james F. Price was appointed Acting Chancellor last fall after the resignation of former Chancellor C-ates, and on April Zl of this year he was selected to fill the position permanently. Dr. Price was pro- moted by the Board of Trustees from his former office as Dean of the Colleges of Law and Business Administration. Originally from Manhattan, Kansas, Chancellor Price got his Bachelor of Science degree from Kansas State College in i927 after two years with the Uni- versity Afloat Around the World. He studied in Paris in i927 and returned to the United States to receive his LL.B. at Stanford three years later. In i936 he became a professor of law at Menlo junior College in San Francisco, and one year later took his Master's degree in law at Stanford. He spent two more years studying at Stanford's grad- uate school of education. ln l94l he was made Dean of Law at Washburn University, and two years later became President of Kansas State Teachers College. From his post at Kansas State, Price came to Denver University as Dean of Business Adminis- tration and Law in l945. Chancellor Price's affiliations include five pro- fessional and educational fraternities and the Amer- ican Bar Association as well as the bar associations in California and Kansas. He is a member of Rotary Denver and is on the Covernor's Committee for re- search in development of Colorado. The eldest of his four children, james jr., l9, is a junior at D.U. now. Chancellor Price is the eleventh man to fill this position since the Colorado Seminary was granted its charter in l864. During his first year in office much of the money collected in last year's two mil- lion dollar expansion drive has been put to practical use. New buildings have appeared on the University Park Campus as well as on Civic Center Campus, and the enormous, new fieldhouse is an outstanding addition to our expanding campus. Enrollment reached new heights in D.U. this year with more than lO,5OO students registered during the fall quarter. Veterans abounded, high school graduates were more numerous than ever. More than l3O foreign students representing forty-two countries came to study at D.U. As coordinator for the Deans' Council, the faculty and the Board of Trustees, Chancellor Price has been busy and successful in his new job. The Price Family, Minus James F., Jr.
