Chiefs of the Able Leaders Observant of the right. A Greater Wartburg is the motto of President C. H. Becker, ancl all his energy and ability is being devoted to the fulfillment of this goal. Thus, the main work of the Wart- burg president this year has been guiding the college through its complicated maze of ex- pansion and improvement. Under the four years of his leader- ship, Wartburg has shown a remarkable ad- vance in number of students, accreditation, physical plant, and school spirit. It is plain to all that a great deal of the progress can be attributed to the hard and untiring work of Dr. Becker. After attaining North Central Associa- tion accreditation last year, improvements this year have centered around the building program that has been put into operation. First of the expansion projects to take shape was the third-story addition to the men ' s dormitory, Grossmann Hall. Also under way is a complete remodeling of the lower floors of Grossmann, so that by next year the finest type of dormitory facilities will be available to a large number of students. Special pride of the president is the new Knights gymnasium, begun last spring and completed this year with the dedication on May 26. Still greater plans are on the drafting boards as President Becker sets out to make this truly a Greater Wartburg. In some future day the campus will include a chapel-aiiditorium, addition to Lvither Hall, new dormitories, and a commons building. Everyone interested in Wartburg — its faculty, students, and friends — has complete confidence that these goals will be realized. They stand behind the president with encour- agement and assistance for the building of the Greater Wartburg. t Dr. G. J. Neumann, Vice-president of ttie College. 8

Administration Tend but to order our happy state. Jobs of director of ad- missions and keeper of rec- ords make the Rev. W. Co Fritschel, college registrar, a most important person on .eampuis. No student enters Wartburg and no student leaves the school but through him. He draws up schedules and assigns rooms, checks on graduation requirements and hour loads.. He is one of the men behind the scenes with- out whom a regulated college life would be impossible. Miss Eldora Flugga, college treasurer, has the re- sponsibility of handling all student fees, and keeping an accurate record of them. Most Wartburgers see her on regis- tration days and at any inter- vals between times when the checks for on-campus work are passed out. Business manager, Mr. Clarence W. Pries, has charge of student employ- ment and all purchasing for the campus household, which all adds up to a very busy person. His work entails a vast amount of detail and a wide knowledge of many fields. Anything concerned with the re- lationship of Wartburg College to the outside world is the Rev. C. G. Shalk- hauser ' s business. His public relations oflfice acquaints the wide public with the aims and the accomplishments of the school. Besides editing the Bulletin, he goes out for more students, thereby filling the dormitories and annexes with young people eager for a college educa- tion. 10
