Vice President Herman M. Shipps, loyal servant of Ohio Wesleyan for thirty-eight years. DONALD J. HORNBERGER Many students never come in contact with this ardent Ohio Wesleyan football fan, who, for twenty-six years, has been Treasurer of the University and, for eleven years, a Vice President. Donald J. Hornberger, a graduate of the University of Michigan, Ohio State University, and the University of Illinois is the man responsible for all financial matters concerning Ohio Wesleyan. ln his own typically humble way Mr. Hornberger calls himself: Jack of all trades and master of none. We hesitate to agree that he is master of none because he not only performs the tasks necessary for the business side of the University, but also supervises the policy-making of the financial department. His duties include working with the comptroller, the cashier, the director of buildings and grounds, and the purchasing agent. HERMAN M. SHIPPS Herman M. Shipps has demonstrated the devotion and loyalty to Ohio Wesleyan that have characterized her outstanding servants. During this past year Mr. Shipps expected to realize his long contemplated plans for re- tirement, but, upon the request of Dr. Flemming, he continued as Vice President and canceled his previous plans. Mr. Shipps, who has served Ohio Wesleyan since 1921, is public relations adviser to the president. He supervises the long range planning connected with fund development, alumni and public relations, news and information, and admissions. Vice President Shipps, a former YMCA worker, began his work with his alma mater as Alumni Secretary and has been Executive Secretary, Director of New Student Personnel, Director of University Relations, and since 1950 has been a Vice President of the University. After Mr. Shipps' retirement, he will always be remembered by his alma mater as one who was instrumental in helping to develop the highly efficient administrative organization that has characterized the University. Donald J. Hornberger, Vice President and Treasurer of the University, responsible for the University's financial policies.
