Dr. J. L. Zwingle President Zwingle came to Park in June, 1947. Coming to Park in a time of crisis such as most col¬ leges are facing in the post-war world, Dr. Zwingle faced the tremendous task of building a college pro¬ gram to ht the needs of an increased enrollment. As president. Dr. Zwingle has been a busy man. In addition to sincere efforts at increasing participa¬ tion of students and faculty alike in college affairs, he has made many trips to visit the various alumni organizations throughout the country, stimulating their interest and keeping them informed on the affairs of the college. Dr. E. M. Fleming The role of Dean of the College is never an easy one. Dean Fleming al¬ though new to the job, has demon¬ strated his ability to cope with the problems which come his way. Con¬ ferences with students, guidance of the academic program of the college, and teaching some history courses delayed the working out of some of the lesser routine matter, but the Dean’s office is moving toward a smoother efficiency. Mr. James H. Griswold As Business Manager, Mr. Gris¬ wold holds the unenviable position of managing the affairs of a college beset by the rising cost of living in every field. In spite of the difficulties of his post Mr. Griswold finds time for bull sessions with anyone who cares to see him, and has shown him¬ self always ready to help solve prob¬ lems which may arise in any area. 9
