CHARLES ARMSTRONG, P1-LD. Vice President of Whitman College Dr. Armstrong holds many positions on the Whitman cam- pus which give the President relief from the duties of internal administration. As Dean of the Faculty he is Chairman of the Faculty Council and presides at its meetings. Also as Dean he is chairman of the Board of Counselors and has supervisory authority over the Secretary of the Faculty. Administering the budget for all laboratories and faculty oflices is another job. Under the title of Vice President he is directly in charge of the different divisions and is their administrative and financial of- ficer. As Chairman of the Administrative Council, he is thereby the leader and co-ordinator of all phases of administrative ac- tivities. One of the most important things which held Dr. Arm- strong's interest this year was his membership on the steering committee of the Pacific Northwest Conference on Higher Ed- ucation. It consists of all the colleges and universities of five northwestern states and Alaska and British Columbia. With the theme of 'lHigher Education for an Expanding Popula- tion, it met on the University of Oregon campus the second weekend in March. Being in cooperation with two other associ- ations this conference proved to be one of the best ever. CHESTER COLLINS MAXEY, PI-LD., LL.D. President of Wlzitnian College Dr. Maxey graduated from Whitman College in 1914 with a B.A. and a lifetime membership to Phi Beta Kappa. He then secured his M.A. at the University of Wisconsin and later went to Columbia University for graduate worlc where he received his Ph.D. In 1931 he returned to Whitman to occupy the Miles C. Moore Chair of Political Science and in 1948 received the honor of becoming President of Whitman College. Since that date he has served in this capacity bringing ad- ditional credit and prestige to the College under his direction. Along with the ordinary routine administration which is always included in a college presidentis duties, there were many meetings for him to attend. Those which required much of his time were the Board of Trustees, Board of Overseers and the Regional Meeting of the Ovetseers. Besides being very active in the alumni group he was a prominent figure in the soliciting of funds. The continuation of the Collegeis expansion plan was still carried on this year. Many conferences were held concerning this problem and Dr. Maxey continued making speeches con- cerning the matter. Dr. Nlaxey was considered by all to be one of the best representatives of Whitinan College because his dig- nified manner and way of speaking quickly won the respect of all who have met him. ie-iris,-.,Q.s. ..,-... ,
