Dr. Leo W. Jenkins Much is required of a college president; obviously, a special kind of person is needed for the task. He must be able to compress days into hours and hours into minutes. Dr. Jenkins is that kind of man. The difficult and extra-ordinary are an integral part of his life. As president of East Carolina College he is many things — a scholar, a leader, a financier, a politician — and he is more. He is the organizational center of the College, the man around whom all decisions are made, all problems resolved. His office is his central working area, but his work is everywhere. The problems of the College — academic, social, financial — take him to Raleigh, to New York, and to any place where a solution may be found; but Greenville, Pitt County, and all of eastern North Carolina are where Dr. Jenkins must centralize his operations. He is gradually turn- ing East Carolina into the focal point and leading center of this area. Among the many things that a college president does, one of the most vital is his job of representing the school to potential supporters. In this state-supported college, the president also has the difficult task of presenting the needs of the College to the State Legislature. Speaking before this body on numerous subjects including the College bud- get, the proposed medical school, and the Speaker Ban Law, Dr. Jenkins has won far more support for East Carolina than it has previously had. Dr. Jenkins is a man who leads a full family life and a man who actively participates in the affairs of his community. Always on the move, he keeps the College on the move.

Dr. Robert L. Holt Solving everyone ' s academic problems is part of the many faceted job of Dr. Robert L. Holt, Vice-President and Dean of the College. As the official in charge of all parts of East Caro- lina ' s academic world, Dr. Holt leads a life of varied and hectic days. He works closely with all departmental directors, all faculty committees, and all administrative officials. With the departments ' expanding at the fastest pos- sible rate, Dr. Holt ' s work increases with every passing month; with the number of the faculty and staff always growing, his duties as a coordinator expand daily. Dr. Holt ' s position and duties are surging forward as fast as the College is growing; and at the present rate, he has a very busy future waiting. Mr. F.D. Duncan Carefully watching and regulating the seemingly endless and unrelated physical expansion of the campus, Mr. F. D. Duncan is the College Vice- President and Business Manager. Constantly working with the financial problems of the expansion, Mr. Duncan keeps a close watch on all the various construction projects underway around the campus. As the key figure in the business structure of the College, Mr. Duncan works closely with every phase of East Carolina life. When he is not checking contracts, innumerable orders for equipment, or the College payroll, he can as easily be working on construction plans, student fees, or the next biennial budget.
