PRESIDENT BAIL DR. MILO BAIL MARKED his third year as President of the University with progress de- spite many trying conditions. A College of Education was established for the first time, and courses in the School of Adult Education were reorganized to enable night school students to get their degrees without attending day school. President Bail said he believed this to be a great step in the University ' s program of community service. These advances have been in the face of a great loss of students to the armed services. The student body fell 25 per cent between the first and second semester. Dr. Bail was instru- mental in the change of induction policy which allows students to be deferred to the end of the academic year and still enlist in the service of their choice. Dr. Bail spent the first part of the school year recovering from a heart at- tack which he suffered last August 4. Behind the President ' s desk

He served as chairman of the Faculty and Students Relations Committee, and was a mem- of the Retirement Committee and the Alumni Re- lations Committee. His sound advice and counsel will be missed by students and faculty alike, for his constructive support of the university greatly aided its growth.
