UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT OF THE STUDENT BODY MILTON C. WEILER President MILTON CHRISTIAN WEILER has had a career that has been consistent in progress from high school and the underclasses to the highest honor which can be bestowed upon an undergraduate,- the presidency of the student body. Weiler was born in Buffalo, New York, on February 28, 1910, and is still resident in that city. At Buffalo Tech- nical High School, he participated in a variety of activi- ties, including the school orchestra, Tech Club, Debate Club, publications, and football. He was captain of hockey and tennis in his senior year. He was also class historian, Color Guard, and Tech Studio president. All of his teachers gave him the highest possible mark in each of 17 character elements. Showing an interest in art while in high school, Weiler matriculated in the College of Fine Arts in September, 1928. He has majored in Illustration. His work on the freshman crew and the football team earned him Devil ' s Own trophy for the best all-around freshman, and the James A. TenEyck award for the most valuable crewman. Sophomore president of his class, Weiler was elected to Corpse and Coffin, of which he has been vice- president. As a junior, he was a representative to the Athletic Governing Board, won the Monx Head trophy for the best all-around junior, and the Leavenworth annual $100 prize for the junior doing outstanding work in Illustration. As a senior, Weiler belongs to Phi Kappa Phi, Phi Kappa Alpha, and, as president of the student body, to the Athletic Administrative Board, successor to the Governing Board; the students ' president is the only undergraduate to be a Board-member. He is a member of Psi Upsilon, and is varsity stroke. His continuous service to the university and his demonstrated ability as an executive peculiarly fit Weiler for the position of president of the student body, an honor given him by his fellow students as an expression of the admiration and respect in which he is held. 28

The Senate supervises class elections, class social functions, and men ' s rushing; it makes recom- mendations to the Student Court concerning punishment of violators of Senate laws.
