i l L '-,.f PRESIDENT WILDMAN Dr. Clyde E. Wildman, President ot DePauw, is one of the tinest exernplificatoins of the true DePauw spirit. He literally lives and breathes DePauw in his numerous and extensive tours ot the country. He is the tinest interpreter ot DePauw tradition we have. Although he is constantly traveling and speaking, he has shown his remarkable ability time after time to understand and appreciate any situation. Perhaps it is the bright twinkle in his eye and knowing smile as he views a funny situation or recalls the days when he was a student in DePauw. Dr. Wildman has received the lollowing degrees: AB., Ph.D., S.T.B., and Ll..D., and still he remains to us just a grown-up DePauw student whom recently at the sophomore Snow Ball we christened King Curly, which title is his students' way ot paying a tribute to a mon they honor and admire. 15
