The President of Park College has a tremendous job and with that a tremendous responsibility. It is his chief duty to act as a ’’go-between for the Board of Trustees and the college as a whole. He presents to the Board the requests and wishes of the staff and student body, and in return, carries out the decisions of the Board in these matters. This is the second year Park has been without a full president. Until one could be found, the duties of the office were assumed by Mr. H. Milton Mohler. The college owes Mr. Mohler a debt of gratitude in the sacrifice he has made to fill this vital part. At the right, President Mohler re¬ ceives a contribution from Mr. T. L. Paulson of the Folger Coffee Com¬ pany, with Mr. Edwards looking on. Mrs. Hasel R. Bellamy, Secretary to the President H. Milton Mohler, Acting President of Park College

Taking the whole burden of the administration of Park College is the Board of Trustees. This is the group most directly concerned and responsible for the way in which Park is governed. And it is the group in whose hands Park ' s future rests. The Board of Trustees, chaired by Mr. Elmer H. Norrington, have had as their most difficult task that of finding a new president. This was achieved this spring with the announcement that Dr, Donald Mackenzie would fill that position. The Board is made up of men of various pro¬ fessions, and includes a great number of Parkites. These men hold high positions in fields of industry, medicine, theology, and business. Elmer H. Norrington, President of the Board

The Dean of the College is the administrative link to the student body. Through his office stream numerous requests, complaints, and prob¬ lems. When he dons the Dean’s Hat, he assumes the responsibility of overseeing the student body and of assisting the faculty. He meets with both student and faculty committees to try to set up the best possible curriculum and calendar, and to solve whatever problems or issues that arise. Acting as Dean of the College is Dr. John M. Hamilton, professor of biology. He and Mrs. Hamilton are much involved in all facets of Park life. Dr. John M. Hamilton, Acting Dean of the College A Dean ' s life is full of variety-all the way from annoying paper work to riding in parades. 1
