Dr. Edwin R. Walker In a sense, Dr. Walker is Queens College. 1 he library’s unique mosaic, the Queens and Dana Scholarship Program, the scale model ol the proposed I ine Arts Building—all reflect and symbolize Dr. Walker as they do the college. Through his realistic planning, in nine years of capable administration, Queens has approached the exceptional. Beneath the dignified exterior, there reside a very warm heart and thoughtful nature. From Boar’s Head to Boar’s Head, we look forward to the traditional Telling the President.” Or we love the informality with which he may drop in the dining hall at breakfast for a cup of coffee and an exchange of pleasantries. For these reasons, and because he is synonymous with Queens, we hold him in high affection and esteem.

ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICERS Activities encompassing every phase of campus life are co- ordinated by the administrative officers. From admissions to alum- nae, the administration is intently interested in the student's needs throughout and even prior to her college career and is aware of her activities after graduation.

A school ban k is maintained for her convenience. In the interest of Char- lotte residents, a department of adult education is maintained. 1 he student forms close ties within these offices in her four years, through dependence upon their various services and coun- sel. She is appreciative of the quiet, efficient attendance upon her personal well-being. Don Farquharson T recisurer George S. Kilner Business Manager Robert W. Shaw Director of Evening College Harry C.
