Q i n. 2 M. f- M F i 1 A president of anything must be both leader and symbol, both policy-maker and an expression of those policies. Byron Kightly Trippet, Wabash '30, fulfills the requirements excellently. He knows the college from all angles: student, professor, dean, and lespecially since the Development Programl salesman. His intelligence and leadership ability are proven by his Phi Beta Kappa Key, his having been a Rhodes Scholar, and his positions on an assortment of boards of directors, ranging from his hometown telephone company to Chairman of the Board of the Independent College Funds of America. And his sol- idly tall, imposing figure, with natural good looks and a resonant voice, give him plenty of what poli sci maiors call charisma, During his administration Wabash has taken sev- eral giant steps toward the top of the roster of great colleges: physically with Martindale and Bax- ter, mentally with on ever more-demanding faculty, status-wise with the Ford Grant bringing it much- deserved attention. His student body calls him BKT, indicating a warm, friendly respect, three- initial nicknames are usually reserved for national figures. And all are sure he will provide the perfect recipe as Wabash seeks to blend old and new. The President
