Administration

William Lowe Bryan

President-Emeritus William Lowe Bryan is a shining example of leadership of which Indiana University and the state of Indiana can be proud.

A native Hoosier, he was born in a frame farmhouse only two miles from Bloomington. Dr. Bryan entered Indiana University in 1880, receiving his A.B. degree in 1884 and his A.M. in philosophy in 1886. He served as an associate professor of Greek at I.U. for a year before doing graduate work in Germany and at Clark University, from which he was granted his Ph.D. in 1892.

He served for a time as vice-president of I.U. and was installed as the 10th president of Indiana University on January 23, 1902. He resigned on March 15, 1937, after serving as Indiana's president for 35 years—a truly remarkable record.

Although he is 95 years old, Dr. Bryan has remained active in Indiana's activities and in Bloomington civic affairs. The grand old man of Indiana—he has always stood for high ideals in the academic world. We are proud to have such an outstanding man in our University association.

Herman B Wells

When Herman B Wells took office as 1 1 th president of Indiana University, he was already well prepared for the vast responsibilities that were to be laid upon his shoulders. His academic training included education at the University of Illinois, I.U. and Wisconsin University. His business background began at the age of 13, when he went to work in a country bank in Jamestown, Ind. As adequate proof of his great abilities as a leader and educator, "Hermie" was selected by Durward Howes, editor of "America's Young Men," as one of the nation's ten outstanding young men of 1939.

During World War II, in addition to his duties at I.U., President Wells served with the U.S. State Department in various capacities. Since then, his responsibilities on and off campus have become exceedingly heavy. In 1945, he was consultant to the U.S. Delegation at the San Francisco Conference for the American Council of Education and in 1949, he was appointed chairman of the Commission on Occupied Areas.

Being a man who looks to the future, President Wells has made plans to take care of the growing enrollment so that every student will have an equal chance to obtain a superior education in the special field of his own choice.

Board of Trustees

The board is composed of eight members hailing from all sections of the state. The Governor of Indiana appoints five of the members, who are recommended by the State Board of Education. The remaining three are elected by Indiana University Alumni.

Counseling

Individual attention is not divorced from Indiana as a result of being a large institution. The task of working with each and every student's problem is done by the counseling division, which is headed by the Dean of the Junior Division, and the Dean and Assistant Dean of Students. Each student is welcomed to conferences with his adviser, who usually is one of Indiana's instructional staff.

This efficient organization lends to the destruction of the theory that the individual is forgotten when he is attending a large university. The faculty involved in the counseling division are well oriented to their important positions, and the program has been carried out effectively ever since its introduction to the university.

To the Faculty...

The instructor or professor goes to work early in the morning and often stays late at night. He brings his family to Bloomington, buys or rents a residence, and raises his family here. His hours are full of lectures, grading papers, and conferences. He attends University functions and acts as an adviser or chaperon to our activities.

The students rarely realize all that Indiana University is to this person. He works and lives here. He plays bridge and sends Christmas cards like anyone else. His job is to help teach us in preparation for our own future occupations.

Good night Sir
