ADMINrSTRATION Dr. Rouse, a man of drive and action Being mindful of the needs of Anderson College, Dr. J. E. Rouse is continuously on the go to do something constructive about them. During his 13-year term as pres- ident, Dr. Rouse has focused his attention on various areas espe- cially the physical facilities. At present another dormitory for men is nearing completion and will house more than 100 students. Perhaps in the near future a chapel will be erected on campus in memory of the late Mr. R. H. Henderson. Mrs. Henderson do- nated $200,000 toward the chapel. The gymnasium is to be enlarged in the near future. Anderson College Is making progress in other areas. The faculty has been enlarged and this year ' s enrollment has broken all previous records. Capable leadership has been the key to much of the progress at An- derson College. Being a man of drive and action, Dr. Rouse is al- ways alert to ways of helping An- derson College. Dr. Rouse has the distinction of being president longer than any other college president in the state except Dr. Wright Spears of Co- lumbia College. Dr. Rouse displays history of Anderson College.

STRATION Mr Lavvton — strong man with an open mind Vice-President J. K. Lawton is a friendly, sincere individual who possesses an understanding of young people. Although a genera- tion gap exists when it comes to age, Mr. Lawton has the ability of injecting himself into the thoughts and workings of the younger set. Students recognize him as their friend. When time allows, he enjoys sitting down and talking with stu- dents. He likes to see students be- come involved in activities on campus, as a satisfied student body is important to any institution. Mr. Lawton is a strong individual in his thinking and dealings with others but he strives to keep an open mind and in doing so he communicates well. He also be- lieves in dialogue and knows the meaning of two-way communica- tion. He is a busy man as he is con- nected with two separate offices — vice-president of development, and the executive vice-president. Mr. Lawton is an outdoorsman and enjoys going to the farm and checking on his live stock. Mr. J. K.
