ADMINISTRATORS Celebrating its eighty-second year, the University of Nebraska is now composed of ten colleges and seven schools and divi- sions. The largest of these is the Arts and Sciences College. Newest addition to the univer- sity is the Junior Division, which counsels and advises incoming students. Including secondary schools the total enrollment of the uni- versity averages about twelve thousand. Bizad College is the fastest growing college in the University. Here are four good reasons for this growth. Reading left to right are professors Swayzee, Hicks, flrndt, and Spurr. Newcomers to the University this year are, left to right: George W. Rosenlof, registrar; Leroy T. Lasse, acting head of the Speech Department; and Joyce flyers, Student Union Director. [11]

Although at every meeting the Board of Regents disposes of important bus ' ness, the most important meeting from the stu- dent ' s standp oint this year was the one in which the board decided to use the funds from the Love Instate for the building of a new library. Fighting against a drastic decrease in the state appropriation for the University was a delicate task confronting the board. The sponsoring of the appro- priation petition is one of its most impor- tant functions. This year it assumed an importance of great magnitude heretofore unrealized. Functioning through committees in or- der to better correlate their work, the board acts as the supreme administrative unit of the University. Each committee deals with a particular phase of administrative work. Members ot the board are elected from the former six congressional districts at a general state election. The new president, Robert W. Devoe, replaces in that capacity Charles Y. Thompson who retains his mem- bership on the board. BOARD OF REGENTS Dv ight Griswold GOVERNOR Long a prominent figure in Nebraska politics, Dwight Griswold recently received the highest honor the state electorate can bestow, the governorship. After gradua- tion from the Lav College, class of 1917, the governor ' s career progressed rapidly via the army, banking, newspaper publishing, and the state legislature. .Board of Regents: reading from left to right, seated — Long, Thompson, Shaw; standing- Johnson, Gunderson, Boucher, Seaton, Reed, Devoe.
