Board of Trustees Dr. Robert Hamilton Dean of Law School Dr. Otis Rechard Dean of Liberal Arts Dr. O. C. Schwiering Dean of Education Dean John Hill Dean of Agriculture Dr. R. D. Goodrich Dean of Engineering Dean E. Luella Galliver, now on leave of absence to study at Co- lumbia University in New York, and Miss Daisy Sechrist, acting dean of women have had to match the exuberance of the suddenly- date-supplied AWS with a disci- plined understanding and handl- ing of the situation. Major Beverly C. Daly, dean of men, member of the University faculty since 1911, has tackled for a second time the task of convert- ing a campus geared to wartime needs back to civilian routine — the job of coordinating older, settled GI ' s and seventeen year old fresh- man students into an integrated and compatible male student body. Haunted by the expanding fu- ture and maltreated by the shifting present, the faculty and deans have been hard shelled toward de- partmental growing pains as they have accepted added burdens of crowded classrooms, too full lec- ture schedules and numerous advisees . . . working confidently toward completing an expanded program to accomodate the great- er enrollment increase which is anticipated in the fall of 1946.

the cnmpus Often called the University, campus buildings are ac- tually only the tangible evidence of its existence, the ware- houses of instruction and attainment, connected by the grass- erasing paths of the real college — the student body. But the brick and mortar are indispensible and a yearbook would not be complete without the setting which the familiar build- ings provide. The University ' s amoeba-like eastward growth from Old Main ' s acre plot in 1886 to the amount of acreage now under culturation is exemplified in its three periods of construction by the library, the gymnasium and the student union. The library belongs to the old campus where now the cotton- woods are ancient and the students pass through on their way downtown. The gymnasium is the guardian against the eastern move- ment, a reactionary who finally had to give in to Fraternity park and veteran housing. The Union introduced the modern era. Old Main, our sexagenarian patriarch, and the fetal Oil Shale present the faith of President Nelson, Dr. Downey, Dr. Hebard and the promise of President Humphrey and Joe Col- lege for a bigger and better . . .
