ADM! I 'l'ltA'l'0lt I Stanford is fortunate in having its administrative positions filled with the capable and efficient personnel pictured below. The guidance, regard- ing both college life and after-college careers, that they have to give has been invaluable. This advice and aid has won for them the respect and gratitude of all Stanford students. Many of the problems that face Stanford's 7000 students have been met and overcome by H. Donald Win- bigler, the Dean of Students for the past three years. The ever-popular Chief Counselors, Elva Fay Brown and Richard Balch, have continued to show the interest, the sympathetic understand- ing and the all-important sense of humor to their respective students. All are working diligently to solve the many problems of a great educa- tional institution and each of them has a genuine interest in the welfare of every member of the Stanford Family. The traditional friendly rela- tionship between the members of the student body and the administration was maintained as in previous years. Stanford has always empha- sized high scholastic achievement without sacri- ficing the close friendship and respect between Stanford students and administrators. This basic precept of the Stanford Family tradition has not diminished, but rather has found greater mean- ing and expression in the past half century. Stan- ford's present administrators are doing a fine job of fostering this tradition. DUNCAN I McFADDEN ALF E. BHANDIN' DAVID IACOBSON Controller Business Manager General Secretary

Pltlllttl 'll Dr. Douglas M. Whitaker, Provost, sits at the President's right as second-in-command of the University. A one- time teaching assistant in Zoology at Stanford who rose rapidly through the professorial ranks, his responsibili- ties are largely in the academic area. He also acts for Dr. Sterling when the President is absent from the cam- pus. Dr. Whitaker was born on the Stanford campus, the son of Emeritus Professor and Mrs. Albert C. Whitaker. He received his A.B. here in l926.l During the next two years, though he spent part of his time in graduate work at Columbia and as a research associate at a Carnegie laboratory, he earned his Stanford Ph.D. l-le held three deanships before his appointment as Provost in 1952. lttlttltll 0F 'l'ltU TEE The welfare of Stanford is continually guarded by the capable and wise individuals who form the Board of Trustees. Under the careful guidance of these people another active year was spent attempting to keep pace with the great growth of the University. The Trustees have continued to carry forward their interest in the development of university lands and the proposed plan for a shopping center. The tentative plans for the new Tressider Student Union and several new dormitories have been completed and are now being approved, for future construction. We hope that next year's President of the Board will fulfill and perform his duties as capably as Paul C. Edwards has filled the position in the past. FRONT ROW, left to right: Ira S. Lillick.
