His home on South University A university the size of Michigan presents a paradox in personalities and masses of people. President Ruthven is the best example of these two phases of our life here at school. We know him as the executive through his contacts with the administration and the public. But in order to meet and understand him as an individual, the 1949 ' Ensian would like to take you into his home. tat PRESIDENT The Ruthvens at home in their living room A minute of relaxation over tea

- feint With his prize boxer, Lexy Today we can very seldom find President Ruthven with extra leisu re time. When official duties are not pressing him, he is usually busy with other inter- ests which range over a very wide field. One of them is horseback riding, and he has collected a fine group of horse prints for his study. Another hobby, his thoroughbred boxer, is the pride of the household. He also has a farm near Ann Arbor which enables him to relax in his spare moments. His life is an extremely interesting one though he is often the last to offer information about himself. Study of the Ruthvens in their garden Since his appointment to the presidency in 1929, his main considerations have been focused on the problems of the University. We may meet the President and his wife only at the Ruthven Teas and at graduation while we are in school. However, these pages give you an intro- duction to the head of the University. He is not only the symbol of Michigan but also its active leader. It is under his inspiration that the spirit of Michigan is developing today.
