The President Dr. John Ripley Young, President of Monticello College, attended Marshall College from which he received his B.A. degree. He then received his M.A. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Illinois. Upon the capable shoulders of Dr. Young rest the difficult responsibility of solving all the insolvable ' problems that arise in the administration of the college, of overseeing all educational interests, of supervising all employment. Apart from this herculean task of directly presiding over faculty and students, he managed to find time to read the Litany at the Vesper Services, and to make his warm smile familiar at the head table in the dining room, at informal gatherings in the Evergreens, and at most of the receptions and dances. Almost as famous as his cigarette holder was his amazing ability to call students by name; he was never too preoccupied to greet them in the halls.
