Except for the Nez Perce re­ treat in 1877, the Indian problem in western Montana was never grave. But as early as 1873, resi­ dents of Missoula requested a fort to defend them against the possi­ bility of an Indian break from the reservation. Fort Missoula was activated in 1877 and a detail under Capt. C. C. Rawn threw up a mud barri­ cade, now known as Ft. Fizzle, on the Lolo trail to head off Chief Joseph and his Nez Perce war­ riors. But Joseph skirted the “fort” by night and went on to win the Battle of the Big Hole. By GREYHOUHD

An important name in the field of science is Harold C. Urey ’17, winner of the Nobel prize for chemistry in 1934, and now in the institute for Nuclear Studies at the University of California. Urey remembers “that the magnificent wonders of science first were spread out before me in the class­ rooms of the University of Mon­ tana. Elrod and Bray in biology, Jesse, Bateman and Howard in chemistry.” A graduate of the home econom­ ics department, Mary Kimball ’29, is doing research on new foods and ingredients in the laboratory of Pillsbury Mills, Inc., in Minne­ apolis. She is also president of the Minnesota Home Economics association. Aline Mosby ’43, a journalism graduate, is in her eighth year of covering the Hollywood beat for United Press. Nowadays, she says, “a reporter is even required to swim. When RKO decided to stage the first underwater movie premiere at Silver Springs, Fla., in order to publicize a movie star­ ring Jane Russell, the studio hust­ led four plane loads of press men and women to the Florida resort for a big weekend . . . At ten at night, 24 of us shivering scribes donned big rubber foot flippers, bathing suits, face masks, water proof wristwatches, ballpoint pens, bathing caps, and heavy oxygen ta n k s.” A prominent graduate in the political field is Mike Mansfield, Senator from Montana. He grad­ uated from the University in 1934, and for nine years was a profes­ sor of Latin American and Far East history; Of his days at MSU, he says “they were among the happiest of my life. The student body was small and close then . . . I have always felt that Montana State University is one of the finest schools in the nation.” L e e M etca lf, Representative from Montana, is a graduate of the law class of 1936. He is married to another MSU graduate, Donna Hoover ’35, a former editor of the Sentinel, who was selected as Woman of the Year at Homecom­ ing four years ago.
