O nrvmfxaigisnii Ti Dr. Winterberg, FINANCIAL VICE PRESIDENT Dr. Robert R. Winterberg, the university's Financial Vice President, is, like President Burns, an alumnus of Pacific. He graduated with the class of 1951 after receiving an A.A. degree from the College of the Sequoias in 1949. After doing graduate work at the College of Pacific in 1951 and 1952, Dr. Winterberg served a valuable apprenticeship for his present position when he fulfilled the role of Finance and Accounting Officer in the United States Army. Retuming from the army in 1955, he was Business Manager at Pacific for six years before becoming Executive Assistant to the President for Financial Affairs, prior to being named to his vice-presidency in 1963. In 1969 Dr. Winterberg gained the distinction of serving as chairman for the convention of the National Association of College and University Business Officers.

X-1 sg Dr. Robert E. Burns, president of the Univer- sity of Pacific and of the Association of Indepen- dent California Colleges and Universities, is the man most responsible for the ever-growing edu- cational opportunities at the University of Paci- fic. An alumnus of Pacific, class of 1931, Dr. Burns has served his alma mater continuously since his undergraduate days, and has, in that time, provided the inspiration for many impor- tant changes in the structure of the university. In 1969 those changes are most evident in the flourishing of the cluster colleges, Raymond, El- bert Covell, and Callison, which Dr. Burns helped to pioneer. His studies of Oxford and Cambridge universities in England provided the necessary background for the opening of Raymond College in 1962, and, a year later, of Elbert Covell Col- lege, which offers its entire curriculum in the Spa- nish language and is the first North American col- lege for Latin students to study in their own lan- guage. An equally unique contribution to higher educa- tion is reflected in Dr. Burns's guidance of Cal- lison College, opened in 1967, which sends its sophomore class to spend a year abroad at an overseas campus in Bangalore, India. Certainly Dr. Burns's efforts to promote international understanding through education mark him as the exemplar of fulfillment of the highest goals achievable by the citizen in the community of the University of Pacific: the seeking of cultural and spiritual growth through personal contacts with informative sources. The preservation of this opportunity for personal contacts in the face of the rising number of college students has inspired Dr. Burns to concentrate on a program of grow- ing larger by growing smaller. We see the results of this program not just in the cluster colleges, but also in the expanding of other schools of the university. A S9 million build- ing for the School of Dentistry in San Francisco was completed in 1967, additional construction is underway at the McGeorge School of Law in Sac- ramento, and the School of Pharmacy recently moved its headquarters from Weber Hall to the new facilities across the Calaveras River. Appropriately enough, when Dr. Burns fell ill this fall, he became the first patient at Paci- fic's new health center, thus one of the many progressive institutions he had worked to estab- lish was given the opportunity to reciprocate by rendering service to the man who has spent his entire adult life in service to his school. , ,,. rr' .-- 4-. ! 20
