THE PRESIDENT Holding the chief administrative position here at Michigan, President Harlan H. Hatcher demonstrates unique wisdom and wise decision. Although constantly confronted by a busy schedule of activities and appointments, which dominate the life of a college president, Dr. Hatcher manages to effectively meet the problems of administration and relations with the legislature, the press and the alumni, showing great warmth and sincere friendliness. Under his supervision, for the past eight years the University of Michigan has established one of the finest printing organizations among colleges in this country and has constructed some of the most excellent library facilities for students in an academic institution. During the past year, in addition to performing his regular duties, President Hatcher was invited to attend the inauguration of the Mexican president. This invitation enabled Dr. and Mrs. Hatcher both to serve as representatives for the North American colleges and to extend cordial relations between the two countries. 30
