I I (FOR IMMEDIATE REIEASE) • t Minneapolis --- A nine-man University of Minnesota geology expedition,
headed by geologist Campbell Craddock, will leave for Antarctica this month to
conduct studies of two unexplored mountain ranges in eastern Marie Byrd Land.
The party will leave from Washington, D. C., Oct. 23 and will return March 1.
The expedition is financed by an $85,080 grant to the University from the
National Science Foundation's United States Antarctic Research program to conduct
a study of bedrock and glacial geology in eastern Antarctica. This year's project
is a continuation of a University expedition made in 1959-60.
While Craddock, an associate professor of geology, is on fall and winter
quarter leave, his classes will be taught by E. K. Walton, visiting assistant
professor from the University of Edinborough, ScoUand.
Second in command to Craddock on the expedition will be Robert H. Rutford,
University graduate student in geology. Other University members of the group will
include Dr. Raymond C. Bonnabeau, Jr., resident fellow in surgery, the expedition's
physician, and geology graduate students Thomas W. Bastien, 4335 Lyndale ave., S.,
Minneapolis; Thomas P. Miller, Duluth; Paul G. Schmidt, Granite Falls; John F.
I Splettstoesser, Waconia; and Gerald F. Webers, Racine, Wis. Ninth member will be ~ : a surveyor from the United States Geological Survey. Splettstoesser and Miller
will leave ahead of the rest of the group on Oct. 10.
Craddock's party wi.ll be flown from Washington to Christ Church, New Zealand,
by the Military Air Transport service. From there Navy planes will take the group
to the main Antarctic base at McMurdo Sound, then on to Byrd station in the
interior.
(MORE) • w
ANTARCTICA EXPEDITION - 2 - The University scientists will spend the first two months of the expedition
surveying an unnamed mountain range discovered on last year's expedition headed by
Craddock and Edward C. Thiel, research associate at the University of Wisconsin
Antarctic Research center. (Thiel will join the University of Minnesota faculty
on Jan. 1).
The group will be flown to the mountains, located on the Eights Coast, by
Navy ski plane from Byrd Station. , ~ Late in December, the party will be transferred to the Sentinel Mountains, I largest unvisited mountain ohain in the world. Sighted in 1929, the 100-mile
mountain range has peaks rising to 15,000 feet out of the ice cap, which is 1,000
to 4,000 feet above sea level. An overland expedition tried to reach the mountains
in 1958-59, but huge crevasses in the surrounding glacial ice forced the party
to turn back.
Craddock's party will install a semi-pennanent base camp in the foothills
of the mountains and conduct reconnaissance in preparation for a complete study of
the area to be made next year.
Both mountain camps will be more than ;00 miles from any other human beings.
Only contact with the outside world will be by radio. Temperatures during the
Austral summer, which w.i.ll be starting when Craddock's party arrives in the
~ Antarctic, will range down to 40 to .50 degrees below zero. Overall objective of the expedition's studies will be to detennine the
relation of these unexplored Antarctic mountains to the Andes in South America and
to throw further light on a theory that the Antarctic was once part of
Gondwanaland, a continental land mass comprised of Antarctica, South Africa,
India, Australia and Brazil.

(FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE)
Minneapolis Two of the University of Minnesota's foremost medical educators and scientists were recipients of the first Distinguished Service Awards of the Minnesota Medical Foundation given Monday, Sept. 26, 1960, in ceremonies at the University's medical school-.
Dr. Maurice B. Visscher and Dr. Owen H. Wangensteen were honored by surprise with certificates and accompanying awards which will pay them each $.5 ,000 annually until retirement.
The awards, made possible by contributions to the Foundation from two
Minneapolis foundations, were presented by Dr. Herman E. Drill, Foundation president, during the annual Minnesota Medical Foundation Day ceremonies.
Drs. Visscher and Wangensteen were cited "for exemplary achievement in teaching and research as members of the faculty of the University of Minnesota medical school, and for steadfast devotion to the medical school. the University and to medical education".
The grants, and similar ones which the Foundation hopes to provide in the future, Dr. Drill said, are an effort to strengthen the medical faculty and to reward distinguished performance in medical teaching.
Dr. Visscher, 59, has been head of the University's department of physiology since 1936. His award was made possible by a grant from the Modern Medicine
Publications Foundation, charitable arm of Modern Medicine pUblications. The firm publishes five medical journals from its Minneapolis headquarters and decentralized operations in Great Britain, Canada and Australia.
Dr. Wangensteen' s award was a contribution of the Phillips Foundation of
Minneapolis. He is 62 years old and has been chairman of the University of
Minnesota's department of surgery since 1930.
Normal retirement age for faculty members is 68 years.
(MORE) MEDICAL AWARDS - 2 - University President O. Meredith Wilson, principal speaker at the
Minnesota Medical Foundation Day ceremonies, lauded the support of private
contributors to the medical school. He said he would recommend the Distinguished ~ ~ Service awards be designated Distinguished Service Professorships by the
University's Board of Regents, thus heightening the honor by affording full
academic recognition. This was accomplished a week later.
Dr. Visscher was graduated from the University of Minnesota medical school
in 1931, and served at academic posts at the Universities of Tennessee, Southern
California and illinois in succeeding years. He is a native of Holland, Mich.,
and is a graduate of Hope college in that city. He did graduate study in London
and at the University of Chicago. He received the doctor of philosophy degree from the University of Minnesota.
He is a member of the National Academy of Sciences, and is recognized among the world's top physiologists.
Dr. Wangensteen earned his medical degree from Minnesota in 1922. He
became a resident surgeon at the University in 1925 and was named chairman of the
department of surgery in 1930, becoming a full professor in 1931. Under his
leadership, the department of surgery has won international recognition for
pioneering work in surgical treatment for peptic ulcer, bowel obstruction, cancer

Amberg said the University Hospitals anticipate a comparable level of
operation in 1960-61.
IIOperating costs will continue to rise, and the increase must be met by an
appropriate increase in charges," he said.
Amberg also pointed out that a shortage of skilled hospital personnel
continues to exist, accounted for by many factors including increased demand
for hospital services, widespread hospital construction and the constant increase
in new and better medical techniques.
"While every effort will be made to recruit additional school personnel,
more emphasis must be placed upon the better utilization of our existing staff,"
he declared.

ground for more than 500 medical students in addition to more than 900 student
medical technologists, nurses, X-ray technologists, physical and occupational

(FOR IMMEDIATE RElEASE)
A National Science Foundation grant of $44,400 for support of basic research on "Periodically Fluctuating Air Flows at low Reynolds Numbers" has been awarded to the University of Minnesota.
The three-year grant will be directed by August R. Hanson, aeronautical engineering assistant professor.

Ten drawings from the late work of Arshile Gorky, representative of the

Northrop Memorial auditorium from Oct. 27 to Dec. 2.
The drawings, lent to the University gallery by the Sidney Janis gallery,
New York, will be on view in the Seminary gallery, at the East end of the third

Drawing was second nature to Gorky, according to the Janis gallery
catalogue forword accompanying the show. Almost invariably one could find him
sketching on whatever paper was at hand, in his studio, at restaurants, while
visiting friends -. "always,1I he would say, "keeping my hand inn. The circumstances
under which he worked at times may have been informal, even casual, but his approach
was always serious, and his mastery of line became a telling factor as his
imagery matured.
The years of continual drawing had a powerful cumulative effect upon his
work. In the last period, especially, there was a reciprocal play between his
drawings and paintings, bringing to the latter a significant linear quality and
to the drawings, the plasticity of his paintings. This pictorial interplay enriched his work in both media.
The University gallery exhibitions are open from 9 a. m. to 4:30 p. m. schooldays, and during concert intermissions•

-UNS- UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA NEWS SERVICE--214 ADM. BIDG. MINNEAPOLIS 14, MINNESOTA FEderal 2-8158 EXT. 6700 OCTOBER 24, 1960 RAIlllAY MEN COOPERATE IN U. OF M. HEART DISEASE RESEARCH PROJECT
(FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE)
Minneapolis -- Thousands of railway men, examined in laboratories installed in t'WO traveling Pullman cars, have been playing an important part in
University of Hinnesota research that may eventually give some answers to questions puzzling scientists about heart disease, the nation's leading cause of death.
Preliminary findings indicate that men who hold sedentary jobs may be more susceptible to coronary heart disease than those in jobs calling for greater physical activity.
The findings were reported in St. louis, Mo., Sunday (Oct. 2) by Professor
Henry L. Taylor of the University' 5 Laboratory of Physiological Hygiene at the annual scientific sessions of the American Heart association. Professor Taylor heads a team of University researchers making the railroad workers study, which is partially supported by a grant from the American Heart association.
Railroads whose employees were examined: Chicago Burlington & Quincy;
Chicago Great Western; Chicago Northwestern; Chicago River & Indiana; Indiana
Harbor Belt Railroad; Great Northern Railway; Milwaukee Road; Northern Pacific;
Minnesota Transfer; Rock Island Lines; St. Louis & San Francisco Railway; Southern
Pacific; and Western Pacific Railraod.
The two Pullman cars were supplied by Great Northern and Rock Island Lines.
Helpful statistics about employees was furnished by the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway co.; Duluth, Missabe and Iron Range Railway; Minneapolis and St. Louis Railway co.; and Spokane, Portland and Seattle Railway System.
(MORE) RAILWAY HEART STUDY - 2 -
The research included a study of the frequency in railway clerks and switchmen
of overweight, obesity, elevated blood pressure and cholesterol (a fatlike
substance) in the blood. All these factors are in question as possible causes
contributing to atherosclerosis, a form of arteriosclerosis or hardening of the
arteries. Strokes, heart attacks and other serious or fatal conditions may
result from atherosclerosis.
Professor Taylor has also been looking for answers to questions such as
these: Is lack of exercise and the increasing use of machinery, replacing 'WOrk
done by men, a factor in the all-too-frequent occurrence of coronary heart disease
in American males? How do physical build, personality and eating habits of men who hold desk jobs differ from those of physically active men? How do the bodies
of the sedentary and the active men differ in handling cholesterol, the smoking
habit, etc.? Do people who choose physically active jobs differ from people who
stay in sedentary ones?
Railway workers were selected for study involving these questions for three
reasons. They usually remain on their jobs for a long time, which allows for
investigating the possible bearing of job conditions on the heart and arteries.
They provide a good cross section of three distinctly different types of work,
namely, physically active (as in the case of section men), sedentary (olerks and
train dispatchers) and supervisory (exeoutives were included in the group
examined, as the researchers wished to consider the possibility that job
responsibility affects the development of coronary disease). Long-term records
of railway personnel are readily available from the Railroad Retirement Board.
Beginning in 1956, clerks and switchmen between the ages of 40 and 59, with
at least 10 years service on their jobs, were examined and interviewed. Questions like, ''What did you eat during the last 24 hours?" and ''How muoh do you walk each
day?" were asked. Physical examinations were given in two Pullman cars converted into laboratories, housing diagnostic equipment - electrocardiagraphs, an X-ray unit, treadmill and a chemical lab. (MORE) ~- - --l -- - I
RAIINlAY HEART STUDY - 3 -
The first "passengers" came abroad at LaCrosse, Wisc. From there, the
heart laboratory train covered a unique route over 12 railroads and into 32
cities, mostly hitching a ride on a night freight that happened to be going its
way. Its windows were dark and no one was aboard until the lab train reached its
new destination. On its travels, nearly 3,000 men were examined, interviewed
and re.examined.
Another part of the study concerning sedentary and more physically active
subjects is purely statistical. This analysis of death rates of three groups of
railroad men (Whose occupations required light, moderate and heavy physical
activity) was also reported at the American Heart Association sessions. Age-
adjusted figures showed death rates from arteriosclerotic heart disease during
1955 and 1956 in these men to be twice as high for clerks as for section men (5.76
per thousand for clerks, compared with 2.79 for section men and 3.87 for switchmen).
Taylor reported that clerks as a group do not bring to their jobs "an
undue proportion of personal characteristics (obesity, high blood pressure and
cholesterol) that have been linked to increased incidence of coronar,y heart
disease."
Data thus far collected is tentative but seems to support the concept that
less coronary heart disease exists among men holding jobs that require moderate
or heavy physical activity, and that this apparent difference in coronary heart
disease cannot be explained by personal characteristics of clerks as compared to
switchmen. 1-'luch of the collected data has not so far been analyzed but will be
presented by Taylor at a later date.

~FOR RELEASE AFTER 9 A.M. THURSDAY 2 OCT. 27 t 1960)
Minneapolis -- A University of Minnesota economist predicted Thursday
(Oct. 27) that the need for welfare programs will be as great 10 years from now as it is today despite a 50 per cent increase anticipated in the nation's economic growth.
"Important as is the economic component in influencing man's well-being•••• even an economic Utopia would still leave many problems of human welfare, tl John G.
Turnbull, economics professor, told a group of county welfare board directors at the University's Center for Continuation Study on the Minneapolis campus.
Turnbull spoke on "Economic Change and Welfare Problems" at the opening session of the annual two-day training institute for welfare officials.
He cited predictions of another University economist, Professor Walter W.
Heller, that the nation's gross national product will increase by 50 per cent to
$750 billion in 1970.
IIThis would mean the annual personal income of American families will average more than $8,500, compared to the 1959 average of $6,500,'/ Turnbull said.
"These are averages, II he added. "By 1970, the well-to-do should improve their position. So should the poor. Yet, poverty is not readily eradicated by economic growth; poverty is persistent, and some types are resistant, almost impervious, to prosperity.1I
Based on projected growth rates, Turnbull predicted the ratio of the nation's population which falls into the low-income category (below $2,500 family income) will drop from the current one-fifth to 14 per cent in 1970 and to 10 per cent in
1977.
(MORE) ------_._...- ---
UNIVERSITY ECONOMIST - 2 - ''But this still leaves a 'hard core' of poverty, which for at least a quarter of a century will demand the attention of persons in the professions represented here," Turnbull told the institute participants.
Turnbull further conjectured that while economic growth may cut down the number of unemployed, "peopl e will still retire, there will still be transitional unemployment, industrial accidents will still occur".
"Such a program as old.-age assistance probably will continue to decrease in relative importance; conversely, present gaps as in illness protection, will increasingly be filled by formalized programs, fI he said.
Turnbull asserted that "society proVides for the economically insecure through incre'asingly formalized methods, whether these be public or private".
Thus, he predicted Ilby 1970, a relative increase in the economic security role of the federal goverrunent and possibly some relative growth in service as against income programs, despite the greater freedom of choice the latter provides".
The institute for county welfare board directors will continue through
Friday (Oct. 28), which will be devoted to discussions and workshops on the effect of a connnunity's industrial development on county welfare programs.
Speakers include University faculty members and representatives of the
Minnesota Association of Directors of County Welfare Boards and the Minnesota
Department of Public Welfare, which are co-sponsoring the institute with the University.

While some of the prints are in what has become known as the traditional
Japanese style, the majority are completely contemporary in color, design and feeling. Outstanding in the "traditionalll style is a more than life-sized black and white portrait of Nichiren, founder of the Hokke sect of Buddhism, and a number of conventional "flower and tree" patterns in both color and black and white. One large vividly colored print by T. Ono is marked as the winner of the International Block Print Exhibition in Tokyo in 1959.
Edward M. Copeland, Slavic language instructor at the University and
Japanese art and language authority, in previewing the prints, said the exhibition is one of the finest in quality and quantity that he has seen outside of Japan. The exhibition will be open free to the public during school hours weekdays and during concert intermissions.

NATIONAL SCIENCE GRANTS OF $56,400 GO TO 3 AT 'u'
(FOR IMMEDIATE REIEASE)
Three University of Minnesota faculty members, Robert F. Lambert, Hugh L. Turrittin and William Garland, recently received National Science Foundation research grants and fellowship awards totalling $56,400. Awards to the latter two provide for study in foreign countries. Professor Lambert of the electrical engineering department is the recipient of a $44,300 renewal-grant for the continuation of support of basic research on tlSound Propagation in Moving Media". The grant, effective for two years, is concerned, according to Professor Lambert, "with studying sounds buried in noise created by moving fluids such as air and water". This research is being done at the University. According to Professor Lambert, this "listening through noise" has commercial as well as militar,y uses such as sonar submarine detection and noise abatement in aircraft and missiles. In the field of noise reduction, he said, "we've reached the point now where our ability to create noise exceeds our ability to eliminate it".
Professor Turrittin of the institute of technology mathematics department has been awarded a $7,600 grant for basic research on "Ordinar,y Differential Equations". The work will be carried on at the University of Vienna and at the Vienna Institute of Technology, Turrittin said. Timing of the grant -- Dec. 15,
1961 to July 15, 1962 -- will enable him to present a paper before the International Mathematical Congress in Stockholm, Sweden, in August 1962. Professor and Mrs. Turrittin will leave for Europe in June 1961.
(MORE) NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION GRANTS - 2 -
Garland, anthropology teaching assistant, received a $4,500 NSF fellowship for advanced study and research in the Foundation's post-doctoral fellowship program. The fellowship, in addition to the $4,500 annual stipend, provides an allowance for dependents and a limited allowance to aid in defraying the cost of travel to the site selected for the research - in this case, Tanganyika, Africa. Though the fellowship was granted to Garland at the University of Minnesota, he will remain on the campus only until he receives the doctor of philosophy degree in the summer of 1961. He then will leave for South Africa to carry on his anthropological research over a period of two or more years. A $3,700 Public Health Service research grant conferred by the National Institute of Mental Health has made it possible for Garland to complete the work for the doctor's degree before leaving for Africa. In Tanganyika, Garland will wrk on the general ethnography (a description of a people and its culture) of a specific tribe in the mountainous section of the eastern coastal section.

lithe best-publicized new ideas on teaching are coming from outside the profession," Alexander Frazier, director of The Ohio State university's center
for school experimentation, told Minnesota school officials and curriculum
directors at the University of Minnesota's Center for Continuation Study.
Frazier keynoted the seventh annual institute of the Minnesota Association of
Supervision and Curriculum Development.
He cited educational television, audio-visual aids and teaching machines
as examples of innovations which have been "called to the attention" of
educators by industry, military training programs and other sources.
"Unless we are able to see the teaching program as flexible," Frazier warned the educators, tlwe are liable to lose our leadership in developing new
ideas to semi-professional or lay people who do have less fixed ideas.
llThe only way to make sure we have professional leadership," he added,
"is to be equally inventive on our own terms•••• We have to take the lead
if we want to promote better learning and to protect ourselves from ill-founded but well-promoted lay proposals.:J
Frazier said television and other electronic aids to education "have their uses", but teachers have to make sure "these things are put to legitimate
educational use and are used in terms of learning".

The exhibition, open through the first week in December, is part of the Private Press collection from the Walter library's Russell Room, according to James Kingsley, Jr., chief of the librar,y's special collections. John Baskerville's editions of Milton, Addison and Congreve, dated as early as 1758, show Baskerville's answer to his personal dissatisfaction with "modern" printing methods: after designing and casting his own new type face (still much favored by today's "most-modern" printers) he designed elaborate improvements upon the then-existing printing presses, developed a new "wovenli type of paper (again, extensively used today), and produced his own ink. Sir Horace Walpole's famous Strawberry-Hill imprint is found on the books in one case -- with that of Dr. Henry Daniel's Daniel Press in an adjoining case. Identifying cards point out that the Daniel Press used the type faces of Dr. Fell, of the "I do not like thee, Dr. Fell" limerick farne. Of William Morris and his Kelmscott Press (ciroal891) Kingsley says, "By reviving an interest in good printing and the book arts generally, Morris created a new era in bookmakingu. The books making up this special exhibition, as well as the thousands of other rare and unusual books owned by the Walter library may be viewed during librar,y hours by contacting Kingsley at the library. -UNS- UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA NEWS SERVICE--2l4 ADM.

Edwin L. Haislet, director of alumni relations, who returned Wednesday (Nov. 30) from Pasadena, Calif., reports that the hotel reservation situation throughout the area is already IItight" and that by the end of December unprepared travelers will find it almost impossible to make satisfactory room arrangem~nts • Many hotels, he said, require guests to make reservations for a minimum of five nights. Many also require guests to participate in hotel-sponsored programs such as Rose Bowl or New Year's eve parties. "In many cases there simply are no rooms available, with or without strings attached, II Haislet said. uThe public should be aware of these problems. Il He suggested that fans who plan to see the Rose Bowl football game on Jan. 2 and have neither tickets nor hotel reservations look into the official tour which is being sponsored by the University Alumni association. liThe special tours, which are open to the public as well as to alumni, assure, for the participants' convenience and protection, a ticket to the game, transportation to and from California, and hotel acconnnodations, as well as provision for details such as parade reservations and transportation to and from the game itself, 'I Haislet said. ''Whichever way you plan to go, it cannot be emphasized too strongly that plans must be made well in advance or you're going to find lots of thorns in those roses,ll he added.

NO 'u' BOWL FEderal 2-8158 EXT. 6700 TICKETS ALLOTTED DECEMBER 20, 1960 TRAVEL AGENCIES (FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE) Minneapolis The University of Minnesota made no allotment of Rose Bowl tickets to commercial travel agencies, Stanley J. Wenberg, chairman of the University's Rose Bowl committee, said today in a statement explaining the school's ticket distribution. ''We needed desperately to protect our entire allotment for our own University of Minnesota constituencies and this we have sought to do to the best of our ability, Ii he declared. Wenberg, University vice president and administrative assistant, said "the problem of assigning the University's allotment of almost 17,000 tickets -- with a large number of prior commitments made through Western Conference procedures ~stablished across the years of this Rose Bowl relationship -- was an almost ~ssib1e assignmentII • A fixed number of tickets was placed in each of five categories -- student, staff, benefactor, alumni and season ticket purchaser of at least three years' record. "This guaranteed that someone in each of these categories would receive tickets, II Wenberg said. "Our problem of assigning student tickets,II he added, "was compounded by the fact that while we have over 22,000 students on the Minneapolis and St. Paul campuses, we have additional thousands of students in night school, in the University High school, at the Schools of Agriculture around the state and at Morris and Duluth. ''We sought, therefore, as fair a principle as we could conceive of, and adopted the principle that a student to be eligible for a •student Rose Bowl ticket' must also be eligible to buy one of our own season athletic tickets. That we felt was a fair principle, particularly in view of the very difficult problem we were faced with in meeting the requests of everyone who could fairly be considered eligible to apply for a ticket." Wenberg said he thought Ike Armstrong, athletic director, and Marsh tnT. Ryman, business manager of athletics, and "our entire athletic ticket office staff are to be cmllIUended for the superb job they have done in trying to meet the very difficult conditions under which any such Rose Bowl ticket allocation and distribution system fl must operate • Ryman is chairman of the University's Rose Bowl ticket sub-committee.

The first of these songs was a piece written for the 1904 class pl~, which ti came to be the official University and state hymn, "Hail, Minnesota • A senior student and member of the band, Truman E. Rickard, wrote the music and collaborated with the Rev. E. W. Shurtleff, to write the words. The piece was sung in the pl~ and later that year at commencement exercises. It found great favor with the students, and the next year it was taken up again -- but with one change. President Cyrus Northrop requested that a new second verse, which was dedicated to him, be replaced by a verse written by poet Arthur Upson, who was a student at the University at that time and later a member of the English faculty. Later, 'lHail, Hinnesotatl was adopted as the official University hymn. Today it is played at half-time ceremonies for Gopher home football games, at commencement exercises and other academic events and at state functions. It Minnesota, hail to thee! Hail to thee, our college dear! Thy light shall ever be A beacon bright and clear; Thy sons and daughters true Will proclaim thee near and far; They will guard thy fame And adore thy name; Thou shalt be their Northern Star. 11 Like the stream that bends to sea, Like the pine that seeks the blue, Minnesota, still for thee, Thy sons are strong and true. From thy 'WOods and waters fair, From thy prairies waving far, At thy call they throng, With their shout and song, Hailing thee their Northern Star." GOPHER SONGS - 2 - Next came liThe Minnesota Rouser';. In 1909, the Minneapolis Tribune, noting that the Gophers had no football fight song, sponsored a contest inviting original compositions to be submitted as entries. The winning entry was a song called "Minnesota, Hats Off to Theel', written by Floyd M. Hutsell, Minneapolis vocal teacher and choir director. The paper gave Hutsell a $100 prize for his composition and turned the song over to the University band. The song, later l known as liThe Minnesota Rouser: , has become the most famous and most-played of the Minnesota football songs. CHORUS flMinnesota, hats off to thee! To thy colors true we shall ever be; Firm and strong, united are we, Rah! Rah! Rah! for Sku-U-Hah! Rahl Rah! Rah! Rahl Rah! for the U. of M.:! The years that followed saw the composition of numerous University songs for all occasions, from commencement to football Ufight songs~l. The most popular of ll these was liThe Minnesota lfarch , which was added to the roll of Gopher melodies in 1927. Students and alumni back in the 1920's decided the University needed a football march. When John Philip Sousa, the famous bandmaster and composer, came to Minneapolis in 1926 to give a concert, a committee from the University asked him to write a march for the school. He promised to do so and wrote the IIlUsic a few months later. Michael U. Jalma, University band director, wrote the words and "The Minnesota 11arch'l was introduced in the fall of 1927. The song, along with the 'Rouser', is still played today at Minnesota football games. ''March on, March on to victory, Loyal sons of varsity, Fight on, Fight on for l-'Iinnesota, For the glory of the old Maroon and Gold. March on, }larch on to win today, Down the field, fighting every play We're with you team, Fighting team! . Hear our song, we cheer along To help you win a victory.n CHORUS "Rahl Rahl Ski-U-Mah (twice) Rahl Rahl Rahl (twice)" GOPHER SONGS - J - Some fans thought I1The Hinnesota Marchll should substitute for 'lThe Minnesota Rouseru as the l'official:1 football fight song, but the earlier piece persisted. Today, when the Golden Gophers cross their opponent's goal line, it means it is time for the University Marching Band to strike up with: ll ''Minnesota, hats off to thee••••• • -UNS- UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA NE\'1S SERVICE MINNEAPOLIS 14, MINNESOTA DECEMBER, 1960 KAY M.

DECEMBER, 1960 MEET PRESIDENT O. MEREDITH WILSON OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA Scholar, administrator and historian---President O. Heredith Wilson of the University of Minnesota answers to all of these descriptions. President Wilson will be inaugurated as ninth chancellor of the University of Minnesota on the University's annual Charter Day, Feb. 2), marking the school's 110th birthday. President Wilson took office at Hinnesota last July 1, after six years as head of the University of Oregon and a distinguished career as teacher and historian. In the words of his predecessor, J. L. Morrill, President Wilson brought to Minnesota Ilenviable and distinguished intellectual and administrative leadership;l. He was selected by the University Board of Regents to fulfill the qualifications expressed by Board chairman Ray J• Quinlivan when the Regents began their search for a new president: "We want a man who has great administrative ability and who has scholastic stature. ll President Wilson was named to the Minnesota post by the Regents after an extensive search by a special sub-committee of the board and a faculty consultative committee. The committees considered some 170 candidates from the nation's leading educational institutions before making their final choice. When President Wilson left Oregon, Dean Charles Duncan of the school of journalism at the West Coast school said of him: "He came, in 1954, to a good university. He leaves it, in 1960, better than he found it. He goes to the only kind of a university that could have taken him from Oregon---one that is truly great. Oregon is a long step nearer greatness because he was here.:1 (MORE) f PRESIDENT WILSON - 2 - This tribute, and others like it, along with the many academic appointments and honors which have come to President 'Hilson are indicative of the high regard in which he is held in the field of education. In 1958-59, President Wilson served as chairman of the American Council on Education, the leading educational organization in the country, charged with co ordinating the work of other nationwide educational groups. He is a member of a commission appointed a little over a year ago by the Council on Higher Education for American Republics to strengthen relations between universities of North and South America. A soft-spoken man, President Wilson, nonetheless, is a man dedicated to discipline and order. Born Sept. 21, 1909, in Chihuahua, Mexico, he grew up in Salt Lake City, Utah, where his father was principal of Latter Day Saints university, a secondary school. President Wilson attended Brigham Young university and continued on the schoolt s history faculty for one year after his graduation in 1934. He spent the next 15 months abroad studying at the University of London and the University of Heidelberg. He returned to Brigham Young university in 1937, as an assistant professor, and stayed there until he joined the University of Utah faculty in 1942. President Wilson's teaching career was interrupted for a year and a half while he attended the University of California to complete work for the doctor of philosophy degree, which he received in 1943. From 1944 to 1947, he served on the faculty of the University of Chicago, where he became an associate dean of The College. He returned to the University of Utah in 1947 as professor and dean of university college. President Wilson left his teaching career in 1952 for two years to serve as secretary and treasurer of the Fund for the Advancement of Education. He became president of the University of Oregon in 1954. President Wilson and his wife, Marian, have six children. - UNS - ,.. ~ UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA NEWS SERVICE HINNEAPOLIS 14, MINNESOTA DECEMBER, 1960 THIS IS THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA The University of Minnesota, chartered in February 1851 by the Legislative Assembly of the Territory of Minnesota seven years before the Territory achieved statehood, will celebrate its one hundred and tenth birthday February 23. Largest of the Big Ten schools, the University of Minnesota ranks fourth in the nation in enrollment, with 28,277 full-time students.

Contributions to the University from the people of Minnesota have made possible the Minnesota Museum of Natural History, the Journalism School's Murphy Hall, the Variety Club Heart Hospital and the Mayo Memorial Hospital. The American Legion and its AUxiliary have provided an endowed research professorship in heart disease. Other contributions have enabled the University to build the Masonic Memorial Hospital, the Veterans of Foreign Wars Cancer Research Center and Memorial Stadium. Equally generous have been the contributions made by corporations, associations, foundations, trade unions, clubs and individuals whose assistance has made hUlldreds of scholarships available each year to outstanding students. Over recent years, much of the University's energy has gone into planning for anticipated increases in enrollments. At present, about half of the students enrolled in Minnesota colleges and universities attend the University of Minnesota. If other institutions continue to take the same percentage of students, no fewer than 47,000 full-time students will be attending the University in 1970.
