Prout, who retired as president of Bowling Green State University on September 1, 1951, we of the yearbook staff dedicate the 1952 Key. In the twelve and one half years that he served as president, Dr. Prout was responsible for the development of Bowling Green in the areas of culture and education, physical growth, and national renown. In 1939, when Dr. Prout took over the presi dency, there were ten brick buildings on the University grounds. In 1952, there are thirty nine such buildings, along with frame struc tures such as the Commons, East and lvest Hall and Prout Chapel. During the years of his presidency, the enroll ment has more than tripled, reaching a peak of 4,600 during his term of office. The University has also added three accreditations from na tional and regional bodies, to make a total of five. Vlfhile llr. Prout was president, Bowling Green gained national publicity because of its out standing basketball and debate teams. So, for the progress he has instituted, and also for his friendliness and interest in the individual student, we ol' thc Key staff dedicate this issue to Ur. Frank J. Prout, president emeritus.
