Dr. Frank I. Prou! Dr. Prout visits Ellen Cham- bers as he makes his nightly round at the hospital. . Jwui Let's walk up the steps of the Well. Now turn right into the first office. Yes, that is where you can find our genial, fun-loving, but hard- working president, Dr. Frank J. Prout. Now in his seventh year as chief administrator at Bowling Green State University, Dr. Prout is thoroughly respected and sincerely liked by ev- ery student on campus. His office is only one of his many stopping places throughout the day. He may often be found in one of the dormitories, John- son hospital, or the Nest having a friendly chat with a group of students. Friendliness is but one of Dr. Prout's many merits. We all realize, however, that it is under his able leadership that our university has become a leading institution of learning in Ohio.
