Iohn Stauffer, who has so gra- ciously donated money for college de- velopment, is familiar to the students because of the Stauffer Lecture Laboratory on the campus. One that is well known to all is Richard M. Nixon who is a legal advisor to the college.

MacLean, another prominent citizen of Whittier, is the one who oversees the Hnancial problems of the college and always keeps an eye out to see that the college maintains a Hnancially sound basis.

Smith DEVELOPMENT IS ONE OF THE KEY WORDS in Dr. Paul S. Smith's administrational program as President of the College. Through the years that he has guided the college in this office, academic expansion has taken place, a typical example being the study program abroad in Copenhagen. Through his abilities as a salesman, Whittier College endowments have increased greatly. This is evident by the seven new buildings that are now on this campus and several more that are on the drawing board. In his spare time he has produced a biographical sketch of Richard M. Nixon which will appear in the 60th edition of the Encyclopedia Britannica. CHATTING, WITH STUDENTS during his morn- ing hours is one of the regular programs that Dr. Smith has instituted in order that he may get to know every type of student here at Whittier. His door is always open to any student. To some he is just a friendly person with whom they like to talk. With others, he has helped them out of problem situations. Dr. Smith also is very familiar to the student leaders of the college. Many hours are spent in aiding these leaders to bring harmony between students and administration.
