CO OPERATION FOR PROGRESS Working hand-in-glovewith the president through the phases of expansion is the Board of Regents. The Board, which took over O. U.'s policy-making in janu- ary of 1951, has contributed much to the University's growth and development. Although it has done much since its very conception, there are several accomplish- ments that stand out above the rest. V The entrance of Omaha University into the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools, the present million-dollar plant, the proposed Field I-louse, the ten-year building program-all these projects have come about as the result of Board co-operation and planning. Probably the most recent enterprise of the Board was the selection of a suc- cessor to President Haynes. The Board reviewed a list of 121 applicants, chose Dr. Milo Bail, and in the same stroke elected Mr. Haynes president emeritus. In announcing the new president, Will R. johnson, president of the Regents, explained the Boards selection saying: The Regents feel they have chosen not only a top ranking educator, but also an able administrator who will carry on the University's expanding program of service to students, civic, and business interests.

HAYNES ENDS THIRTEENTH YEAR g AS PRESIDENT to Mr. Haynes for his leadership in the tremendous expansion that has taken place, they cannot be unmindful of his guid- ance during the most critical war years. While some schools and universities gave up the struggle in the face of rock bot- tom enrollments, the University of Omaha not only continued but met the emergency by training more than six thousand men and women for important war jobs in the Glenn L. Martin plant and elsewhere. Other points of interest during the administration of Presi- dent Haynes include veteran's education and establishment of the Adult Testing and Guidance Center. President Haynes' influence will not stop with his retire- ment-he has planned for the years to come by setting forth a ten-year building program for even further expansion. . 785 Y ,ff
