THE 1940 KANZA There is one man on the campus of Kansas State Teachers College that every one knows and loves; he is not a student, a professor, or the college Casa Nova, but none other than our own President, W. A. Brandenburg, or better known to the students as Prexy. President W. A. Brandenburg is 'known as llPrexy'I because of his geniality, simplicity, and true friendliness to the student. Here is a man that is not thought of as a dignified executor, but as the true friend of every student on the campus, for there is never a prob- lem too great or too small for Prexy to consider. He is the man who wants the college teams to Win so badly that he will ride in Model T Fords up and down Broadway, showing his true spirit and loyalty. His loyalty is not only shown in pep rallies, varsity sports, and other extracurricular activi- ties, but is shown by the vast im- provements that have come to the institution. Largely through his un- tiring efforts for the past twenty- seven years we enjoy the educa- tional advantages we have today. Prexy is not only the tops on our campus, but also in his own field, for this year he was elected president of the American Associa- tion of Teachers Colleges. Cone gratulations to our Prexy. The valuable and efficient serv- ice which the general office ren- ders daily to the college is a most important cog in the machinery of a great institution. This credit goes to Miss Belle Provorse, financial secretary and secretary to the President. Her tireless energy and cooperation has contributed much to the welfare and betterment of the school. 16
