0 Relaxing in the sunlight of Anderson Hal1's popular niche, two Staters form this silhouette. During the war American colleges, particularly smaller ones, suffered acutely, as they were drained of students and faculty by the armed forces. College campuses, reputed for verve and color, drifted into a dull slumber. Lectures were attended predominantly by women more often concerned with the welfare of a far-away GI than with the subiect at hand. lnertia reigned for four years. Then with war's end and the return of veterans, American colleges stirred to life again. Ex-servicemen hastened back to their schools to continue the education they had forfeited to combat a world crisis. And as they were welcomed back it became clear that the glorified pre-war college would live again. l fgljgr. A Herein, we have tried to portray this reiuvenation at one American college - San - .A . isco State. I .1655 Q -Ev-E gjlk., 'bu i naqfil i1' f i'I5'3'Ei.Fii:i :,:2'.!f ik..

HEHIEATIU ast fall Dr. J. Paul Leonard left his professorship at Stanford University to assume the presidency of San Francisco State College, a position left vacant by the retirement of Dr. Alexander C. Roberts. We students wondered what kind of a man our new president was. At the Freshman Assembly in September our questions were answered. Q Dr. Roberts greets Dr. Leonard. Page 6 As he stepped up to the rostrum, a hush fell over the assembly. Then a pleasant Voice broke the stillness: Fellow freshmen-I am a fresh- man here, too .... With these words the new president captured the hearts of the students. A scholar of reputation, an administrator of undoubted abilities-these things we already knew. But as we listened to his talk we were cheered to know that he was a man who could see things as we saw them. His actions have given support to our estimation of him. For his achievements since as- cending the presidential chair, and for his human understand- ing, we respectfully dedicate this book to President Leonard. g Dr. Leonard before student assembly. Q Dr. and Mrs. Leonard meet students.
