ADMINISTRATION COMPETENT Dean of College CLIFFORD C. LARSON Dean of Students CLIFFORD V. ANDERSON Dean of Women F.FFIF. V. NELSON LEADERS Confidence in your leaders is vital in your educational experience. We at Bethel are fortunate to have administrative leaders who consistently inspire such confidence in their ability. Mundane problems that occur day by day are handled with such efficiency and tact that we seldom realize their existence. Then there are those unusual happenings which we have seen so ably managed. President Lundquist’s competent leadership has been seen in the striking changes in the Bethel campus during the last several years. Physical improvements provide a greater comfort and convenience in living. Important academically are the extensive curriculium revisions that accompanied the adoption of the semester system. The new office of the Dean of Students has been effective in handling the student’s multifarious problems and needs. The next decade will continue to see unusual changes at Bethel. In the next decade of advance at Bethel, we are assured that as scholars and Christians our administration will give us competent leadership. 16
