The President and the Deans Much of the progress of the University during the past few years can be traced directly to the leadership of President Rowland Haynes. His work this year has been aimed chiefly at coordinating the curriculum and the activities of the University with the national defense program. He was appointed a member of the Omaha Civic Defense Committee by Mayor Dan Butler and was un- animously re-elected president of the University for a third term by the Board of Regents this year. This marks the first year the University has had two colleges. In January the Board of Regents established two four-year colleges to replace the single- college system. The regents regarded this move as a step toward organization along the lines followed by major American universities. Furthermore, it is ex- pected that the development of a separate applied arts college will help meet the needs of many students for immediate employment in national defense industries. Dr. Edgar A. Holt, a leader of education in liberal arts, continues as Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences. The primary objective of the Liberal Arts College, according to Dean Holt, is to provide students with an understanding of the world in which they live, an appreciation of the past and some perception of the future, in short, preparing students to live. Dr. Holt is head of the depart- ment of history and government, chairman of several faculty committees, and member of many national organizations. To recognize outstanding students, he inaugurated the Dean's Honor List. Dean of the newly created College of Applied Arts and Sciences is Dr. Carl W. Helmstadter. This year his efforts have been directed toward in- troducing new courses to contribute to the national defense program. He is at present CAA coordinator. He was University registrar for twelve years and assistant dean for five.
