Dr. Zimmerman and Mrs. Niemants, Secretary to the President F 'CI t Z' The man who resides at 1901 East Roma, the tall gentleman of diplomatic bearing and suave mein, has been our president since 1927, a position he acquired after two years on the campus as a professor of politi- cal science. His capability is reflected in the fact that he holds positions in such organizations as the Committee on Institutions of Higher Education, the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools, the Commission on Cultural Relations with Latin Amer- ica of the Association of American Colleges, and the Board of the School of American Research. The graduates he sends forth at Commencement are products of his inspired leadership-leadership which has trebled in responsibilities with the coming of Army and Navy contingents to the University. A credit to his institution and his country, we point with pride to our illustrious president-Dr. james Fulton Zimmerman. PAGE 1-HIRTEEN

'ii A' lil- MESSAGE FROM N W MEXICO'S GO ER GR The Honorable John J. Dempsey, Governor I am happy to express, through the Mirage, my greetings and good wishes to the student body of the University of New Mexico. These are difficult times, and University students like everyone else have had to make sacrifices. To some it has meant a sacrifice of their college education in order to take on the important task of fighting for their country. Others who are now students may be leaving before the completion of their college courses to join those already in the armed services. To those who do leave I urge that they consider the war a temporary interruption, not an end to their college work, and that they plan to resume at the earliest possible time their university studies. New Mexico as it continues to grow and progress will need the services of trained men and women, for New Mexico's growth and development will be limited only by the limitations of her people. New Mexico is proud of her educational system and of the young men and women who have been graduated from the University of New Mexico. The University has fine traditions, a reputation for excel- lent scholarship. I know that those who graduate here will be a credit to the college and to New Mexico. Sincerely, JOHN J. DEMPSE.Y, Governor. PAGE TWELVE
