The purpose to help holh, lo a i l iheir uork :iml velf;ire. is l iisir in all that the adiiiini- ' li ' alioii umleitake-. Adiiiinislratidii in itself has validil) only as the leaiher are aided and en- eonraped and supported to realize their ideals in teai ' hing, in researeh. and in puhlie service. And only a. these undi-rlakinsis are aceoinplished ran the I iii- versity do for the tuilents what they, and the people of ( )hio. ha e a ri};ht to expeel. So it is that we are all dependent upon each other, partners in a lonimoii enterprise the students, the leaehers and the administration. In the nature of our differiiig dutie and activities, it comes regretahly aliout that the administration has a ll too little associa- tion and acquaintance with memhers of the student hody. This is a handicap to the administrators and a disappointment herause the students, to use a common phrase, are what the University is all ahout. They are therefore the source and wellspring of our work. We are grateful for this opportunity to tell them so — through the Makio of 1935 and to give them our greetings and good wishes. J. Lewis Morrill, f ice-President. .1. LE ik IS MORRILL I ice-President T N ORDER to carry on the business of operating a state university the administrative depart- ment toils daily and nightly. It is that branch of the university system which sees to it that you students receive your grades before New Year ' s Eve. that you are not allowed to fall below a certain minimum of proficiency in your class work, that vou follow a schedule agreeable both to you and to the rules of the university, and that you receive your parchment at the end of the four-vear trek. All this is done to assure vou and the state which makes your education possible the fairest and most efficient method of dealing with your particular educational needs and desires. The admin- istrative department partakes of perhaps the least personal contact with the student, vet it assists him in every phase of bis college career. From the tim;- vou s;»nt vour higii school credits to the Office of the University Examiner, made out your first schedule card, and waited in line out- side the Bursar ' s office, until that day you don your vestments and walk toward the Stadium, the seven aihiiiiiislrative offices and the officials of your college have watched you covertly, have guarded you. unknowing, have passed you on the campus without ever receiving a word of tiianks. That is why the Makio of 1935 devotes these following few pag?s to an Administration Section, and hopes that through this medium the student body will become more intimately acquainted with the endeavors and purposes of the various adininisfrative offices. 25
