President In his three years as president of Bowling Green State University, Dr. Ralph W. McDonald has worked hard to build the academic standards and to improve the physical appear- ance of the campus. As head of the Administration, Dr. McDonald governs all policy concerning academic phases. Last spring, upon sug- gestion of the Council on Student Affairs, Dr. McDonald rec- ommended to the Board of Trustees that the four-year-old car rules be modified, and then, if satisfactory, lifted for the l953-54 school year. This cooperation between the student body and the Administration resulted in a successful step for all concerned. Plans for the new Student Union and Women's dormitory were given final approval by the Board of Trustees and Dr. McDonald in the fall, A complete remodeling of the Presi- dent's office and the Dean of Women and Dean of Students office as well as the remodeling of several other offices in the Administration Building were completed this year. President Ralph W. McDonald Besides supervising the academic responsibilities of the University, President McDonald along with Mrs. McDonald carried on a very active social life during the year. ln the fall Dr. and Mrs. McDonald welcomed the freshmen to Bowling Green at a tea in the Nest given in their honor. They also entertained Student Senate, the foreign students, and had a reception for Greeks in their home at 838 E. Wooster. Dr. and Mrs. McDonald did not always do the entertaining, as they accepted many invitations to teas and dinners given by campus organizations. ll is through this social life of our president that we as students get to know Dr. McDonald not only as an administrator but as a person. Pres. and Mrs. McDonald welcome freshmen.
