VICE PRESIDENT LEONARD W. BUCKLIN TREASURER Operating the college in an efficient manner calls for successful management of finances. It is the job of Mr. Heyward A. Williams and his assistants to collect the student fees for tuition, room, and board, as well as other registrational fees. Also important is the allocation and distri- bution of the college yearly income. As the plans for further development and expansion of Wes- leyan are carried out, the position of treasurer ever increases in importance. During the past year the treasurer ' s office has been able to replace much of its manual work with time-saving machines; however, Mr. Williams is still the man to see when a purchase order is needed. Serving his first year as vice president of Wes- leyan College, Mr. Leonard W. Bucklin has been busy supervising the expansion program of the college. Mr. Bucklin, an attorney from Sanford, Maine, filled the vacancy opened when James I. Ling retired last July. Active in political, civic, and service activities of his home community, Mr. Bucklin has been an active participant in the col- lege and in the community. Two expansion projects with which Mr. Bucklin is concerned are the proposed science hall and gymnasium. This two and one-half million dollar project is scheduled for immediate execution. HEYWARD A. WILLIAMS 16

Most of the fifteen articles he published in 1960 were in the fields of education, psychology and religion. He was particularly pleased by having had three short stories accepted for publication— including, The Day Mr. Harper Began to Die, published by Artesian, a literary magazine of the University of Michigan.
