G. Dixon Shrum. Proaidont Howard Zieglor, Vicc-prosidont THE GENERAL ALUMNI ASSOCIATION The graduation of a Pitt students marks a transition from the undergraduate world to the greater world of the alumnus. The graduate will always have a memory of, and an interest in the University of which he was once a part. Made up of ten constituent alumni groups, the General Alumni Association was formed to keep this interest ever alive and growing. Last year its activities included a dinner-bridge, the yearly Christmas party for the children of the faculty and alumni, and the traditional sponsorship of Charter Day. To keep those far away aware of alumni and of University activities, the Alumni Review is published four times each year. In recent years the war curtailed some of the association's activities, but with over one thousand of its members returning from overseas, the Association believes that Back-to-Normal means a larger and more active membership.

THE SECRETARY Peacetime to Dr. John Weber, Secretary of the University. means keeping Pitt abreast of the times. A Pitt graduate, Mr. Weber was made an instructor in mechanical engineering in 1910; later, after taking time out to serve as a captain in World War I, he became head of the department. As supervising engineer of the University, he helped in the building of the Cathedral. In recognition cf his executive ability. Mr. Weber was made Secretary of the University in 1936. His administrative duties, however, have not caused him to neglect details of construction. Mr. Weber is looking ahead to the time when the Cathedral, as the center of University life, will be used for liberal arts alone, scientific courses being removed to new buildings. Dr. John Wobor ADMINISTRATION Dr. J. G. Quick THE REGISTRAR Post-war days have meant busier days to Dr. J. Gilbert Quick, University registrar. With thousands of vets returning to school, Pitt's enrollment is larger today that it has ever been, and Dr. Quick arose to meet this emergency in his usual efficient manner. First appointed assistant registrar, Dr. Quick became registrar in 1916. Since then Dr. Quick has had definite objectives for his work. To improve the quality cf the students and to maintain high school relations, he himself conducts the interviews for honor scholarships. Under his guidance the mechanics of enrollment have been simplified. Pitt was the first school to adopt blueprint transcription of grades. In addition to his duties as registrar, Dr. Quick is also a member of the American Association cf Collegiate Registrars. In 1945 he was granted the honorary degree of Doctor of Pedagogy from Westminster College.

M. R. Gcibbort Auleono Jamison, M.D. DEPARTMENT HEADS To th© department heads falls the responsibility of seeing that the spirit cf Pitt is fostered within the students. Because of the close scholastic association, they are keenly aware of the attitudes and hopes of the student body as a whole and represent these attitudes and hopes to the University administrative body. In that sense they are the liason between student and university with a responsibility to both. They must fairly represent the ideals of the University and the wishes of the student. They must seek at all times to wisely administer the duties of their position. They must temper the emergencies of the present with the hopes for the future. They must plan fcr the future as well as act for the present well being of the student and the University. Their job is large, the demands great but their capabilities are more than sufficient. These are our department heads: Whitford H. Shelton, languages.. .Elmer D. Graper, political science... Manuel C. Elmer, sociolcgy... O. E. Jonninqs James S. Taylor Marion McKay Frank W.
