He serves those who learn that they may serve mankind For ten years, John C. Baker has been president of Ohio University. During that time and due to his efforts, the University has risen in prominence, the campus has expanded, the enrollment has increased and more scholarships are available for the students in need. Fifteen new buildings have been added to the campus as a result of the extensive building program which he has promoted during his admini- stration. Yet, he finds time to become acquainted with students and faculty alike. Occasionally, you will find him taking his usual evening walk and he will stop at a dormitory or at the Center to talk with students. He has contributed to learning in more ways than one. Last summer, he was a delegate to the UNESCO conference in Switzerland. Apart from this, he takes active part in many phases of higher learning. But close to his heart is Ohio University and its purpose in equipping the citizens of tomorrow. What interests me most, he said, are the students and the people who support this University and continually work for its betterment.
