RowLAND HAYNES The President As president of the University of Omaha, Rowland Haynes has provided the leadership under which the University has made spectacular progress: a new campus, fifty-one acres in size, has been acquired, a million-dollar building has been erected, in one year enrollment has increased over fifty per cent, and the University of Omaha has been admitted to membership in the North Central Association of Secondary Schools and Colleges. Perhaps Mr. Haynes' most noteworthy accomplishment has been his Life- Time Plan for Education. He states that since the world today is in a confused state of affairs and that since the sum total of human knowledge is large and is always increasing, a person who completes a four-year college course has con- structed only a foundation for future study and should continue his studies throughout life.

FIRESIDE CHAT functional unit in the community and to serve the needs of adults, has enlarged the faculty and increased the number and types of courses offered in the School of Adult Education. Thoroughly democratic and liberal in his methods, Mr. Haynes has long adhered to the policy of inviting faculty advice and cooperation on administrative matters. However, during the past year he has inaugurated a new policy that, in its implications, is well-nigh revolutionary. Since the adults of today were the students of yesterday, and since adults should have a clear understanding of the problems which a graduated student must face, Mr. Haynes has asked for opin- ions from competent business and professional men and women. In addition, realizing that students, more than anyone else, understand not only their prob- lems, but also their hopes and desires, Mr. Haynes has invited representative groups of students to meet with him and offer their advice and opinions on mat- ters of administrative policy. However, no bare recital of facts can properly interpret that which stands out most clearly in Mr. Haynes' dealings with students--his personality. His charm and ease of manner, the depth of his culture, his sympathy and considera- tion for the most trivial of student problems, his sincere desire to serve the young people of this region, and his quick and incisive intelligence are qualities that distinguish Mr. Haynes among his fellows. :l.., 1-21131: 4 .--.weighs . .Q--, -VA ,1 Y ,::, V Y V Y 3 , 3
