Francis William Roys DEAN OF ENGINEERING DEAN OF ADMISSIONS AND OF STUDENTS CHAIRMAN OF THE FACULTY Jerome Willard Howe This year, especially, we pay tribute to the administration of the Institute. It has been a challenge to lead a small college through the many changes that W. P. I. has met during these war years, but the administration has accepted the challenge and has carried on splendidly. In July, at the beginning of our senior year, the Navy selected the Institute for the instruction of about 325 students, enlisted and enrolled as engineer specialist candidates, V-12. To complete arrangements for this change and to carry on the administration of the college has been a mammoth task. Disturbance at Worcester Tech has been slight; there has been no infusion of new teachers or administrators and the civilian students have been able to continue on a par with the students of the Naval Unit. We have been very fortunate that the V-12 Unit came to Tech and fitted into the routine with a minimum clashing of gears. Most of the credit goes to the faculty people we call the administration.
