Show GOVERNOR GEORGE D. CLYDEGeorge Dewey Clyde, "The man with the Plan," emerged victorious in his bid for gubernatorial re-election. Approval of financial appropriations and appointments to the board of regents were his primary concern to the university. He consistantly applied forceful determination and strong leadership in expanding and improving the university. The Governor's interest in higher education has manifest itself in the wide prestige accorded the University of Utah during his term in office.PRESIDENT A. RAY OLPINWith the continued growth of the University of Utah, the responsibilities of its president vary. Problems which confronted the predecessors of Dr. A. Ray Olpin now seem remote and unrelated to the University in 1961. Maintaining sufficient enrollment and funds necessary to the operation of a university were the major worries of the first president. Today, President A. Ray Olpin encounters a different challenge. The responsibility of offering to the individual that education which will best help him become an integrated part of his community, socially and economically, has gained importance with the growing emphasis on specialization. Increased demands for technical and scientific leaders contribute additional responsibilities. With an awareness of these duties, keeping ever alert to progress, President Olpin has filled his office for the year '60 -'61.18 |
