ggfl AMID THE RISING DIFFICULTY OF KEEPING THE LARGE INSTITUTION FUNCTIONING DURING A STATE OF NATIONAL EMERGENCY, THE ADMINISTRATION FINDS ITSELF FIGHTING A BATTLE ON TWO FRONTS- ONE THAT OF MAINTAINING AND OPERATING THE SCHOOL AND THE OTHER OF CONVINCING THE STUDENTS THAT THEIR GREATEST DUTY AT THE PRESENT TIME IS THE CONTINUANCE OF THEIR EDUCATION. FACING A POSSIBILITY OF MORE LEAN WAR YEARS, THE FUTURE IS ANYTHING BUT BRIGHT.

OUR PRESIDENT DR. R. F. POOLE A graduate of Clemson College, Dr. Robert Franklin Poole has dedicated his life to the field of education. Although the duties of his office require him to be away from the school a good part of his time, the president can always find time to talk with the students and his plain-spoken advice has helped solve many problems. An indication of the progress on the campus under the guidance of Dr. Poole may be seen in the enormous expansion program under- taken since the war. The erection of new chemistry and ag engineering buildings are contributing factors that keep Clemson among the top of American colleges. Dr. Poole is always on the go, but here he takes time out to look over some papers with Miss Virginia Shanklin, the President ' s assistant. Finding out the other half ' s ideas, the president stops for a chat with a student. THE BOARD OF DEANS AND DIRECTORS The board of Deans and Directors, who handle administrative affairs affecting all of the schools, stop work for a minute to pose for the camera. Clockwise from the head of the table: Dr. R. F. Poole, Mr. W. H. Washington, Mr. G. E. Metz, Dr. H. L. Hunter, Dr. H. M. Brown, Mr. J. C. Littlejohn, Dr. H. P. Cooper, Mr. A. J. Brown, Col. F. E.
