About four thousand individuals are so honored each year. This year, Lake Forest College has selected nine of their students as deserving of this recognition. We all know them. These are the men and women who have been campus leaders, who have been behind the scenes in our activitiesg these are the ones who assisted in making the machinery of our college life run smoothly. As meritous of this reward for scholarship and leadership,the college has selectedgDoris Ollman, William Bulow, Elizabeth Kastler, Charles Becker, Robert Patterson, Alan Gripe, June Gardner, Dorothy Burnham, and Louise Stilling. The faculty and students of Lake Forest Col- lege offer their sincere congratulations to these selected men and women. They have admirably displayed the qualities which XYho's YYho Among Students in American Universities and Colleges has avowed as the purpose of the volume- an incentive for students to get the most out of their college careers, as a means of compensation for what they have already done, as a standard of measurement for students com- parable to such agencies as Phi Beta Kappa and the Rhodes Scholarship Award, and as a recom- mendation to the business world.
