J P. HESS ADMINISTRATION J. J. WALKER F. C. LOWERY STANLEY JOHNSON V. M. DAVIS DR. T. W. SLOCKER The University of Tennessee through its many departments, insures its students a wide variation of courses from which to choose a vocation. These departments are presided over by competent, well-trained leaders who have had years of experience in their particular fields, and to whom the students look for inspiration and guidance. In a country at war the greatest premium is placed upon leadership. As in the Tennessee of past days which was notable for the quality of her leaders, so in the present day Tennessee does it be- come increasingly evident that those qualities of leadership have not diminished. Education makes for intelligent leadership and of its arts, its scholarship, its letters, its men of affairs and government, the University is justly proud. Under the present administration the University has expanded to proportions unrecognizable to students of earlier days. Leading the expansion has been the administration. During their terms of guidance Tennessee has grown rapidly and constantly. It has been their aim always to labor for ad- vancement through high faculty standards, expansion of the building program, enlargement of the library, and a unified single-minded administration. Its members have gained the admiration of the student body by fair and forthright action of high integrity and increased the prestige of the univer- sity until at present it ranks with the finest in the land.
