Times Bloomington Correspondent BLOOMINGTON, Nov. 4—The inauguration of Herman B. Wells as 11th president of Indiana Uni-
~ versity some time before the first of the year will be, at his own
request, a “simple family ceremony.” - : Ak Soon after school resumed “this
fall, President Wells announced | that the $2500 set aside by the | - University trustees for.a formal
inauguration would be devoted instead to the field of research “where much can be done with benefit to the University and dn. service to the people of Indiana.” He was unwilling,” he said, that “ceremony and pageantry” should consume funds needed for “vital and urgent functions.” Friends of Mr. Wells know how sincere he is in this unprecedented action, but they also know. that
. an additional reason lies behind” it.
This youngest of major University presidents dislikes “pomp-and pageantry” in general, but most particularly when he is the center of it. President Since March
At 35, he was named president
last March 22, but he made no .| . formal appearance before the stu-
dent body until May 4. And then - he took to the rostrum only to introduce Wendell L. Willkie of Commonwealth and Southern as “principal speaker for Foundation Day exercises. It was September before he donned cap and gown again to -welcome new students at the beginning of the current school year. He led the students in an oath of allegiance—and President Emeritus William Lowe Bryan gave the principal address. The young president’s speeches are almost always brief; nevertheless he is considered one of the ‘best speakers in the country and is in constant demand. Bankers’ ‘meetings, business conventions, “civic and women’s groups and besiege him with invitations to lecture, President Wells prefers to contact his students through in‘formal personal meetings. “Then both of us may talk,” he says. : Tuesday Student Day ©
Consequently, every Tuesday afternoon is student day. Students m#ty go to the president’s office without appointment to confer with Mr. Wells on any subject of their choosing. “This period is one in which students take precedence over all others—visitors from out of town, faculty and even deans and administration,” he explains. “During this time, with or without appointments, as long as they will come the time is theirs. “No student need leave Indiana University after four years without warm, personal friendships with - those of us under whose guidance his academic interests lie.” Usually, during these “chats,”
the president deserts his big, | formal desk, and lie and the stu- |
dent pull up easy chairs before a large window through which they may look out over the campus. Students have been quick to take advantage of his offer. He has had an average of a dozen callers for each conference afternoon. He might have many more, but the president does not

consider a handshake a conference. . His fondness for simplicity is evident in several other ways. He drives a low-priced car. For relaxation he retires to his picturesque cabin in Brown County near Nashville. He owns a farm near that of his father in Boone County. A bachelor, President Wells lives in the old Woodburn home with Sam Gabriel, campus clothing store proprietor. The house is a quaint old-timer, part of it being built as early as 1831. It is furnished with cherry and - mahogany antiques from Hoosier pioneer homes. Some of the furnishings have been brought to Bloomington from estates of the
“Antique rugs, paintings, silver ware and china also serve to refiect a hohby which prompted a wag at the recent bankers’ conference here to remark: “Digging in the files. to inspect bank notes during tht moratorium was right down Herman Wells’ alley.” ;
Pals Since High School
Mr. Gabriel and President Wells have been close friends since their high school days in Lebanon. Mr. Gabriel's store is located just across the street from his “roommate's” office in the Administratic 1 Building. ¢ he year in which William Lowe Bryan wads inaugurated as

His father must have been somewhat impressed, because at

bank. hn After graduation from Lebanon High School, young Herman attended the University of Illinois one year, then changed to Indiana University, where he received the Bachelor of Science degree in 1924.
Three years - later he was awarded the Master of Arts degree here, and he continued his studies at the University of Wisconsin. co While in school here Mr. Wells was, among other things, .business manager of the Red Book, student directory; treasurer of the Union Board, Y. M. C. A. cabinet member, member of Blue Key, Beta Gamma Sigma, Alpha Kappa Psi and Kappa Kappa Psi, the latter being direct. proof of his ability as a horn-tooter in the University band. : Fellow students say that he didn’t allow his banking practice to lag while he was on the campus. If it was a short-term loan you wanted, Herman Wells was the fellow to see. ?
. .Sometime after .leaving school he became field secretary for the Indiana Bankers Association. In 1930 he' returned here as profes sor of economics. Three years later he’ left again to become a
ment of Financial Institutions, a position in which he won national ‘recognition through his drafting of special bank legislation. Back on the campus in 1935, he
became dean of the Business Ad-
ministration school and two years
