FINDLAY President He has had a lot to learn since he came to Drury two years ago from the University of Oklahoma, but he is a real Druryite now. His ambition has always been to direct a plan of personalized educa- tion in a small college. His new plan is a year old now and with his able direction it has achieved nationwide recognition and even an editorial in a newspaper in Hawaii. His job covers everything from listening to the personal problems of his students to speaking in chapel and asking the trustees for a larger budget. We all love him and we're proud to call him our prexy.

lHl llllll ni ill snlnui DR. G. H. BENTON The freshmen met him for the first time when they trouped into his office on registration day to have him sign those little white cards lrememberi. And even after he had looked them over carefully and had signed hundreds of them he still had a friendly smile and a personal vvord to each of us. And maybe you've had him for European or Ameri- can History or some of his more advanced courses. lf you have, you know him as one of the most scholarly men on the campus. His subtle sense of humor and sometimes satirical class lectures dis- tinguish him as an outstanding personality that we will remember long after we have le-ft Drury.
