PRESIDENT Dr. Paul V. Sangren, president of Western Michigan college, typifies the progressive, democratic and hard-working spirit that is Western. Since he became president in 1936 he has used development as his key objective and it has been through his efforts that Western has grown in size and influence. The college, now recognized as one of the nation ' s out- standing teacher-training institutions, has been added to in the realms of enrollment, buildings, land and curricula. Dr. Sangren has seen to it, however, that Western retains the ideals of democracy and friendli- ness envisioned for it by its first president, Dwight B. Waldo. Dr. Sangren is a man with ideas. He has brought to Western a new system of directed teaching, a graduate division, and various departmental work shops as well as the Walwood union and residence. Health and Personnel building, Spindler Hall, the Little Theater, Waldo stadium and baseball park, Vandercook Hall, and the Mechanical Trades build- ing. Although Dr. Sangren ' s program is filled with trips to Lansing, Washington and New York and his day is a busy one of conferences, meetings, and plans for Western ' s future, he is always willing to see faculty members or students and to help them solve their problems or listen to their suggestions. His ability to get things done plus his friendliness and cooperation is admired and respected by everyone who comes in contact with him.
