ADMINISTRATION It takes a lot to make a university a working organization. Without an administration no university could continue. Without the A. U. administration this school could not operate. Their func- tions are varied — admission, bursar, registrar, infirmary, cafeteria — and on and on. Their jobs hold no glamour — just difficult detailed work that enables the school to function as a working unit. We the students of A, U. owe a lot to these hard workers as we realize that they are dealing with thousands of people and try- ing to do so in as competent a manner as possible. They attempt to take each person ' s case up individually and give it careful con- sideration. They are the key to both the CAS and the SSSPA, for without them there could be no such things We sincerely thank them for what they have done in the past and we shall strive to help them in the big job that they have in the future.

The goal of all underclassmen should be the unification of The American University into a great institution. ERNST POSNER Director of the School of Social Sciences and Public Affairs. You will always remember this teeming block between 19th and 20th Streets on F. Happy times, moments of contempla- tion and of dedication, flashes of insight, realizations of the power of knowledge and the trained mind — these you have ex- perienced. The faculty you leave behind thanks you for renewed faith in the eter- nal potentialities of youth and the future ... A good commencement! AUSTIN VAN DER SLICE Dean of the Undergraduate Division Farewell and best wishes to the Class of ' 49. You couldn ' t want a more interest- ing, exciting, and demanding world in which to try your hand. There is much to be gotten from it, and a wonderful chance to add your own particular contribution to human destiny. PITMAN B. POTTER Dean of the Graduate Division.
