VSxX V x ' vN -x; In Memoriam . . . Paul V. Sangren, as president of WMU from 1936 to 1960, gave to the university he loved leadership which was dedicated, enthusiastic and effective. We are saddened by his death, but we shall be ever grateful for his vigorous and responsible leadership by joining and working closely with Western ' s faculty for thirteen years, from 1923 to 1936. As faculty member and president, this pioneer and national spokesman for qualitative preparation of young people to take up careers of teaching gave thirty-seven years of his active professional life to this university. The man who sinks his pick axe into the ground wants that stroke to mean something. ' The strokes de- livered by President Sangren have had their significant consequences in preparing West- em to face its responsibilities of becoming one of the nation ' s leading universities in the Twentieth Century. Our deepest sympathy goes to his good wife, Flossie Sangren, who met her responsi- bilities as first lady of Western with warmth and friendliness to faculty members and their families and to students and their families.
