The President ' s Message Office of the President, February 4, 1933. Human institutions make progress in waves or cycles. Emphasis changes from period to period, from era to era. Recent years inckide the latter portion of what is known as the post-war period, a remarkable period of growth, of ad- vancement, of social change, of hysteria, of degeneration, of collapse. Education of the right sort must be an essential factor in society ' s regeneration. As a basic, vital, social agency, education must and shall be preserved. We are now entered upon a critical time for educational institutions. Many vital problems force themselves upon the attention of America. So far no one has appeared with a completely satisfying explanation of the disaster, or with a treat- ment which will guarantee recovery or prevent recurrence. If and when these happy results are achieved one thing is certain, that dependence must he placed upon an educated citizenry trained to think, to understand the successes and mis- takes of the past and gifted with the intelligence that can project these painful lessons into a happier future. With these thoughts in mind I extend greetings to the staff of the 1933 Wvo, to the members of the junior class who sponsor the publication, and to the student body of the University of Wyoming whose activities for the school year just clos- ing are included in this book. All of you are making the finest preparation to meet the challenge of the immediate fu ture. You will constitute the educated citizenry of the future, and with you will rest the world ' s perplexing future problems. Good luck ! A. G. CRANE, President.

Major B. C. Daly, Acting Registrar. The Registrar NE of the busiest offices on the campus is that of the Registrar. There the current records of students are started and kept up to date ; there the price- less records of those who have gone before are filed. All matters of admission to the University, evaluation of credits earned else- where, transcripts of credits earned, class absences, individual data of all kinds — historical and statistical — pertaining to students, are handled by the Registrar. He compiles the University Catalogue, certifies as to the eligibility of athletes to repre- sent the University, of students to join fraternities, and also keeps an eagle eye on the scholastic records of those who represent the University in other activities. Registration at the beginning of each quarter comes under his purview, and he acts as secretary to the Committee of Deans and Registrar, which handles the multitudinous academic petitions submitted by students. During the leave of absence of Registrar Ralph E. McWhinnie, the office has been very efficiently filled by Major B. C. Daly, Acting Registrar.
