While the students and faculty of Western Maryland are busily creat- ing their own concentric circles and then frantically running around them, another individual is no less assiduous in his work in and for the college. Dr. Lowell S. Ensor is probably the man with the most diversi- fied set of projects and problems of anyone here. Unlike the rest of us, who are able to follow something resembling a routine, Dr. Ensor is steeped in a mass of various activities. The glimpses of him as a chapel speaker or as "the man with the last word" tend to distort the picture of the president as the representative of our school and as a sensitive individual. The man who knows almost all the students by name begins his work- day in the early morning silence of a carpeted office where he looks over his correspondence ... letters from industrial firms donating funds to supplement students' share of tuition, from the Carrol County Na- tional Bank, of which he is a director, or from members of his .eommittee on the problems of annexation in Westminster . . . a tele- phone call to Mr. Baggs about the expansion program ... another call to Washington . . . messages and appointments delivered by Miss Ohler ... a trip to Annapolis to testify in a hearing scheduled for three and begun by five-fifteen. On the way home there may be a speaking engagement or an oyster roast. Back on campus the faculty club meeting is a final obligation for a hectic day. That is the official Dr. Ensor. 169
