HQEDEIQICK A. MIDDI FBLJSI-i Coming to the University in 1926, Frederick A. Middlebush has since served as dean of the School of Business and Public Administration, and in 1935 he became the President of the University. During his administration many improvements have been made, both in the physical structure of the University and in the personnel of the faculty. Included among these improvements are many new buildings, library additions, outstanding members for the faculty, a new underpass and other worth- while projects. During this past school year he has been able to devote more of his time to the duties of a civilian president of a civilian school. His work with the Army and Navy during their presence here was highly commendable. He has been working tirelessly to insure a finer school in anticipation of increased en- rollment in the postwar period. The veterans of World War II who have already returned to this campus have been greatly assisted by him in working out a program of mutual assistance. Page I6
