DUNCAN cnsNsHAw wnrmone THE A DMINISTRATIVE CCDMMITTEE HE executive affairs of the Alabama Polytechnic Institute were placed in the hands of an Administrative Committee when Dr. Bradford Knapp resigned. The Board of Trustees elected for this committee, which took charge on August 15, 1932, three outstanding members of the faculty, Dean John Wilmore of the School of Engineering, Director L. N. Duncan of the Extension Service, and Professor B. H. Crenshaw of the Department of Mathematics. The committee elected Dean Wilmore, chairman, Professor Crenshaw, vice-chair- man, and Director Duncan, secretary. .The committee also assigned specific duties to each member, although they have at all times worked as a unit and have received hearty and wholesome cooperation of the faculty and student body. Each member of the committee began at Auburn as an instructor and has advanced from this position to the WP in his chosen profession. Dean Wilmore began in 1888, Professor Crenshaw in 1891, and Director Duncan in 1905. The three, when they assumed their additional duties, had been connected with the Alabama Folbifejlinic Institute a total of 112 years, and their period of service at the end of the sixty-second session Ota s 8, They have performed faithfully, efficiently, intelligently, and courageously their additional duties without C9fnP6nsation other than the feeling and satisfaction of work well done. Students, faculty, alumni, and other CIUZCHS join in an expression of thanks and appreciation to them. In recognition of their great service to thc institution, the Board of Trustees authorized the awarding to each 'Fember of the Administrative Committee the honorary Doctor of Law degree. The degrees were officially esfoyved by Governor Miller, ex-officio president of the Board of Trustees, at the mid-year commencement exercises on January 25 in Langdon I-Iall. -0- TWENTY-THREE -0-
