President O. R. Latham The appearance of a college annual is an event of prime importance among the events of the school year. Representing, as it does, months of arduous labor, in gathering the materials, infinite patience in planning and perfecting the organization, and attention to hundreds of details in the production and publication of the book, its completion must bring to the staff a sense of relief in the thought that the finished product is at last a reality. Mirroring as such a publication does, every phase of scholastic endeavor, every type of extra- curricular activity, and much of the more intimate side of college life which defies classification, the annual holds within its pages countless items of ab- sorbing interest to every person in whose bosom burns even a single spark of loyalty to the institution. The Old Gold Staff of 1930 is to be heartily congratulated upon the year- book which it has produced. Every page gives evidence of a work well done; every glimpse into its contents reveals the spirit and achievement of Iowa State Teachers College. The book should be for every student a lasting source of pleasure as it continues to call to mind the friendships and acquaintances formed in the most significant period of an individual's life, and to remind one of the joys and aspirations which accompany the quest for knowledge and self- development. It is with genuine pleasure that I commend the volume to stu- dents, faculty, alumni, and friends. Page 22

OFFICERS OF ADMINISTRATION Top Row: Dksi.ik I. Reed, Dcnn of Men; Sadie B. Campbell, Dean of Women; Mary E. ILuoht, Head of Bartlett Hall; Charter S. Cory, Registrar and Examiner. Firtt Row: BENJAMIN Boardman, Financial Secretary: M. J. XklSON, Director of Research, Anna R. Wii-d, Executive Secretary, Jajjes Robinson, Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds. The relation of the administrative officers of a collegiate institution to the other parts of that institution is often little understood and not infrequently misinterpreted. Dealing, as they do. with the larger phases of the educational machinery, their motives are likely to be seriously questioned when, as must always be the case, some slight injustice is done to an individual student be- cause of a regulation which works for the best interests of the majority. Hav- ing as their problems matters pertaining to discipline they are too frequently looked upon as arch-enemies of personal liberty. Striving as they do to keep the financial expenditures of the institution within the bounds of the resources made available by the State, they are often accused of being miserly and penur- ious. Because theirs is the problem of caring for the maintenance and proper functioning of the material equipment of the college they are sometimes looked upon as being unnecessarily rigid in their specifications concerning the use or abuse of school properties. In short, administrative officers, when the average individual thinks of them at all, are considered as being a somewhat non-essential evil. Those who be- come best acquainted with them, however, find them to be among the most loyal and devoted members of the staff. No one works more diligently for the welfare of the students; no one has the best interests of the institution more at heart. Just as the prime need of a democracy is capable leadership, so an edu- cational institution cannot rise far above the level of its administrative staff. The ideals of Iowa State Teachers College are not reflected solely in its teach- ing personnel, but also in its administrative staff. Q. R. Latham Page 23
