a n c e tio r Williamo Kentucky traditionally produces thoroughbreds. Ken- tucky produced Chancellor J. D. Williams. Things equal to the same thing or equal things are equal to each other. Since Dr. Williams pulled up stakes at Marshall Col- lege, Huntington, West Virginia, to come to the Univer- sity in 1946, he has boosted the University of Mississippi into the national educational picture through his contin- ued participation in such organizations as the American Council on Education and the Board of Control for Southern Regional Education. He was, until a few months ago, president of the De- partment of Higher Education of the National Commit- tee on Public Relations for the NEA. That he is well qualified for the latter post is demon- strated daily by his ' ' open door policy which admits students to hi s office for whatever complaint they wish to register, despite the press of business which never seems to disturb his usually personable and smiling ap- pearance. He takes a keen interest in the personal prob- lems of every student on the campus, an interest supple- mented by experiences gained in having a ' teen-ager around the house—his daughter, Ruth Harter, whose popularity at the University High School keeps the Chan- cellor ' s residence constantly a-clatter with ' teen-tinnabu- lotions. Less than 50, Chancellor Williams is a young man for his job. That youth is reflected in his think ing on the future of the University, a great future in which he has complete faith. Evidence of that faith is displayed con- cretely in a 25-year plan for the University which has been drawn up during his administration and which has even now begun to materialize. Tangible signs of the program being made along those lines are the new $1,250,000 library which is just being finished; a new radio-band building; three recently built men ' s dormitories and one girl ' s dormitory now under construction; not to overlook the improvements in the landscaping of the campus. He also is the man who first permitted students to dance in the new grill; who had this gathering spot that once was the old Armory renovated for that very pur- pose. The balance wheel in the Chancellor ' s heavy schedule is his wife, by all way of thinking the First Lady of the campus, who shares his dreams and his problems—and his company, what with a travel-luncheon-speaking-office schedule that manages to keep him away from home a great many hours of each day. However, her own activi- ties and her home keep her busy enough, and she is in fact, Mrs. University, Ole Miss ' Dolly Madison. Chancellor Williams envisions a state university for Mississippi which one day will have a minimum of 5,000 students and which will serve the state to the fullest ex- tent in its every need. It will take more than a war and pestilence to frustrate the accomplishment of that vision. The University of Mississippi was founded and built on honesty, he once told a group of alumni, and that foundation will be preserved so long as the University emphasizes the quality of its instruction, guarantees the quality of its students. This is Dr. Williams ' pledge to the State of Mississippi, to the University of Mississippi. That he will never violate that pledge there is no doubt.
