'wa PBESIDE WES In times of stress are men tried. In times of crisis is a mans worth proved. His efforts in their behalf during time of war have even ine creased the already great endearment UND's students had for their college president, lohn C. West. Always a favorite of his students, President West now even more than before has occasion to use with the young men and women who come to his college the welcoming gesture shown a few pages back in ushering them into his office for a friendly discussion of their problems. H-J: Tall, white haired, erect, with a bearing every inch a college president, West enjoys a good story, can crack wise and relax with the best. A schoolman most of his life, he is nevertheless an ardent outdoor liver when ever his duties permit it. Devotee of the rod and reel, President VVest is very proud of this one that didn't get away.
