier, fisherman — these talents and interests of President George Norlin reveal, better than many other words could do, the breadth and the depth of the char- acter of the man. He was a suc- cessful teacher of Greek. He is now a translator of Greek whose work has earned wide approbation. He is a successful University presi- dent. To succeed in these widely separated fields, he must possess a rare combination of qualities. He was a professor of Greek in the I ' niversity for se enteen ears, and for twent%-eight ears has been a leading figure in the development of the institution and in the acade- mic advancement it has made. For eleven years he has administered the atTairs of the I ' niversity as president. The - were eleven of the most difficult in the history- of the institution, including the war period, the adniini.sUMtuin (jl tiie l)uilding program, the growth of the student body to a number three limes as large as when he began. While bringing the University through this difficult period, President Norlin has edited and translated the works of Socrates, published a book of speeches and papers, and made many public addresses; he has walked in the hills, fished in the streams, traveled to the Islands of the Sea. We missed him during his leave of absence last year, and we are glad he is back in his office in Macks ' Building. Pagt 19
