Hauck as its president Fortunate, indeed, has it been for Maine, the University, and the state, that Dr. Hauck during this time has rejected other off ers and stayed with us. D uring his term the University has made great strides, in increased size, yes, and far more important in growth of prestige and influence. He has won wide admiration for his able administration of the University and its ever present financial problems height- ened by World War II. His have been real accomplishments, too many to detail here Few men could have withstood the pace at which Dr. Hauck has driven himself in his single aim of fostering the progress of the University. In his last Biennial Report, Dr. Hauck said that the pri mary concern of a University should be “to imbue its students with the virtues of the good citizen, to help them maintain the reverence that freedom-loving people have for the dignity of the individual, to school them in self-discipline, industry and integrity.” He has been a living inspiration of that philosophy to the students, the faculty, the alumni, and the State. It is with justifiable pride that alumni acknowledge their respect and admiration for Dr. Hauck and Mrs. Hauck, whose friendliness and unassuming dignity have become a tradition at Maine.
