Raymond W. Fairchild, Ph.D., LL.D. President, Illinois State Normal University President Mrs. Howard Hancock, Mrs. Fairchild, Mrs. Robert Fairchild, s The head of ISNU for twenty years, President Raymond W. Fairchild, saw two important steps toward future cam- pus development take place during the winter months. Ap- proval was given for a Student Union site and for con- struction of two new dormitories. ln addition to being instrumental in the construction of new buildings, sidewalks, flower beds, and repairs on older buildings, Dr. Fairchild also spent much of his time work- ing directly with the students. For example, the president adiusted his busy schedule to meet with a student leader group on the average of twice a month. Composed of heads from all-campus activities, the group met to discuss problems affecting the whole campus. The meetings, of course, consisted of discussion rather than policy forma- tion. This year Dr. Fairchild also continued his policy of participating in community affairs, attending all Teacher's College Board meetings, and acting on visitation com- mittees for other universities.
