President Dr. John Philip Wernette was dismissed from his position as president of the University by the board of regents, to be replaced by Tom L. Popejoy, present comptroller. Dr. Wernette has been president of the University since 1945, following the late James Fulton Zimmer- man as administrative head. He came to UNM from the Harvard graduate school of economics, where he was instrumental in the training of officers for the army. Since he took office here, the student body has grown from 924 to the present all time record enrollment of 4,491. The senior faculty has increased approximately 70 per cent. Institution of the 18 point program of policies and procedures in the selection of new faculty mem- bers aimed at improvement in techniques of selection was one of the most outstanding features of Dr. Wernette ' s administration. He was instrumental in developing a program in faculty advancement poli- cies which sought to insure that advancement would be on the basis of merit. ii iJiiiiiilMiiilii

A faculty committee on instruction was appointed by Wernette in 1946 to survey methods for securing ever-better teaching m the University faculty. Stand- ards of scholarship have increased; since 1946 all seniors have been required to take graduate record examinations which provide an objective measure in University standards. Four new offices for service to the students have been established: General Place- ment Bureau, Veterans Office, and the Testing and Counseling Service. All students who knew Dr. Wernette are sorry to see him leave. His spirit of comradeship and devotion to duty have endeared him to many. Good luck to you Dr. Wernette, we ' ll miss you.
