South Dakota State University Journal of Undergraduate Research Volume II • 2004 SDSU FOREWORD A number of years ago, it was my pleasure to work with the National Inventor's Hall of Fame.The buildingwhichhousedthe displays of the award winners' workwaslocated adjacent to the campus of the University of Akron, whereI was President. Duringthe week of festivities whichled to the presentation of the winners, thoseof us on the campus had the opportunity to hearmanyof the honorees speak andto have discussions with them. Theinventors were always particularly interested in speaking with students andleaming whatthings interested them. Theyalways askedthe students whether or not theywere engaged in research themselves. Sinceoftenthe students were, lively exchanges took place and good contacts for future discussions were made.
