PRESIDENT Dr. William F. MacCalmont Westminster Choir College has been defined as the place where you meet the highest elements of a religious seminary, a liberal arts school and a conservatory of music. To define what it means to be President of such a unique institution would be an impossible task, for it involves such a myriad of tasks and responsibilities as to make it seem, at times, almost incongruous with itself. Dr. William F. MacCalmont, who assumed this position three years ago, upon the retirement of Dr. J. F. Williamson, founder of the college, has, together with other members of the Administration, faced the divergent problems of establishing the college as an institution in its own right, a job which he has and still is accomplishing with noted success. 14

DEAN Dr. C. Howard Hopkins Primary in the internal affairs of any scholastic institution is the office of Dean. On the capable shoulders of Dr. C. Howard Hopkins fall the responsibilities of faculty leadership, student guidance and curriculum maintenance and development. Despite the heavy load which this position implies plus various teaching duties, Dr. Hopkins finds time to take a personal interest in every aspect of student life. This is evidenced by his encouragement of ' the development of a stronger student government, his en¬ thusiasm concerning student publications, his prompt attention to various individual problems and his personal interest in the development and accomplishments of each- student, reflected in his attendance at recitals and other student affairs. A significant accomplishment made this year under the direction of Dr. Hopkins was the addition to the curriculum of a course in Music Education to be offered for the first time in the academic year, 1961-1962. 15
