DR. RUFUS H. FITZGERALD Soft-spoken, sincere, and conscientious, Vice-Chancellor Fitzgerald is among the busiest administration officers in the University. So few students realize how much Dr. Fitzgerald does. As head of the Hoard of Deans, he is now working out plans for war training here at Hitt. He regulates new teaching devices, plans for scholarships to worthy students in his policy of equal opportunity for education, supervises recreation and housing of students, acquires new staff members and computes the relative accomplishments of departments. Above all. Dr. Fitzgerald’s chief concern is the student. To him come the undergraduate leaders with their problems in publications, activities and organizations. Now he is taking out out-moded courses and installing up-to-the-minute ones, and has already map] cd out a post-war program for returning veterans. I)r. Fitzgerald’s job of keeping the work and activities of the University rolling ahead is a big one and only he could do it. DR. JOHN WEBER Probably the |htsou who is most familiar with Pitt, both from the student’s viewpoint and the faculty’s, is I)r. John Wel»er. see re tan.- of the University. A Pitt graduate.

Till] CHANCELLOR THE OWL is a student record of life at the University—of fun. the joy to Ik- alive, and the high seriousness of moving toward significant maturity. It is the meaning the University has, individually, for each student—a meaning which is in beautiful buildings, the grass and trees of the campus, the character of those about you, teachers and fellow students, and the things you do day after day. It is your growing in skill to be a doctor or a business man or an artist or a good citizen, and your capacity for thinking clearly about material things and the non material. It is a record of your growing toward integrity and kindness, toward worthy doing and quiet wisdom. “Let me congratulate you upon tin- recording of these things.” John (I. Bowman. [15]
