' j fm mm T. ■ - ' j i. -». ' ■£ I v P R E S I D E N T Dr. John Philip Wernettc came to the presidency of the University in August, 1945, at 42 years of age and after a rapid, consistent rise from early teaching posts in California antl at Harvard to an associate professorship in the Harvard Graduate School of Business Administration. He was a distinguished young scholar, an economist, author, and teacher, who took up the presidency with consciousness of the opportunities offered for development of the institution in its own special atmosphere. It was a time when growth was imperative — in quality as well as in quantity. During those two years Dr. Wernette has led the institution through its period of greatest change. He has seen establish- ment of new colleges, schools, and liepartments; legislative appropriations which give promise of new opportunities; and a burgeoning of the student body into an adult, driving force for etlucation and for American citizenship in the decailes to come. During that period, also, he has welcomed to his household a new liaughter, Klizabeth Eleanor. And he has had time to discover, as hobbies, the Sandia ski run, the University swimming pool and tennis courts and riding horses, and the photographic possibilities in New Mexico. And it was in this same period that his newest book. Financing Full Employment, came to a world of confused economics from the Harvard University Press. I ' JKC iwciv
