DR. VERNE O. GRAHAM In September of 1938 Dr. Verne O. Graham brought his pleasant smile and genial disposition to the office of President at the Chicago Normal College. It was rumored that he was interested in mushrooms — in fact, that he was quite an authority on the subject. It was not long before the faculty and student body realized that another eminent scientist had been added to our midst. Dr. Graham has made a long climb from his first position as a teacher in Ohio rural schools to the principalship of different Chicago schools and now to his three-fold duties as President of Chicago Normal College, Dean of Woodrow Wilson Junior College, and Principal of Parker Practice School. His achievements include the chairman- ship of the Conservation Council of Chicago and mem- bership in the Chicago . cadeniy of Science. During the summer Dr. Graham conducts biological surveys. MRS. EMMA FLEER MULLER .Mrs. Emma Fleer MuUer, who so efficiently irons out all of the school ' s problems and handles such all-im- portant affairs as Senior Proms and graduation arrange- ments, taught science at the Chicago Normal College be- fore entering her present position. She had had previous experience in universities since she had been an instruc- tor at Marquette University and on the Midway. Her interest in her position at Normal has carried her into sincere work for both the Illinois State and the National Deans ' Associations. Despite her many duties, Mrs. luUer enjoys a game of tennis, good plays, and travel. WILLIAM G. WILSON Mr. William G. Wilson bears the title of Assistant to the President, a position which he has held since Febru- ary. 1934. It was in 1925 that Mr. Wilson came to Normal where he first carried the duties of Industrial Arts instructor and then became a member of the Educa- tion Department. Prior to this he had been a manual training teachei- in the Chicago schools which included work at Austin High School where he taught woodwork, electrical construction, and general science. He was one of the successful candidates for a principal ' s certificate in the recent Board of Education examinations. The efficiency with which the school is run is due in great measure to Mr. Wilson ' s quite capable manner of handling the many problems which arise in school administration.
