Administration President M. O. Ross Dr. M. 0. Ross, who came to Butler University as Dean of the College of Business Administration in 1938, became the sixteenth President of the University in February of 1942. During the sixteen years of his administration, the University has progressed and expanded greatly and gives promise of continuing to advance still further in the future. Dr. Ross received his Bachelor of Arts degree from Kentucky Wesleyan College at Winchester, where he was extremely active and where he earned letter awards in every sport. He received the degrees of Master of Arts and Doctor of Philosophy from the University of Chicago ; and honorary degrees have been conferred on him by Indiana Central, Kentucky Wesleyan, and Wabash Col- leges. Dr. Ross is chairman of the National Commission on Accrediting, a member of the Committee on Profes- sional Education of the North Central Association of Col- leges and Universities, and a member of the Steering Committee of the Governor ' s Commission on Education beyond the High School. The duties and activities of the president of a univer- sity are not only those of administration and of academic leadership. Helping Dr. Ross with the many social obli- gations which are concomitant to his office is his gracious and charming wife. Mrs. Ross completed her undergrad- uate course of study at Mississippi State College for Women, where she majored in history and was editor of the college newspaper. She received a Master of Arts degree from the University of Wisconsin. Dr. and Mrs. Ross live on Hampton Drive near the campus with their son Jere, who entered Yale University last fall. 13
