President Harvill takes a moment from his work to chat with a Desert interviewer. Dr. Richard A. Harvill has, for the past thirteen years, been president of the University of Arizona. His presidency was announced on July 1, 1951, after he had served in three different capacities at the University. In 1934 he came to the University as an associate professor of economics. He taught until he became Dean of the Graduate College in the year 1946. The next year he was named Dean of the Liberal Arts College, a position he held until 1951. Dr. Harvill was born in Centerville, Tennessee, and received his education at Mis- sissippi State College, Duke University, Chicago University and Northwestern University. He is a member of the Chamber of Commerce, Kiwanis Club, Executives ' Club, Institute of International Education, and The Council of Presidents of the American Association of Land-Grant Colleges and State Uni- versities. Dr. Harvill is also a member of the Board of Regents. This year at the Homecoming game, Dr. Harvill presented the newly designed flag of the University. In a way this flag rep- resented his love and pride for the University. For when he first came here in 1934 he ... knew all of the faculty, and also most of the students, but it was much smaller then. I wish that I could meet more of the students now. President Harvill greets one of the for- eign students that attend the University. 21 From the balcony of the Administration building, President Harvill obtains a view of the campus.
