ALEXANDER G. RUTHVEN For over a decade Dr. Alexander Grant Ruthven has with sincerity and fidelity guided the progress of the University of Michigan. During this time he has become personally known to students and alumni alike to a greater extent than almost any other chief executive in the University ' s history. As a man of letters, he has not only maintained Michigan ' s rank among the great Universities of the country, but has greatly increased its reputation and usefulness. In some part his success may be due to his training in the biological sciences. Combining keen insight forthe physical and spiritual needs of students, and a practical mind developed by his many years in the field, Dr. Ruthven affords us an opportunity to observe how a biologist who is accustomed to observe the interplay of vital processes in natural organisms, deals with a great educational institution. His aim has been to produce in the University a corresponding organic constitution in which each division functions to perform, and all are expected to contribute to the unity of the whole. In this true scientific spirit, Dr. Ruthven last year stated in his report to the regents: ... During the last decade Michigan has become better integrated, more dem- ocratic in administration and spirit, and more effective in attention given to the individual student. This is not to say, however, that nothing remains to be done. A University can never be finished. When it ceases to improve it begins to decline. 11
