Chancellor Frederick M. Hunter. The Gkmwllmf Dynamic is the Word for Chancellor Frederick M. Hunter, as he introduces famed speakers to the student body, addresses the State Board of Higher Education, or chats casually with students of the University. Dr. Hunter's desire to become an educator was stimulated With the award of a Phi Beta Kappa key when he was in attendance at the University of Nebraska. He also found time from his books to be- come one of the West's greatest football players of the time. When educators of the United States meet to discuss their prob- lems and prescribe methods to better our schools, Dr. Hunter finds himself in their midst, and brings back to Oregon new ideas and a renewed spirit which spreads spontaneously upon his return.

G26 Boar During the past twelve months, eight men and a single Woman composing the State Board of Higher Education, through their dili- gent, intelligent, and conscientious endeavors, have aided the Uni- versity, as well as the other state schools, to surge farther to the front. Appointed by Governor Martin, these educators' duties are to check carefully all the educational facilities of the state schools, to promote legislative measures dealing with the Welfare of these schools, and to balance the budget. This present State Board of Higher Education Worked side by side with the Oregon legislative members during the last session, pro- moting an appropriation which will aid the system next fall to restore the millage deficit, take care of the increase in enrollment, and to aid in the restoration of salaries and Wages. Members of the board at present are B. F. Irvine, Portland, Wil- lard L. Marks, Albany, Herman Oliver, John Day, Edward C. Pease, The Dalles, F. E. Callister, Albany, Beatrice Walton Sackett, Salem, C. A. Brand, Roseburg, E. C. Sammons, Portlandg Robert VV. Ruhl, Medford. YVillard L. Marks is president of the board for the biennium, Edward C.

Che jzfesidelzf For an opinion on a subject which needs consideration and much thought, leaders of the University and members of the State Board of Higher Education turn to President C. Valentine Boyer. Although President Boyer divides his time between the University and the edu- cational problems in Portland, he handles both with ease, capability, and exactness. Villard hal1's office of the president enables him to remain in close contact with the arts and letters department, of which he was at one time head. His interest in this department continues to grow, how- ever, as he endeavors to further plans that will acquaint the students with its advantages. At home, Dr. Boyer finds relaxation with his two stately collies.
