R ev. John A. Elbert, S.M., assumed the duties of president of the University of Da y ton following the annual appointments of members of the Society of Mary in A ugust, 1938. At the same time his predecessor, Very Rev. Walter C. Tredtin , S.M. , was e levated to the position of provincial of the Cincinnati pro v i nce, to which the U of D belongs.

Th e formal inauguration of Father Elb e rt in December marked the first time in th e his to r y of the university that a president was inducted into office with full aca d emi c pomp and splendor. On this occasion Father Elbert received the h omage a nd fe licitation of many delegates who had assembled for this purpose from the leadin g institutions of hi gher l earning and learned soci e ties in this country

Father E l be rt has shown hims e lf k eenl y aware of the dangers threatening present-day edu cation and adheres strongly to th e b e lief that democracy errs in seeking to ove rthrow th e po sition of education as the ari s tocracy of the intellect. Being a ge nuin e " mixer ," h e has won the admiration of faculty and students alike Con tinuin g the task b eg un by his predecessor in building a " Greater Univers it y of Da y ton, " he announc e d late in February the establishment of a graduate sch o ol in education and Engli sh , enabling the university to offer master's deg r ees in th es e fi eld s .

For the past 15 years Rev. George J. Renneker, S.M., has held the positions of vice-president, registrar and dean of men at the University of Dayton. He has held his posts through the reign of three presidents.

Father Renneker's friendly advice on curricular and extra-curricular problems has been invaluable to the students. His philosophy as an educator distinguishes him as a conservative "never catering to passing academic fads at the sacrifice of the truest and best in traditional standards and proven methods."
