TY . ,-. .amp Plllllllll'S llllllll lSllllllllItS EXECUTIVES LEAD PURDUE THROUGH WAR PERIOD To sympathize, perhaps to supervise, certainly, are daily duties of Deans Coolidge and Goldsmith, aided by assistant Deans McFarland and Wilkening respec- tively. Long assistant to Dorothy Stratton, now on leave to serve as lieutenant commander of the SPARS, acting Dean Coolidge has proved her ability in student management. Majoring in student personnel, her college training has proven valuable in coordinating student and faculty outlook. Working with her ca- pable assistant, Miss McFarland, Dean Coolidge is a real credit to Purdue. Dean Goldsmith, respected by all those who have known him, chairman and advisor on the University Draft Committee, is responsible for untangling many a confused student's affairs. Professor Wilkening, athletic coach and Dean Goldsmith'S right hand man, helps the Dean assume one of Purdue's most respon- sible jobs. 7 'U

llllllllll lll DIRECTS PURDUE'S COURSE IN WAR TIME Possibly the greatest reward ever awarded any alum- nus for loyalty and devotion to the Alma Mater, is the honor of being appointed a trustee of Purdue University. Although six of the nine members of the board are selected by the governor, the remaining three are chosen from the large group of alumni. The most important single body in the University, the Board of Trustees governs all decisive action, and determines the course of Purdue. Helping Purdue during wartime, the board, through the broad scope of their combined experience, has originated many economy measures to aid national defense. For the past fifteen years the Board of Trustees has David E Ross President of the Board of Trustees had as its president Purdue's greatest benefactor and beloved alumnus, David Ross. Recently, Mr, Ross has been unable to fill the post he has held and admin- istered so capably for many years, as he is recovering from a serious illness which has made his efficient and respected presence missed by his companions on the board. tu,-1 I l Af i i , J l.vt.l i l i 1 1 ,v I A l .i ril.,,,. r l it,I,I nh lI,l..

Key man in the financial scheme of the University is Controller R. B. Stewart. Sponsor and administra- tor to the Purdue Memorial Union, champion of the Student Housing Project, he could easily compete for title of The University's Busiest Man . W. A. Bodden, Chief Accountant, and assistant to the Controller, handles the seven or eight odd mil- lions passing annually through the school. Accurate- ly checking every detail, and handling all grants and endowments ceded to the university, his efficiently executed job is vital to Purdue. Wading through miles of vari-colored stubs and reg- istration cards, R, B. Stone may be found in his office at all hours, figuring out who cut -or failed - and, why! Despite demands on good nature, Mr. Stone remains patient and broad-minded after twenty-four years of service. - .. s illi 1 . K , V FI X l I r' 5 , .I W ? M V Q K C' . gk ug' P' T.
