John Hamzalz can do more work in ten minutes rlzan many people would fake Izozzrs to do. 'ffRl1f1IJCll7ICV1'S0lI, Adnzizzisrrafive Assistant In the President The full scope of John A. Hannah as an individual, lost in a mere recording of his achievements as President of MSU, can perhaps be found through the ideas of his as- sociates. John Hannah is a bright and warm person who never beats around the bush. He believes in coming to the point quickly and wants to know what is on your mind right away. The efficient interaction between him and others is completed with the quick and accurate decisions he can reach. He has the ability to conduct meet- ings of every kind in such a way that people feel invited to be heard. However, they are more than mere group discussion meetings that get nothing done, but rather there is a prevalent air of efficiency that moves the group to decisions. -C. L. Winder, Dean College of Social Science If l had to describe President Han- nah in one word it would be courage, Many people know what to do, but not all of them have the vision and courage to do it. He sees things through and doesn't scare easily. He generally tries to avoid trouble, but when the time comes that a problem has to be faced he does not hesitate to proceed. John Hannah will wade right into a job. His courage is exemplified by his vast purchases of land, his lack of fear of digging holes, or to face legislators on de- cisions. He has a wonderful ability to talk to different audiences. He has re- ceived standing ovations at meet- ings of college presidents and does equally well with an audience of farmers. This is reflective of his great range of adaptability to the occasion at hand. -Thomas K. Cowden, Dean College of Agriculture ,ff '-Y: nivfiw gggggg 'ff' ' ' JQQ?

If the end brings me out all right, what is said against me won't amount to anything. If the end brings me out wrong, ten angels swearing I was right wouldn't make any difference. -A. Lincoln
