:Et r'- .-J ., g- if Robert W. Selig, President of Board of Trustees Harvey D. Willson, Treasurer and Business Manager Symbolizing University Progress His activities as Inter-fraternity Council president, class officer, and editor of both the Kynewisbok and Clarion have been only the beginning of a successful career. Now the President of the Board of Trus- tees, Robert W. Selig has given much to the University in time and service. To- gether with the Chancellor, lVlr. Selig has been a leader in the Corporate Support Program which interests large businesses in giving aid to institutions of higher learn- ing. As a DU alumnus Mr. Selig retains an active interest in student and university affairs. In fact, not so long ago, lVlr. Selig found a book in his library which he had checked out from DU as a student. After computing the fine, which was quite a large sum, he cheerfully made a gift to the Uni- versity while returning the long over-due book. Blueprinting the Future As Treasurer and Business Manager of the University, Harvey D. Willson fills an im- portant post. At present he is busily planning finances for construction of several new build- ings to be completed by 1964-. His first posi- tion with DU was as an accounting professor and director of that department and director of the government management department when the school was known as the School of Commerce. Besides two master's degrees, lVlr. Willson is qualified as a Certified Public Accountant. He left DU for a while to serve Denver as Director of Assessments and re- turned to the combined position of Treasurer and Business Manager.
