The new President has taken active interest, not only in executive operation, but also in the part the student plays. He has met the student at coffee hours and at the president's conferences, always willing and anxious to dis- cuss their problems. In his talks with the students, one signifi- cant point will be remembered-that the object of the University is to produce a person who will be an honest, upright, responsible citizen. In Dr. Bail's own wordssto produce a person who can pay his own freight. As he stepped into the academic and building programs, so has Dr. Bail stepped into the athletic programs. Expansion has quickly followed. For the first time in its history, Omaha University had an intercollegiate wrestling team. An avid sports fan, Dr. Bail has been present at most of the home football and basketball games, the pep rallies and has taken part in many half-time ceremonies. The initials M.B. stand for progress in every phase of college life. ll ll

we new Aa ein... When the University of Omaha began, there were thirty-some student and faculty, now there is a combined enrollment of 3,2-200. Since its beginning forty-one years ago, the University has gained strength and recognition. But the trail of progress is a never ending one. To lead the University on its continued march, there has come a man, in years not much older than the University itself. This man, youthful both in appearance and attion, is Dr. Milo Bail. For the past twenty years, Dr. Bail has been associated with teaching both in high schools and colleges. He holds a doctors degree from the University of Iowa. Before assuming the presif dency here at the University, he was Dean of the College of Edu- :ation at Butler University, one of the most progressive universities in the country. The forty-nine year old President has assumed his new posi- tion with one idea foremost in mind-progress. Progress for the University and for the students and faculty. He completed arrange- ments for the four year program in Retailing, which works in close cooperation with the downtown merchants.
