Between tlie frivolity of youth and the staidness of aijc, we find tiiat de- lightful creature who is oui ' college president. He conies in a brown suit, brown tie, equipped with horn rimmed glasses and an infectuous grin. He is only one, but he seems to be every- where at once doing all he can to see that we enjoy and profit from every second of every minute of every hour of every day. He hesitates to punish where he can correct, anticipates the males on forthcoming weekends, listens s -mpathetically to our tales of woe and exemplifies for us sensible opti- mism. He is found almost anywhere on campus - in his office, in the catacombs, at Stee Ciee meetings, in the Bciok Store, balancing a cup on his knee at coffees, shaking hands at dances, quot- ing Robert ' s Rules of Order in chapel, sliding into second on the Softball field, chatting with students on the back campus benches, playing football with Stevie in his front yard, and playing Sherlock Holmes in Bitting. Stray dogs love him, the Board of Trustees appreciate him, other men envy him, the students glorify him, the alumnae pester him, and Mrs. Gramley protects him — from us. Our president is Sincerity with a twinkle in its eye. Dignity adulterated only by argyle socks, Wisdom with a bald spot on its head and Hope for the future of three hundred girls. Our college president is a composite — he has the energy of a cheerleader, the interest of a dean, the confidence of a freshman, the handshake of a friend, the gallantry of a Lancelot, the endurance of a prize fighter, and the tact of a diplomat. He likes the new science building, Camels, the food in the dining hail, the Salemite, informal get-togethers with students, his job, civic music programs, faculty discussions, the bas- ketball tournament, informal clothes and holidays. He is not much for tu.x, laziness, out-dated social regulations, rheumatism, rainy weather, alumnae meetings, and long faces. Nobody else looks quite so distin- guished and yet has so spontaneous a laugh or reply. Nobody else gets so much fun out of campus antics and is so quick to perceive students ' under- lying seriousness. Nobody else can cram into one desk drawer thirty-seven letters, three half-written speeches, innumerable rubber bands and paper clips, a memorandum pad, a news- paper, and an F.scjuire calender. Our president is down-to-earth. We find him everywhere, but most of all in our hearts. When we pass him on the campus or meet him in the square, although we may be weighted down with an armload of books and the memories of last night ' s blind date, he can mend our broken spirits with a tip of his hat and a contagious smile. 11
