The silvery-haired gentleman who runs.Hendrix College usually carries a gentle expression in the dark eyesg with provocation, however, those eyes can become piercing and shrewd. And for eight years now President Marshall T. Steel has commanded this nestling institution with both those looks. Perhaps the dignified man will be longest remembered for his spearheading of Hendrix's Great Building program. I-Ie has concerned himself above all with material gains for his college. And he has accomplished these gains through days and nights of travel and interviews and visits He has accomplished these gains by presenting himself a wise and graceful image of the liberal arts college. But Dr. Steel has also broadened the cultural aspect of our liberal arts home. Through his contacts, Hendrix has enjoyed such events as the visit of General David Sarnoff and also through his contacts, Hendrix will enjoy the aid of one of the country's leading architects in its build- ing program. Perhaps the underground library is a symbolistic synthesis of the material and the cultural gains that Dr. Steel has made for Hendrix. Certainly, the building will be a symbol of his dreams and aspirations for his college Family. xxx V.P. and Director of Development, james Major, is probably better known as the administratiorfs general coordinator Of such things as alnmnae activities anal college publicity.
