retirement in 1965, functioned in a position similar to that of executive vice-president. John Elmendorf, who also left Brown recently, was a vice-president in the public relations field with an cye toward fund-raising. Another vice-presi- dent of long standing is F. Morris Cochran, whose position as Business Manager requires him to oversee the entire budget. Perhaps the most col- orful figure in Brown's administration is the Secretary of the Corporation, John Nicholas Brown, whose dedication and energy have kept his voice among the foremost in the determina- tion of the University's future.

Although positions are shifted and titles changed as the need arises, the essen- tial fact is that Brown has found capable, dedi- cated men to do the jobs required. The Dean of the College is perhaps best known to students, and along with his assistant for student affairs, he is the administrator most involved in and most influential in undergradu- ate activities. Charles H. Watts and Edward R. Durgin the last Dean of Students were among the first in these positions during the Keeney years; more recently, Dean Morse and his assistant Robert Hill filled the posts.
