Oaklands, Home of President and Mrs. Miller. Every city has one person who takes all the responsibility of the city. As a mayor is to a city, so is President James W. Miller to Western Michigan University. Presi- dent Miller took office in January 1961, after rich years of academic and fiscal experience in higher education and state government. From his experience in political science our President provides some measure of general participation in many campus issues by the students and faculty. Dr. Miller holds many conferences to which all students and faculty are invited to attend to discuss problems on Western ' s ever-growing campus. This last year Dr. Miller was one of a group of educational and business leaders invited by President Johnson to a meeting in Washington, where Dr. Miller recom- mended a program of assistantships and internships which would bring into the nation ' s system of higher education the talents and experiences of returned Peace Corps Volunteers. Through his activities, President Miller broadens educational opportunities to Western Michigan Uni- versity, to the nation and to foreign lands. Western must grow not only in size but also in attitude and example and this is all being done through the efforts of our President who is thinking ahead. 15
