President Born in Cincinnati, Ohio, April 19, 1892, Dr. Frank L. Eversull completed his elementary and high school work in East St. Louis, Illinois. After attending James Millikin University one year, he transferred to the University of Chicago where he received his bachelor's in phil- osophy and English and his mas- ter's degree in education. Dr. Eversull also attended McCor- mick seminary, and on May 17, 1917, he was ordained as a Pres- byterian pastor. After serving as a pastor and a school administrator during his early professional career, he went to Yale University as an instructor. At Yale he finished his work in the department of education and received the doc- tor of philosophy degree. Later he was given an honorary doctor of divinity degree from Marietta College. On receiving the doctorate, he became president of Huron Col- lege. In 1938, just after NDAC had undergone the greatest po- litical storm in its history, he was brought here to bring order out of the confusion. ' 'LA Dorothy Youel, secretary to the president. NDAC'S Presiclent At Home If you happen to see a blueberry pie labeled Baked by Dr. Frank L. Eversull at your county fair this summer, don't be surprised. Our president's versatilities include a goodly knowledge of the culinary art. At no other time during the year do his idiosyn- crasies show up like during Lent. Each year during the holy period of abstinence he gives up rutabagas and watermelons. and grows a moustache. Biggest reason for the moustache is the pleasure he derives from seeing the surprised looks on people's faces when he comes to church on Easter Morning without it. Dr. Eversull's weaknesses are reading and auto- mobiling. He seldom exceeds the speed limits but often flies too low. Though he once got a heinie haircut to pay off a bet with the basketball team on a conference championship win, the Dr. abhors a bar- ber's chair. In the art of public speaking, NDAC,s president is a master. His avid interest in reading makes him both an interesting and inspirational speaker along many lines. Vt I. if

Careful consideration is a characteristic of the Moses way of doing business. He hates to be rushed into anything himself, and is willing to give the other person an equal opportunity for thought, His persistency is shown by his history showing the progress of an immigrant boy who rose from the rank of a railway section hand to that of the state's third Democratic governor. Receiving his early education, including junior college in Oslo, Norway, the governor came to the United States at the age of 20, seeking to complete his education and to Governor John Moses make use of the opportunities this country afforded. He first came to North Dakota in 1911 as secretary of the Valley City State Teachers College. Later he entered the University of North Dakota where he received a B.A. degree in 1914. Determined to make law his life's work, Moses continued to attend the University and in 1915 was graduated with the degree of Juris Doctor. Our Governor worked his way through school by keeping books in a hotel. Campus activities in which he participated include, track team manager, member of the athletic board of control, manager of the Dakota Student, a member of Sigma Nu social fraternity and a member of Phi Alpha Delta, honorary legal group.

TO Dean C. A. Sevrinson, Char- lie to most, falls the responsi- bility of seeing that Elmer does not go astray once released from the guiding influence of home and par- ents. An expert at taking the edge off of gay young blades, the Dean does it in a manner that usually establishes him with the culprit as a friend as well as a counselor. Avidly interested in current events, world geography and public speak- ing, Dean Sevrinson is a graduate of the University of North Dakota and liked Up-State Normal well enough to go back and get his M.S. degree in 1930. A GRADUATE of the University of Wisconsin with a master's degree from Columbia University, Dean Pearl Dinan, dean of women, has watched women's organizations grow from the outset. She first came to the campus as a theme reader in the English department and teacher in the college high school. Later she was promoted to the principalship of the high school. From there she advanced up the ladder to an instructor in the Eng- lish department, to an associate pro- fessorship, and, finally, to her pres- ent position in 1926. Music and good snappy bridge sessions are her particular desires when it comes to relaxation. OST trusted man on the cam- Mpus is R C Reinhart colle e ,. . . , g secretary-treasurer, to whom is en- trusted the care of all funds neces- sary to keep a 52,000,000 plant with a payroll of 450 persons running. Latest of his many headaches is how to keep the school running with the same overhead and a de- creased income due to an enroll- ment cut by the war effort. He also finds time to putter with his flower garden, do a little wood- working and twitter with a flute. Before accepting his position here, Reinhart was auditor for the state board of higher education. XXI ITH bachelor's and master's degrees from the University of Kansas, A. H. Parrott is the busiest man on the campus at the begin- ning and the end of each term, He is in charge of registration as col- lege registrar, and at the end of the term he and his staff are the per- sons who copy down grades and send the bad news home to the folks. The possessor of a Phi Beta Kappa key, he organized the Amer- ican Association of Collegiate Reg- istrars in 1910. -. .2 Q .N L -.5 ..x . -'xt Dean C. A. Sevrinson R. C.
