The President t- eHE YEAR 1925-26 has witnessed the gradual unfolding of President h Lemuel H. Murhn7s new and vigorous policies. Working in an unobtrusive way and with a minimum of antagonism, Dr. Murlin has set about to carry into effect his program for a greater DePauw, Coming to his new task laSt spring With an envious reputation won as president Of Boston Ihliversity7 Drv Murhn faced a difficult situation. DePauw, With a growing enrollment far exceeding its facilities, With perplexing problems of finance, and with none too happy relationships between administra- tion and student body, was in a critical period. In spite of the handicap of ill health, the President has attacked these problems; and while much yet remains to be done, nevertheless the prospects are considerably brighter than a year ago The new policies announced this year include a raise in scholastic require- ments, the inauguration of a new athletic program with emphasis on intramural athletics, the introduction of dancing at formal parties, the revision of the much- maligned blue book, and a marked raise in tuition fees. A noteworthy phase of President Murlinh administration is the increased eO-operation between student body and administration. Dr. Murlin7s warm- hearted geniality disarms all the antagonism and suspicion frequently prevalent in such relationships, and 110 student, seeking advice, fails to find a sympathetic counsellor in the President.

Administrative Heads HENRY B. LONGEN, A. M., LL. D., V'ice-Presirlmt '13:: Henry B. Longden embodies, more than any other living man, the ideal of DePaquy In his administrative duties, part of the time as acting president, and the rest of the time as virze-president, he has been invaluable. He is also the head of the German Department, and people come to DePauw to take Longden, not German. Dr. Longden's humanity has made him almost a campus idol. He never overlooks human values. He is always sensitive to student needs and whims. No one has ever known him, in a Chapel address, to hint at a thing unfair to the student body. He was worth much in the beginning; and as DePauw has grown, his services have grown in proportion. SALEM B. TOWN, M. D, D, 13., Ta-easumr It was President Hughes who persuaded Dr. Salem B. Towne to leave a successful pastorate for a more difficult form of ministry. Dr. Towne has carried the integrity of a minister into his work as college treasurer. In the twenty one years he has served the college, there has never been a. deficiency of a dollar, or the misplacement of a penny of entrusted funds. He has dealt gently, in an exceedingly difficult position; and, through tact and understanding, has preserved the friendship of students and faculty. He is a. man in Whom one has absolute confidence. Dr. Towne might be called the prime minister of DePauw; for he has been chief counselor to five or six presidents, Who have sat at his feet for advice. MARION A. BRADFORD, A. B., Registrar Miss Bradford is not known to the students for any single, outstanding deed, but rather by a long succession of little things Well done. The registrarls work is mostly detail; recording grades, checking reports, and compiling statistics; but in the time Miss Bradford has served the school, she has never been accused of unfairness or inaccuracy. Her manner is always the same. No student or officer ever leaves her office feeling that she has been unjust. Other members of the administration carry the DePauw spirit into their policies and plans for the school. Miss Bradford car- ries it into the difficult minutiae. W. HENRY McLEAN, S. T. 13., Assistant to President After hearing an address by Mr. MeLean, Burr Mqlntosh, actor and broadcaster, said, NI have seen both hypocrisy and holiness in religious institutions. I have seen both sham and sincerity 0n the American stage. I have heard all kinds of teachings and all sorts of gospels from platform orators at luncheons, lectures and lodges--but this is the greatest, honest-to-goodness speech I ever heard in my lifelg, Mr. McLean is a. graduate of DePauW. He is assistant to the president, and instructor in College Essentials. His work affords him intimate contact with students, faculty and administration, and frequently he serves as connecting link between the three. His chief value lies in his triedimen- sional Viewpoint-religious, academic, and administrative. Page Eighteen
