Hand onthe Helm... Cne of the BMOC's of the class oi 1913 was our own President Clyde E. Wildman. The range ol his activities while at DePauw would furnish a goal toward which aspiring campus leaders of today might well aim. ln those days when debate was as important in Indiana as basketball is now, Dr. Wildman served on the varsity debate team and was a member of Tau Kappa Alpha, Forerunner of the present debating honorary, Delta Sigma Rho. l'lis forensic abilities won him prizes in this country and while studying abroad. Also active in the field of athletics, President Wildman was on the volleyball team that was the regional winner in New Yorlc State. As cheer leader he led class yells in chapel, and he still remembers many of the intricate yells. During his senior year he be- came baseball manager. He was president of his sophomore class and a member of the YMCA For Four years, acting as treasurer one year and president another. It was his YMCA experience that prompted him to give up his law study in Favor of the ministry. Later he made his final voca- tional choice in the field of education. President Wildman was a member of the Commons Club while at DePauw and he capped his Four years of Liberal Arts education by earning a Phi Beta Kappa lcey. Now, as president of the University, Dr. Wildman has managed to lceep every bit of his youthful interest and enthusiasm in all of the phases of his alma mater's life. 16
