Chancellor John G. Bowman CHANCELLOR JOHN GABBERT BOWMAN The Class of 1938 cherishes among the fondest remembrances of its college life, an appreciation of the personality as well as the ideals of Chancellor John G. Bowman. We have been fortunate indeed in being better able to sense the warm friendliness he radiates, while continuing to reap the benefits of his idealistic achievements. For. it is from those ideals that have sprung, not only our magnificent Cathedral, but a philosophy of life and education that has been to us the true goal of all learning. But what has served to endear him more, to University students, have been intimate glimpses into his private life and carefree youth. How realistically every boy lived over again with him, the pranks of his college days which he told so delightfully at Assembly meetings. Groups of rabid candid camera addicts have found in him an enthusiastic associate, for among his prized possessions is a dark room, where he has spent many happy hours developing his own prints. He laughingly admits to being, particularly, a bug on nature photography. There is something appealing about a man who will sit for hours, eagerly awaiting an opportunity to snap the picture of a tinv field mouse, poking his timid nose out into the bright sunshine. Such heart warming anecdotes have brought Chancellor Bowman closer to every student where his sincerity and friendship may be fully appreciated. 20
