Edwin R. Walker Chancellor Through Dr. Walkers careful planning, the college has grown physically as well as academ- ically. Ev idence of the physical growth he has promoted was the dedication of three new build- ings in the fall. One of these, the new science building, was named in honor of Dr. and Mrs. Walker during the week of dedication activ i- ties, held October 2-7. Although his position requires his concern to be with the overall view of Queens, Dr. Walker also keeps personally involved in the affairs of student government through his membership on Advisory Board and through meetings with presidents of organizations and classes. 21

Meeting semi-annually, the Board discusses Queens’ role as a liberal arts college, explores ways of increasing the quality of the education of the undergraduate student, and supervises the use of funds for the physical growth of Queens. A great deal of the members’ responsibilities involve serving on efficient standing commit- tees. This year an important committee set up by the Board was the committee to select a new college president. This office was vacated last year when Dr. Walker became Chancellor of the college. 20
