ADMINISTRATOR and savior of Cincinnati during the period of Its great floods, his ar- rival at Wisconsin, with a considerable decrease in salary, marked the beginning of a more careful stewardship of the University ' s budget. SALESMAN of his school to all the nation, network broadcasts from the University of Wisconsin campus have become a regular NBC feature. EXECUTIVE FRIEND TEACHER ADMINISTRATOR SALESMAN

GOVERNOR OF THE STATE POLITICIAN JULIUS PETER H E I L POLITICIAN extraordinary, his enormous personal fol- lowing enabled him to assume the regular Republican leadership of the state and become the standard-bearer in the last campaign for the governorship. LEADER, with remarkable magnetic appeal, it was his personality and accomplishments which endeared him to the electorate. FOUNDER of the FHeil Company of Milwaukee after a youth of hardship, best salesman of Wisconsin products, he has nevertheless shown that a long political career is not necessary for success with the voters. BUSINESS- MAN always, his administration has been devoted to an attempt to balance a budget left out of joint by a legis- lature which voted the highest appropriations in history. SPORTSMAN of an unusual cast, his attendance at Uni- versity athletic contests and support of its athletic plant have made him a familiar and welcome figure on Satur- day afternoon in the fall.
