Qo6a 70. Settee Like the author of any good book tries to make all the action of his story focus toward one cen- tral point, the administrator of any college will make as his aim a better school. Fairmont State College is very fortunate in having just such a president. John Wesley Pence has served as president of FSC since 1952. His association with the col- lege, however, dates back to 1926 when he came to Fairmont State as instructor in Political Sci- ence and Economics. He held the position of Dean of Men from 1928 to 1946. He served as acting president during 1947-48 while President Joseph Rosier was serving in the U. S. Senate. He became Dean of the college in 1947 and held this position until 1952 when he was appointed president. For his untiring and faithful service during these years, we acknowledge the addition Presi- dent Pence has made in the growth of our school.
