ROBERT GORDON SPROUL PRESIDENT OF THE UNIVERSITY Youthful, vigorous, appealing, Dr. Robert Gordon Sproul, President of the University of California with its various divisions, makes a few trips to us every year, speaks powerfully to us, makes hosts of new friends, and goes back to his work at Berkeley. The President has always been enthusiastic about the development of the University of California at Los Angeles. The second youngest col- lege president in the United States, Dr. Sproul is equipped with the personality and background to make this great University a coordinated progressive factor in guiding the youth of our state. Our regret is that he can ' t be with us more often. 20

ERNEST CARROLL MOORE PROVOST OF UNIVERSITY Dr. Ernest Carroll Moore, the Vice-President and Provost of the University, has done more than any one man, in the pursuance of his glorious dream—to make the University of California at Los Angeles the great institution it is today. Unselfish perseverance toward an ideal from 1919 to an undiminished present has brought us what we have here now, and promises a future yet greater. We students, who pass Dr. Moore absorbed in thought on the campus, too often do not realize our debt to him, do not appreci- ate the force of the vision that grew through him to become our magnificent University. Dr. Moore ' s long and intimate association with education has borne admir- able fruit. 21
