ASSISTANT TO THE PRESIDENT In performing the varied duties of his posi- tion, Mahlon A. Miller has proven himself to be a versatile and efficient administrator. As Director of Religious Life on campus, he sponsors the Union College Christian Associa- tion, and has been responsible for improv- ing the quality of Union ' s Religious Week programs. Much credit is due Mr. Miller, who also directs the student workship program, for his establishment of six Senior Assistantships, which give students part-time teaching re- sponsibilities. In addition to his administrative duties, Mr. Miller also teaches some courses in the Division of Religion and Philosophy. DEAN OF THE FACULTY While serving in this capacity at Union, Dr. John H. Boyd (A.B., MA, Ed.D.) has won the friendship and respect of the students and faculty. With an outstanding record of service for the cause of education in Ken- tucky, Dr. Boyd was instrumental in initiating the Minimum Foundation Program for the State of Kentucky during his. term as Presi- dent of the Kentucky Education Association. Dr. Boyd has played a major role in the steady improvement of the quality of Union ' s curriculum, and was responsible for guiding the faculty in a self-study program this past year that made possible the renewal of our teacher training accreditation. 20

Under the direction of an additional full-time faculty member, a new supervised teaching program has been established. Under this arrangement, a student spends ten weeks in full-day classroom instruc- tion away from the campus, a real apprenticeship in teaching, with op- portunity for group evaluation on his return. 22
