President Clyde Everett Wildman ' Under the presidency of Clyde E. Wfildman DePauw University has con- tinued as one of the most progressive institutions in the nation. Grad- uating from DePauw in 1913, President Wfildman returned to his alma mater in 1936 to succeed Bishop G. Bromley Oxnam as president. Since then he has won for himself a place in the hearts of DePauw students, alumni, and friends throughout the nation. He is one of the finest exem- plifications of the true DePauw spirit. Although most DePauw students are acquainted with the professional side of President Wildman, few of us are fortunate enough to know well his after hours side. While he is not handling executive affairs, he could probably be found pursuing one of his hobbies. One of his favorites is baseball. He is a National League fan and is a close friend of Ford Frick. He also likes football and follows closely the teams and players of the Big Ten. At home President Wildman reads a lot. He is especially partial to de- tective stories but also reads classical literature. He is interested in music and is now making a collection of recordings of Beethoven's works. 19

Trustees Guide DePauw gs Destiny Guiding DePauw from behind the scenes are the forty-four members of the joint board of trustees and visitors. At the head of the board, which contains eminent representatives from every walk of life, is President Roy O. West, a trustee since 1914. To these men must go much of the credit for the Wisdom that has been shown in determining the policies of the university and making DePauw foremost among schools of its type. Physical evidence of their progressive spirit are Mason Hall, beautiful new Women's dormitory, and Harrison Hall, new natural science building. Completion of the latter building, which Was named in honor of John H. Harrison, a trustee for four years, and which houses the most modern and complete apparatus, marks one of the greatest single additions to the physical equipment of the University in the one hundred and three years of its existence.
