Q I OUR PRESIDENT PRESIDENT HALE Coming to Evansville in 1939 from Carle- ton College, Northfield, Minnesota, where he served as personnel director, Lincoln B. Hale was made dean and registrar of Evansville College. In 1940 he became acting president and was made president in 1941. Dr. Hale received his B.A., M.A., and Ph.D. at Yale University. From 1927-1930 he lived in Salonica, Greece, where he served as assistant director of Thesalonica Agri- cultural and Industrial Institute. He is an ordained minister. In past years President Hale has devoted much of his time to civic activities, but this last year he has been spending practically all of his time on the college's development program. His theme has been Evansville College is on the march, and truly it is. Under his direction the proposed Engineer- ing and Science Building has come into being, and it is hoped the Student Union Building will be under way in the future. Several trips have been taken by the presi- dent and many meetings attended in his effort to bring as much to the college as possible. VVith the close of World War II there was at Hrst a slow stream of veterans entering Evansville College under the G.I. Bill of Rights. This later turned into a flood as more and more men were being discharged. Ap- proximately half of the total enrollment this year was made up of ex G.I.'s. President Hale immediately saw that facilities at the college were inadequate, so he set about to see what could be done. Additional 'instructors were employed, an extra classroom added, and the eating facilities improved. The president suc- ceeded in obtaining several war housing proj- ects from the federal authorities, to aid in the housing shortage for veterans and their fami- lies. The college under his careful direction is moving forward, and will soon be one of the great colleges in Indiana.

BOARD UF TRUSTEES Richard R. McGinnis -- President In the last analysis the trustees are the college. It is they who have final authorityg they constitute the legal entity of Evansville College. Their most important duties include the determination of policies of the college, the selection of the president, and upon the presi- dent's recommendation, the selection of the faculty, as well as provision for financial sup- port of the college. In practice, the president of the college is the point of contact between the college and the trustees. They function very much as do the directors of a business corporation. How- ever, as the name implies, they are trustees- trustces for the thousands of persons who have contributed to the support of Evansville College. It follows that they are men and women of the highest type in whom the pub- lic has complete confidence. OFFICERS Prerident ............... Vice-President ......
