m On May 14, 1959 Mr. Ellison was named Chairman of the University’s Board of Trustees. He holds the degrees of Bachelor of Arts (1917) and Bachelor of Laws (1921) from George Washington and was awarded the Univer- sity’s honorary degree of Doctor of Laws in 1957. Trustee Ellison is presently heading the fund campaign for the proposed Law Center. A past President of the George Washington Law Alumni Association, he was first elected to the Board of Trustees in 1943. As a public servant he has served in such positions as Chairman of the District Board of Elections and Chairman of tile Com- missioners’ Committee on Juvenile Crime. For his outstanding contributions to the community and the University, we commend Newell W. Ellison. It is an honor to dedicate this 1960 Cherry Tree to him.

WHO IS THE GW SENIOR? The a typical senior ” doesn ' t exist at the nations most cosmopolitan university If someone told you that you have just been selected a committee-of-one to name George Washington’s “typical senior,” you would have quite a problem on your hands. The fact is that no such person exists at this university. Our seniors come from towns and cities all over the country — -and from most of the other democratic nations in the world. They range in age from the late teens to 60 , and even older. Their dress varies from Ivy League to the ori- ental sari. In outlook, these seniors can be classi- fied anywhere from campus cut-up to serious scholar. George Washington, once called a “brain factory,” is the meeting place of thou- sands of different minds. No one is a typical senior. Despite this, most of us still have some things in common. Most of us have worked while attending the University, for example. This working fraternity, GW’s largest, creates many common bonds: night traffic jams, hurried meals, and streetcar study- ing are familiar parts of the students daily life. For the more casual members of the senior class, weekend fraternity parties, intramural sports, and unionizing at all hours are more typical aspects. The drudgery of cramming for final exams is a common bond for most — but that’s one we don’t like to think about. On a lighter plane, we are drawn together in University -wide events: the Homecoming dance, plays in Lisner, football games, and the rest. You will find the GW senior all over Wash- ington. At an embassy party you might meet the son of the Indian Ambassador, a political sci- ence student here. On Capitol Hill there are any number of part-time politicians who run down to Foggy bottom to bone up on the academic side of things. The same is true of most Federal office buildings. The head of the department, the secretary, or the elevator boy might also be the George Washington senior. On the next few pages, we give you a glimpse into the life of a group of seniors. 8
