During Dr. Wall's administration of the Graduate College, the University's reputation for the quality and scope of its research grew nationally and internationally. His election in 1961 to the Presidency of the Association of Graduate Schools of the Association of American Universities was a recognition both of his leadership and the increased eminence of the University's graduate and research program. The example of Dr. Wall's own scholarly work and his recognized insight into the merit of the work of others inspired confidence in his judgment in the decisions he was called upon to make as Chairman of the Research Board and in the appointments and awards for which he was primarily responsible. Hence, in executing his responsibilities, he encouraged the creative work of the faculty and enhanced their scholarly productivity. T h e University-wide fellowship competition and the program of faculty summer fellowships, now adopted and admitted by other universities, were instituted under Dean Wall's planning and administration.
