Jesse E. Buchanan University President He Builds a Smooth-Running, Growing, Achieving University For three years J. E. Buchanan has handled the leadership of the State University as its tenth president and successfully solved many pressing problems. Under his efficient organization, questions such as the general lack of space to accommodate the large post-war increase in enrollment, maintaining a quality staff in the face of salary competition with other schools, and the expanded building plans and necessary appropriations were answered. Perhaps a young Dean of Engineering was just what the University needed in 1946 to solve the problem of fitting our limited resources to the fast-growing enrollment. When he accepted our state's top educational post he said, ‘“The opportunity to become president of my own University, a chance which comes to few men, was too appealing to refuse.” And so he became the first alumnus to be president at Idaho and we have his decision to thank for a smooth-running, ever-growing, and achieving University.

Capable Group Supervises University ‘Paper’ Work This group of administrative officials keeps active through the year coordinating the policies of the various university departments. Harlow Campbell has been with the University since 1945 and when the department of field service was created in 1947 he was made director. His office now includes non-resident instruction, placement, and field service. Kenneth A. Dick has been with the University since 1931 and has been bursar for the past three years. In addition to his duties in this office he is chairman of the student loan committee. D. D. DuSault has served the University for twenty-six years. Through his work as registrar and being in charge of admissions, he comes in contact with more students than almost any other university official. Mr. DuSault also serves as secretary to the faculty. George Gagon took over the job of university engincer in 1947. This past year has been an especially busy one with the heating plant project, the golf club house and the South Hills houses being completed. Future expansion now being planned will add to Mr. Gagon’s “behind the scenes”’ activity. As director of dormitories, Robert Greene has the job of housing the majority of university students. All men's and women’s dormitories are filled through his office. Lee F. Zimmerman has handled the position of university librarian since March, 1948. He is also a member of Academic and Graduate Councils. Mr. Zimmerman came to Idaho from Minnesota, where he served as State Director of Libraries. R. S. Gibbs, acting director of information, has been with the University since 1946. In addition to his work with the university press service, he is chairman of the gift and endowment committee, the public rela- tions committee, and is a member of the faculty-staff welfare committee. Purchasing agent L. C. Warner has been on the university staff since 1946. | a | ae =?! a Harlow H. Campbell Kenneth A. Dick D. D.
