President Nasan Scholar, author, educator, humanitarian, business man; these are just a few of the attributes which qualify President Nason for the unenviable job of guiding Swarthmore College through these years of inflation, increased enrollment, and gigantic fund-raising campaigns. Dr. Mason ' s tall figure and bulging brief case are familiar sights to Swarthmore students, hlis office on second west is a clearing house for all tangled problems that have run the gauntlet of the lower echelons and have finally reached his desk through channels. This is not to say, however, that students with problems are not welcome to the inner sanctum. Although his day is usually filled with answering correspondence, attending luncheons, dinners, teas, and various and sundry other meetings, Prexy can always find time to listen to a deserving gripe from a student or faculty member. Many a student, having his morn- ing coffee or afternoon snack In Commons, has been surprised to find himself In a conversation with Dr. Nason about subjects ranging from Leib- niz to the beautiful sunrises to be seen In this area. A graduate of Carleton College, Minnesota, President Nason was awarded a Rhodes Scholar- ship from Minnesota. He received his B. A. from Oriel College, Oxford. He earned his M.A. at Harvard. Honors conferred upon him were degrees of LL.D. from Carleton and the University of Penn- sylvania, and LItt. D. from Muhlenberg, Hahnemann Medical College and Hospital of Philadelphia. He also attended Yale Divinity School for one year. One of his most prized honors was being elected a Fellow of the National Council on Religion in Higher Education. He was President of the Board of Directors of that body from 1943-1949. Mr. Nason has written numerous articles on various aspects of education and religion; at present he is engaged In writing a book on the eighteenth century philosopher Llebniz. The varied talents and wide experience possessed by Dr. Nason, his quick grasp of the problems of the college community, whether business or personal, are seen in his successful administration of Swarth- more College.
