PRESIDENT Robert E. Craig Pr e s ident Craig and the f iv e other admini- strators are the ones who direct the affairs of the college under the policies set by the trustees. Everything from constructing a half million dollar dormitory to mimeographing atest comes under some administrative department. Students come to know the administrators through the work of the five departments. Each admini- strator is the personification of that phase of Southwest Baptist College. The Chief Administrator is President Robert E. Craig. He can be thought of as Mr. Southwest Baptist College, for every phase of the college is a reflection of his planning and leadership. He is charged with the efficient operation of the college in all its divisions and departments, and although much of the work is delegated to others, he is ultimately responsible for every aspect of the college. This incarnation of Southwest Baptist College is a soft-spoken Christian gentleman. His edu- cation and experience in college administration have uniquely prepared him to guide Southwest Baptist College through this transition period. Part of his administrative sucncess lies in his ability to work successfully withthe five men in charge of the five administrative divisions of the college. Business Manager Kenneth Edmondson is Mr. College when it comes to financial matters. Most students think of him as the man to whom they pay their tuition, but there is the other side of the ledger, too. He and his workers pay the t e ac h e r s' salaries, purchase school sup- plies, maintain the buildings and grounds, pro- vide student services, employ student workers and, in short, keep the physical campus oper- ating. Director of Student Affairs Milton Webb is Mr. College in the non-academic student program. Whatever students do outside of class is con- sidered the business of Dr. Webb.

He supervises the work of each teacher, plans course offerings, assigns faculty teaching loads, encourages academic progress in all areas, and does a hundred other things to insure the highest possible level of academic instruction. With his faculty of 36 teachers, he is Mr. College in the classrooms. Students come to know Dean as that man with the dry humor and keen insight who checks their class schedule each semester, and always has time to discuss with them an important problem. Director of Admissions Boyd Eversole is Mr. College for the new student enrolling at Southwest. He councils with prospective students, assists them in enrolling, and main- tains a complete record on each student while he is at Southwest. His office is the depository for all grades, and through his office comes the approval for graduation or transfer to an- other college. Director of Public Relations Don Baker is Mr. College to the general public. His news stories about the school go out to newspapers, radio and TV stations by the hundreds. Throughout the year, he is busy traveling the state rep- resenting the college in churches, association meetings, high schools,andwhereverthere is a sympathetic ear. Many who have never seen Bolivar know the college well -because they know Mr. Baker. When students graduate and once again become part of the general public, their main contact with Southwest will be through Mr. Baker and the Alumni Association. DEAN Orien B.
