DEAN DR. JosEPH E. SMITH Dr. joseph E. Smith came to Youngstown University as a part-time in- structor in 1921. He was later appointed head of the Social Science Department and Dean of Men. In 1949 he assumed his present role as Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences and Dean of the University. The duties of Dean are time-consuming and varied. For instance, the re- cruitment and supervision of faculty personnel take a large part of his time. But he has always been understanding and friendly in spite of the difficulty of his tasks. Dr. Smith distinguished himself as an undergraduate. He was awarded a Rhodes Scholarship to Oxford University in London. He received his A.B. degree from Oxford, his A.M. from Nebraska University and his Ph.D. from Wallas College, London, England. 14

President Howard W. jones has been the leader of Youngstown University for twenty-seven years. He has worked tirelessly and effectively to guide the school to a more substantial position in the community. It would be impossible to list the multitude of things which President jones has achieved for the University in these twenty-seven years. Most important is the increase in its academic stature, only partly indicated by the University's acceptance in national organizations: the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary schools, the Department of Education of the State of Ohio, the American Medical Association, the A. A. U. W., and others. President Jones was also responsible for bringing the R.O.T.C. into the University, and inter- collegiate football was added to the sport's program early in his administration. President jones has been largely responsible for these achievements through his driving energy and administrative skill, and through it all he has never veered from his purpose of giving Youngstown a finer University. President Jones deserves the highest praise and gratitude from the student body on this twenty-seventh year of his guidance of the University. 13.
