Administration Glenn Frank H.irriscr Ewmg Frank O. Holt ' 11 HE promotion ot Registrar Frank O. Holt to the position ot Deanot the Uni- versity Extension Division is a splendid tribute to a worthy career devoted to the betterment ot the University ot Wiscon- sin. The thousands oi students who have tound in him sympathetic understanding of their problems will wish him luck in his new position. The establishment ot Orientation Week, the organization ot the State High School Student Relations Bureau, the dispatching ot good will squadrons trom the uni- versity into the state are only a few of the positive accomplishments ot this energetic, most-visited man in the university adminis- tration. President Glenn Frank TOURING the ten-year tenure of Presi ' dent Glenn Frank, the University of Wisconsin has maintained its position among the leading educational institutions ot the world. This achievement is due in no small measure to the intelligent direc- tion ot President Frank, whose keen per- ception of the constantly varying con- temporary situation has enabled the uni- versity ' s curriculum to keep step with the changing times. The fact that Glenn Frank has been mentioned not infrequently as a potential presidential nominee in 1936, suggests that even those most critical of academic par- ticipation in government would be wi lling to trust flexible inteUigence of the Wis- consin brand in the White House.

In Service to the Nation The University Brings Itself in Touch with the Living Realities of State ' II ' HE ideal ot service is one of those intangible criteria which the Uni- versity ot Wisconsin, as all other schools, must strive to maintain. In the ordinary course of events the practice ot this ideal goes forward practically unnoticed. Only in exceptional cases is the rendition ot this service called to view. The present na- tional administration has provided one of these exceptional cases. The New Deal, as presented by Presi- dent Roosevelt, created an emergency that demanded men trained m special fields ot endeavor. The successful functioning ot the new institutions rested on the effec- tiveness with which these men thought and acted. It is only natural that the edu- cational institutions were among the places to which the administration turned its plea in this emergency. Many ot our men stepped forward and gave their service in this extraordinary situation. The Uni- versity of Wisconsin can be proud that it was able to contribute some ot these men who sacrificed their time to help establish and perfect the intricate and component parts of the New Deal Machinery. The President ' s Committee on Eco- nomic Security was an agency created tor the purpose of advising the President and Congress on matters of social security. Professor Edwin E. Witte of the econom- ics department received the appointment as the Executive Director of this com- mittee when It was first organiz;ed in July of 1934. At present, he still holds this position, dividing his energy and efforts between the committee ' s work and his teaching in the Economics department. The work of this group has resulted in the introduction into Congress ot the Social Garrison WlTTE Securities Act and the Work Relief Bill, both extremely important measures. Co- operation and coordination ot the various state legislative programs for social se- curity is also included in the quota of responsibilities ot Professor Witte ' s com- mittee. When the administration found itself m need ot a man to serve as Chairman of the newly created National Labor Rela- tions Board in July of 193,4, Lloyd K. Garrison, Dean ot Wisconsin ' s Law School, was called. This board had under its jurisdiction twenty-two regional labor boards throughout the country. Labor troubles of all kinds, but especially con- troversies involving Section 7A of the Recovery Act were handled by these hoards. The work of the national board included: (a) judicial- -the trying ot cases appealed from the regional boards; (b) administrative — establishment and work- ing out of the procedure to be followed by the regional boards; and (c) mediatory — assistance by way of arbitration and con- ciliation in avoiding of important strikes. Although the last of these was not con- sidered a wholly desirable function for such a judicial agency, the settlement of the seamens ' strike that threatened to tie up the shipping on the entire Atlantic seaboard proved the commission ' s effec- tiveness in this line. W ith the Board es- tablished and functioning m good order. Dean Garrison returned to the university in October ot this vear. Page I 2
