lHl I1HlSIIllNI r. oliuingdfon .uoudfon A well-run institution of learning, similar to an efficient business concern, must, of necessity, be guided by a conscientious, smooth-functioning ad- ministrative staff. The chief coordinator's job here at the Institute is vested in the capable hands of President Livingston W. Houston. President Houston has demonstrated in his extensive and successful tenure of office that engineers do make good admin- istrators. His background of experience coupled with his great pride in the Schoolhave been motivating powers in President I-Iouston's efforts to maintain Page fourteen R.P.I.'s excellent reputation in the engineering world. Keeping a school on top is by no means an easy job. President Houston is a staunch believer in the ability of the students to govern themselves. He has worked in close cooperation with the Student Council in an effort to bring about a better under- standing between the students, faculty, and trustees of the Institute. He is also the main link between the students and the alumni. One thing is certain: President Houston has a 24-hour-a-day job. Large responsibilities call for big men.
