A Aw' , THROUGH THE ENSPIRING GUIDANCE OF ITS NEW' LEADER, ARTHUR S. FLEMMINC I7

Page 22 text:

Who's Who, biographies, newspapers and other books of information will tell you about the work Dr. Flemming has done, but few of the books reveal a true picture of the president of Ohio Wesleyan. It is hard to capture a picture of the gracious, comfortable home which he and Mrs. Flemming have established in Delaware. It is hard to catch the five Flemming children as they Hood out of the house in the morning on their way to school. Family parties and games, too, make up a part of the life of the president. Newsmen don't sit in his Sunday School Class, and the books rarely capture the active interest Dr. Flemming holds for the local church and community programs. Sincere interest and personal contacts with the students on campus and in conferences are rarely recorded. All of these things, and many more, are molded to make up-not any president-but the pres- ident of Ohio Wesleyan University.
