Row 1: The Very Rev. Charles E. McAllister, Spokane; John C. Scott, Sequim; James A. McCIuskey, Spokane, president of the board; and John F. Camp, Vancouver, board treasurer Row 2: Stanton Hall, Everett, board vice-president; Alan Rogers, Ellensburg; and Rodgers Hamilton, Okanogan Board of Regents The people of the State of Washington, by law, have in¬ vested in a Board of Regents the authority to govern the State college. This board is composed of seven members who are appointed by the governor and approved by the State Senate. The president of the college is the secretary ex-officio. The law creating the Board of Regents strongly intended to provide maximum self-government for the State College of Washington. The school has been par¬ ticularly successful in this, having been singularly free from political interference. Academic freedom of a high order is encouraged by the laws which define the objec¬ tives of the State College of Washington. The duties and powers of the Board of Regents are broad and inclusive. They include the management of the State college, the experiment stations and the extension serv¬ ice; the supervision of all property, the erecting and con¬ struction of needed buildings; and the custody, disburse¬ ment and expenditure of all moneys. It further exercises the legal powers of making contracts both for faculty personnel and extension employees, and it decides upon student fees. The board also has the power of delegating certain and numerous authorities to the president of the college and does so when it deems it necessary for smooth¬ running of the institution. President James A. McCIuskey Vice President Stanton J. Hall Treasurer John F. Camp

President Compton President Compton is a busy man. A glance at his last years calendar will show his diversified activities for WSC. In January he planned and charted the WSC of the future. In February he had a state legislature to meet and convince. He sneaked in a Sunday to go to the Ski Bowl and cheer for the ski team. In March President Compton sent letters to the parents of all honor roll students. April found him in Washington, D.C., keeping the name of WSC in national affairs. May came, and Dr. Compton welcomed Moth¬ ers and crowned the May Queen. In June diplomas went to two thousand. July sent Dr. Compton visiting to the experiment stations throughout the state and to the “Little WSC’s.” With the com¬ ing of August, he fished and camped at the WSC staff co-op camp on Priest lake. In September he greeted freshmen and daily inspected the progress on new buildings. In October, he didn’t miss a ball game. November came and Dr. Compton participated in land grant col¬ lege meetings. In December, he was host at the “Pig Dinner” honoring campus presidents. On Christmas eve he visited the Fairways. He is the President for twelve months of the year. President of the Slate College of Washing ton WILSON M. COMPTON A browsing tour through President Compton’s den while he is away reveals an impressive number of trophies, awards and photos. He was a star athlete at College of Wooster and has plaques denoting his winning of eleven letters in major college sports. During this time Dr. Compton was captain of the basketball team. His recreational habits have fallen into different veins now. He is an enthusiastic spectator at many campus games and is a rooter for all WSC teams, be they basketball, football, baseball, ski, track or tennis. He also plays a mean game of golf when he can work it into his schedule. During the summer he spends some time at the WSC staff co-op camp at Priest lake, which he bought and turned over to the faculty.

WSC Services Hospital Finch Memorial hospital staff is composed of four well-qualified physicians and a good working staff of nurses. These are the people who try to keep the students healthy by having regular clinic hours for their con¬ venience. The student health service is growing both with physical facilities and in scope of patients. A more ef¬ ficient unit is the aim. Dr. Barbara Moulton, Dr. James Closson, Dr. Jonathan Thatcher, Dr. William Holcomb Placement Bureau Walter M. Bristol is the head of this efficient function of the State College of Wash¬ ington. The Placement bu¬ reau is concerned primarily with gathering information about graduates and pros¬ pective graduates of the col¬ lege. This information is made available to employers to aid in satisfactory employ¬ ment of students and grads.

The friendly atmosphere that prevails at the center plus the superior counselling has given many students their impetus to “learn to learn.” The center is well integrated with the other campus offices and ranks in quality with any such center in the country. 25 Robin Clyde, Charles Roberts, Norman Harris, Jane Couch, Marguerite Wilmer Seated: Edith Neihl, Harold Pepinsky
