Ee x IRVING W. JONES Assistant President OR THE first time in the history of the institution, the University of Idaho has an assistant president. This system was inaugurated by President F, J. Kelly when he brought Irving W. Jones to Idaho from the University of Minnesota to fill the position. Mr. Jones has become a popular figure on the University of Idaho campus. Establishment of the office of assistant president was made necessary partly on the general principle that the duties of a uni- versity president are too great for any one man to handle. Then, too, the president must be absent from the campus many times fulfilling his duties and during such periods the assistant president exercises executive power. Many administrative problems have been worked out by President Kelly and Mr. Jones. Mr. Jones was originally trained as a musician. He then went into educational work and has gradually come into the administrative field. He received his Ph.B. degree at the University of Wisconsin and then held professorships at Beloit College, University of ETHEL LARSON Texas, University of Wisconsin and Minnesota.
