00' Q96 we-PNP bk E 03' A NEW PRESIDENT. . . Dr. Frank Eversull aysumey head of college. . . Dr. Frank L. Eversull assumed the Presidency of the North Dakota College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts, as it is officially termed, late in the summer of 1938. In 1937 had come the purge , in 1938 the removal of the school from the accredited list of American Colleges and Universities. Enmeshed in a political web disintegration of the college seemed inevitable. With the announcement that Dr. Eversull was to be the new head of the college, hope and enthusiasm returned to the student body, faculty and alumni. Our President has a personality that is aloof enough to give him the dignity of a man in his position and yet friendly enough that he has come to know the students and faculty members as personalities and not merely as units of an institution. He has a liberal and well rounded education, and knowledge and experience for holding the position of President, having received a Ph.D in Education from Yale University, a D.D. from Marietta college in Ohio, and having been head of the Huron State College in South Dakota for some four years.
