Dr. Lowell E. Roberts Pieszdent Since 1957 when he was chosen President of Friends University, Lowell E. Roberts has lead the students to spiritual growth as well as academic achievement. In the five years of his service, Dr. Roberts has been responsible for a great many improvements at Friends, most notably, the academic standing of the school has raised considerably, new facilities of housing have been built, and the Davis Administration Building has been remodeled. President Roberts, with his wife and daughter Carol, lives in a large two story, gray house at 1730 University. He is an active member of the University Friends Church and a devout leader of various groups within the church. Besides his duties on campus, a busy schedule of speaking engagements throughout the United States awaits President Roberts each year. He goes through the straining schedules tirelessly and still has a smile for everyone. Quick-witted, sparkling personality, Dr. Roberts puts life and fun into the busy schedules of his help, and provides true encouragement for those who come in contact with him each day.

DMINI TR TIG Pictured below are the four administrators who serve under the direction of President Lowell E. Roberts. Although their duties vary within the areas they serve, each of these people are bound together by a common dedication to their work. Dr. Dorothy Craven is primarily responsible for those duties relating to educational activities. Acting in this capacity she establishes educational policies, supervises the curriculum, and arranges times and places for classes. Mr. Gerald Wlood, Comptroller, also carries many heavy responsibilities. Handling all school finances, his duties range from overseeing payroll procedures to maintaining an inventory of all school equipment. Merle Bender, Public Relations Director, serves a vital position with tireless energy and enthusiasm. The Direc- tor of Church Relations, the Alumni Director, and the Publicity Director, all operate under his direction, with each department gaining his constant attention. Friends University students frequently come in per- sonal contact with Clinton Humbolt, Personnel Director. Perhaps his earliest appearance is one which many would eliminate, since for most students this occurs during the early testing programs. Later encounters connect him with the health services, counseling, housing, and various other school services. ,V .. ,.,, H Yglfiiiiif at ,M Lgxy .
