oDeun ji aruer Upon the appointment of Earl S. Garver to succeed Carl W. Holl as dean, President Schwalm declared, It has been a source of gen- uine pleasure for me to learn of the general and widespread approval which the appointment of Dr. Garver as dean has received. Young, short and lively, Dr. Garver is well qualified for his new position. Graduating with honors from Manchester College in 1933, Dr. Garver received his Ph.D. from Yale Uni- versity in 1943. He has held numerous teach- ing posts, including those at Trinity College, Yale, and Northeastern University, before be- coming head of the department of economics here at Manchester. He chose to return to Manchester because he felt that a small, co-ed, church related college could offer the best in educational oppor- tunity. Dr. Garver is a speaker and author with keen wit and sound judgment; the college commu- nity remembers his chapel address, In Defense 12

Roy Ohmart, Dwight Butler, Edith Dresher 5, rustees Working behind the scenes to promote the best interests of Manchester College are the trustees. Periodic meetings draw these admin- istrators from five states in the Central Region of the Church of the Brethren to do the too often thankless tasks of planning, organizing, and directing. Important decisions made this year included the selection of the new dean, the new college treasurer, continuing plans for the Winger Me- morial, and the acceptance of the social security system for faculty and staff. One is naive if he thinks a trustee is a bearded patriarch or some reactionary oblivious to the world today. On the contrary, while the ages of the trustees vary from 34 to 70, the average being 56, Manchester ' s trustees are outstanding leaders in many fields of accomplishment. Four are high school superintendents or principals, two are teachers in public high schools, three are ministers, one is an engineer, and five are manufacturers. These are the men and women who help plan for Manchester of tomorrow. 11

of High-Browism. He is author of a book, Puerto Rico, Unsolved Problem and is a con- tributor to a new college economics textbook. A versatile leader, he has held posts as a sum- mer camp counselor. Civilian Public Service camp director, and as director of international service and peace seminars. As director of last summer ' s international peace seminar in the Russian zone of Vienna, Austria, Dr. Garver concluded, We must in- crease our appreciation of the common man, and from the viewpoint of the economist, Fair business dealings, especially on the international level, is another step to peace. Dean Garver would also like to see the exchange student pro- gram enlarged and discrimination erased since Communism thrives best on the under-privi- leged minority groups. Students know the new dean for his provoca- tive economics classes, his confident manner, his skill at running up to third floor of the Ad building, his good-natured shoveling of em- bankments of snow, and his spirited games of tennis. The whole college community has recognized in Dean Garver a competent scholar, a man of sound judgment, agreeable and cooperative. He has won the confidence of the students, fac- ulty, and the administration. Short in stature, but big in accomplishments for a man of forty years, Earl S. Garver is a leader in many fields. He is a family man too, shown here with his wife, Winifred, and their children, Dai id and Caroline. 13
