pROVOST DONALD W. GILBERT The demands of a modern university such as the University of Rochester upon its president have be- come too heavy for one man, even for an adminis- trator as energetic and versatile as Alan Valentine, and therefore, in 1948, Dr. Gilbert was appointed Provost of the University after many years of dis- tinguished service on the faculty and administration. Because of Provost Gilbertls thorough acquaintance with all facets of life at the University of Rochester, no one could execute the complex and tiring duties of his position with greater efliciency than this tall, modest gentleman. The splendid manner in which he conducted the affairs of the University during President Valentinels leave of absence last year, and the inestimable service he has rendered the University during the past thirty years make Provost Donald I. Gilbert exceptionally outstanding in an adminis- tration composed of outstanding men and Women. DEAN J. EDWARD HOFFMEISTER Few deans in any university can rival the combination of popularity and ability possessed by the Dean of the Universityls College of Arts and Science, I. Edward Hoffmeister. An outstanding geologist in addition to being a singularly able administrator, Dean HOH- meister possesses a rare blending of executive compe- tence, scholarly knowledge, and exceptional -ability in giving friendly, sincere guidance to all who seek his counsel. He carries on the exacting functions of his office with efficiency and affability which have Won him the friendship and admiration of the University.
