FINLA G. CRAWFORD, Vice-Chancellor The educational blueprint of Syracuse University follows the pattern established since the inauguration of Chancellor Tolley in 1942. Greater attention will be given the su- perior student, while at the same time we will give special help to those having aca- demic difficulties. The Psychological Service Center, the Evaluation Service, the Speech Clinic were established to build better under- standing of student ' s needs to do a more effective educational job. Educationally, Syracuse looks forward and will not be tied down by the pattern of the past. Improvements in instruction, higher standards, and a more eflFective faculty- student relationship are the major items in the blueprint of the future. 16

J ' S«;;i, TRUSTEES The Board of Trustees of Syracuse University, consisting of alumni, members-at-large, honorary members and one ex-officio member — Chancellor Tolley, has as its responsibility consideration of all problems afFecting university policy and of all quali- fications of candidates for degrees. An executive committee of eight members, of which H. W. Smith is chairman, meets once a month to take up immediate issues and procedures, while the regular board meets twice a year,- once in No- vember and again during Spring Commencement week. The five honorary members of the Board in- clude the mayor of Syracuse, the governor and commissioner of education in New York State, the Methodist bishop of the Syracuse area and the president of the Alumni Association. ALUMNI Celebrating its Seventy-Fifth anniversary this year the Syracuse Alumni Association aims toward closer ties between the alumns and other parts of the university. The Alumni House, 940 S. Crouse Ave., is head- quarters for the association and for J. Winifred Hughes, executive secretary and editor of the Alumni News. The Alumni House becomes the social gathering place when grads descend on Syracuse for get- togethers such as class reunions, the Kum Back show, the Alumni Ball and the annual Alumni Association meeting. A master file has been kept on date on 38,000 former university students. In addition, an occupa- tional file is being started to aid students in analyz- ing vocational opportunities. VARSITY Founded in 1933 to promote and continue interest in university sports, the Varsity Club has over fifteen thousand members — wearers of the Varsity S. Friendly May Crandon, executive secretary of the club since its inception, keeps tabs on the widely- scattered athletes and edits the club news as well. This year proved one of the club ' s busiest with the gymnasium fire necessitating a complete removal from the Trophy Room to 801 University Ave. The Block S dinner was revived at the Hotel Syracuse, and Colgate weekend brought an exceptionally large reunion with many ex-servicemen returning to talk of old times. 17 l
