JAMES WILLIAM FULBRIGHT — THE PRESIDENT From the first grade of the training school to the presidency of the University, all in less than 30 years—that is the record of James William Fulbright, youthful and dynamic president of the University of Arkansas. After receiving his A. B. degree from the University in 1925, President Fulbright attend¬ ed Oxford University as a Rhodes scholar, taking his master ' s degree there in 1931. His LLB., degree is from George Washington Uni¬ versity, 1934. Mr. Fulbright was admitted to the bar of the court of appeals and the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia. He served for a time with the anti-trust division of the United States Department of Justice. In 1935 he re¬ turned to George Washington University to teach law. In 1937, President Ful¬ bright came back to the University of Arkansas as an instructor in law. He was named president of the University last fall, be¬ coming, at the age of 34, the youngest head of a state university in the United States. Concern¬ ing his youth, Today ' s Young Men, a recent volume of biographies of 70 successful men who are still in their twenties and thirties says: Intelli¬ gence and excellent judg¬ ment, plus the practical experience he has had, qualify him for his impor¬ tant position, age having nothing to do with it. While a student at the University of Arkansas, Bill (as he prefers to be known) Fulbright was an outstanding football player. His senior year he was president of associated students. Although he is very fond of golf, Mr. Fulbright regrets that he has not had an opportunity to play for three years. He likes farming and garden¬ ing; in fact, he lives on a farm north of the city. He is especially proud of his small herd of whiteface cattle. Because he is extremely active in all student affairs and activities, and because he is constantly working toward further improvement and growth of the University of Arkansas, President Fulbright has made him¬ self very popular with the University student body. 14

CARL BAILEY - THE GOVERNOR In addition to crowning the homecoming queen every year, the Governor, Carl E. Bailey, has carried on behind the scenes for the University in a manner that is best judged by the results he has achieved. Probably the toughest problem for the Governor this year was the appointment of a new Presi¬ dent for the University, and how well he made his choice is pretty well known on the campus (see opposite page). Probably the most amusing incident of Uni¬ versity administration this year was the conference with certain members of the student body on the now- dead cafeteria question, in which an agreement was reached satisfying all con¬ cerned. Other appointments at the University during the past year include Dean Hosford of the Arts and Sciences College, and Dean Horlacher of the College of Agricul¬ ture. On the Board of Trustees, Mrs. J. C. Futrall was appointed to suc¬ ceed Hal Douglas. Then there are all those other things that come up from time to time, like the Med School question, which was settled favor¬ ably, the retirement of the faculty, and the matter of appropriations from the Legislature to continue the growth and expansion of the Uni¬ versity. Routine duties of the Governor in¬ clude regular meetings with the Board, one of which is held on the campus each year at homecoming during which the Governor gets an on-the-spot view of the school and how well it is doing. On the side not so serious, he takes off and comes up to see all the football games at the University, and the students go down to see him at the annual Little Rock rain game. The next official duty for Gov¬ ernor Bailey at the University will be the handing out of the diplomas down in the Greek Ampitheater within the next three weeks (if this book comes out in August, disregard the last statement). All of the above, coupled with four new buildings, a stadium, and in¬ creased enrollment, may just be summed up in saying that the Uni¬ versity is fortunate in having Carl E. Bailey taking care of the other end down in Little Rock. 15
