Everyone knows the old cliche, h'Only the names and the faces. But at Baldwin-Wallace this doesn't hold all that true. The events which take place during the school year are always new, the participants change with the turn of the calendar page. and the audi- ences have new faces in them. The special events that occur throughout the year include threatre productions, sporting events, conservatory concerts, Pro- gram Board productions. greek happenings, and many more. Each student that comes to B-W has the opportunity to become one of these special events. leSpecial Events

Dr. A.B. Bonds, Jr. retires after 26 years He has accomplished more in his lifetime than most people can dream of doing. He has done more for Baldwin-Wallace College than anyone, including himself, though possible. Dr. Alfred Bryan Bonds Jrfs name has become almost synonomous with the college as far as most people in the area are concerned, which is fitting since he has been its president for 26 years. Most would consider this is a lifelong career, but Dr. Bonds has done much more than this. A listing ofall his accomplishments is impossi- ble in this space, but a few highlights allow a glimpse of the depth of Dr. Bondsis career. In 1942 and 1943, he was act- ing Chief of the Educational Surveys Branch for the War Manpower Com- mission and later became Assistant Executive Secretary for President Truman's Commission of Higher Education. These and more titles have belonged to Dr. Bonds before he became President of the College. He is as active now, if not more active, than he was in the past. He's a member 0f 17 different organiza- tions, and on eight different boards of trustees; he has authored a book and 13 published articles. Out of all these things, what could be his most memo- rable? There are many memorable events, he said with a smile, Itbut one that I take great pride in was the opening of the first building which I was able to put up. I found out that it could be done, and I did it. That first building was Ritter Li- brary, built in 1959. Since then approximately 20 build- ings have been constructed on cam- pus under his direction including the Strosacker Hall, Kamm Hall. Finney Stadium, and Bonds Administration Building to name a few. Other highlights in his memories are the Bach Festival, accomplish- ments of men's and women's athletic teams, and the numrous excellent theatrical productions put on by the school. When he began as President, Dr. Bonds felt that the school was so small that people here had what seemed to be an inferiority complex. Changing this attitude was the most important contribution, in his opin- ion. It was the creation and expansion of a spirited pride in the institution on the part of the students. faculty and staffmembers. he said. nNow. this is one of the finest small colleges in the nation. and a great many of the stu- dents and certainly the faculty mem- bers are aware of it. I think, he con- cluded, tlthat this one basic attitu- dinal change would have to stand as the one most significant element of evolution in the life of this campus. After his present duties are com- pleted, and a new president chosen, he will become Chancellor of the College and continue working to raise new funds and friends for the college. He also has what he calls Ilitchy feet for travelling to some places he hasnit been yet. It may seem strange then, that when most people think of AB. Bonds. they don't think of his many accomplishments. Rather. they think of a warm and loving human being who extends himself, his humour. courtesy, and understanding to every- one he meets. We will miss this man who has accomplished so much, ex- perienced so much, and helped so many: Dr. Afred Bryan Bonds, Jr., President of Baldwin-Wallace Col- lege. Bonds reliresj?
