ADMIIISTR William P. Graham c;hancellor (5 From the Chancellor . . . ilXVOXE who examines the file of Year Books in the University Library will be unable to find the Onondagan of the class of 1919. But when this class oraduated we w cre again at peace, try- ing to put together the |)icces of our shattered national life. This task was very difficult. It has never been fully accomplished. liut. we learned something by experience and from all responsible leaders comes the cry, carry on as nearly as possible in normal fashion . Nothing would please our enemies more than lo ihomughh dis- rupt our ways of life and thought. In the days inmicdiaiely following the oiubreak ol i ' ar, there seemed to be some prospeci liiai fifth column activity would sucked. Vc l)ecame jit- terv. We jiunpcd this way and that in feverish desire to do something . Fortunately we now seem to be sobering do ' n and preparing our- selves for the long strong pidl ahead. And, I am sine that in this respect also, the Axis powers will fail. The Onondagan of 1920 is the most interesting of all the series. It contains a long Honor Roll and a very long Service List . But, it tells a ery small part of the story of Syracuse University in the First ' orld War. Perhaps the Onondagan of 1944 ■will lell an even more interesting story. Whate er comes, we know liiat the University will bi- proud of ils record.

ITIVE OFFICERS Flank N. Bi)ant DIRECTOR OF ADMISSIONS Gfoifii- ' aii U)ke IREASHRER CUiailes L. Rapcr VICE CHANCELLOR f ICE-CHANCELLOR Charles Lee Raper, Dean of Business Admin- istration, is the coordinator ot all the deans on the cam|His. If they have a problem relative to the general policy of the inii ersity. the Vice-Chancellor ' s office sees that the difficulties are handled similarly under one set of rules. Dean Raper also takes over the Chancellor ' s duties upon his absence, executes campus parking regidations, and assists Dean Knapp in handling all contacts with draft boards and registered men. The fiuiction of the Admissions Office is to select approximately 1900 freshmen from about three times that number of applications. It is an established policy of Syracuse to give first consideration to the children of graduates. Prospective students are selected for their all-round possibilities with considerable emphasis upon the quality of citizenship which the student has displayed in high school. The office, in c()(jperation with the offices of the various deans, supplies informa- tion concerning students recommended for admittance from 1200 diflerent schools over a three-year term. The Treasurer ' s Office, of which George E. Van Dyke is the head, liandles all of the university ' s pay roll and takes charge of student fees, tuition, and board and room payments. For the benefit of the student, personal checking accounts may be kept there — tapped only when the student himself fills out a special blank.
