President Jonathan W. French, Jr. President French began his administrative duties at Emerson College, July 1, 1950, as our new Dean of the College. Then in March of 1951, he was made our Acting President. On December 3rd, 1951, he was elected sixth President of the college. His extensive educational, administrative, and personnel background has well prepared him for the task of guiding Emerson. President French was graduated from Bowdoin College in 1937, received a Certificate d’Etudes fran- caises at the Universite Poitiers, Tours, France, and received his Ed.M. in Guidance and Personnel at Harvard in 1950. He has also studied at the Universite de Dijon, Cote d’or France, and Columbia University. President French began his career teaching at Bow- doin College, later at Phillips Exeter Academy, but when he entered the Navy in 1943 as a Naval Reserve Officer, his administrative talents came to the fore, and since then he has specialized in administrative and personnel work. President French’s appointment at Emerson College has developed into a two capacity requirement. All requirements are successfully met in our Dean of the College, and our President. i Dean Harold R. Keller The Emerson College Dean of Adminis- tration, Dean Harold R. Keller, is the very quiet and efficient co-ordinator of the busi- I ness aspects of the college. Dean Keller graduated from the U. S. Naval Academy at I Annapolis, and rose to the rank of Captain, U. S. Navy. Added to this background he has had more than twenty years in active I business in Boston before entering this ; administrative position in 1948. Such experience naturally enables Dean , Keller to meet successfully all administra- tive problems which may arise at Emerson, where he supervises administrative person- nel, purchasing, and management of build- ings and grounds- Director of Admissions Mr. W. David Crockett In June of 1950, Mr. W. David Crockett was elected to the post of Director of Ad- missions. Much of his time is spent visiting various secondary schools to stimulate interest in Emerson. Mr. Crockett also is an Assistant Professor of Speech. He received his B.L.I. degree from Emerson, his Ed.M. from Tufts, and is at present working on his Ph.D. at Boston University. page eleven
