WW? UW4 . PRESIDE T GUIDES SCHOOL In guiding Southwestern College through the difficult years of transition from wartime to peace conditions, Dr. Mearl P. Culver has demonstrated his ability as our president for the second year. With a Ph.D. from Yale and graduate work in col- lege administration at the University of Minnesota while district superintendent of the Minneapolis dis- trict, President Culver came to Southwestern in May of 1945 well fitted for the college presidency. Page 22 President Culver is concerned with improving South- western's scholastic standards and accreditation. One point he makes clear is that Southwestern is a liberal arts college devoted to developing integrated Christian citizens. He feels that the best evidence of success in our work here is the kind of persons who go from our college halls to take their places in the world's work as consecrated Christian men and women.
