DR. HUGH P. BAKER As the eleventh President of Massachusetts State College, Hugh Potter Baker will complete his all-too-short administration thi s Spring. But his solid achievements since he assumed his office in 1933 have been so helpful to the college that his place in the affections of faculty, students and alumni is secure. The college was fortunate in securing a leader who had a background of successful ex- perience as a Professor in two great colleges, as Executive Secretary of The American Paper and Pulp Association, and as Dean of the Forestry School at Syracuse University. Convinced that the college had a great future, he formulated plans for strengthening its work and extending its influence. Never sparing himself, he labored zealously to secure public support for a more adeqviate physical plant, for a stronger and larger faculty, and a richer and more extensive educational program for the college he loved. Nothing that would enhance the morale of the students and the .staff lacked his support. He preached and practiced good housekeeping. The campus was made more beautiful. At least five new dormitories were secured. Administrative quarters were renovated; infirmary facilities were increased ; a faculty club was organized with comfortable quarters in the reno- vated Stockbridge House, and Goodell Library was built. Recently he secured appropria- tions for new buildings to house Home Economics and the Physics Department . Again the student body increased from 853 to 1553; and the faculty from 112 to 159. The curriculum has been enriched by the addition of new courses and the creation of several new departments. The influence of the college has been enhanced greatly. To guide an educational institution through years of depression and war, courage and vision of a high order were needed. President Baker had these. In dedicating their Index to him, the Class of 1947 pays tribute to a man whose devo- tion to the highest interests of Massachusetts State and her Sons always has been, and al- ways will be, constant and unfailing. William L. Machmeb, Dean Massachusetts State College WE DEDICATE THE 1947 INDEX
