The beauty of Sioux City's Grandview Park added a special scenic touch to the pageantry of commencement at Morningside College as 227 seniors received their diplomas May 25. A distinguished Methodist leader and two noted educators received honorary doctorates. Bishop Odd Hagen, United Methodist bishop for Sweden, , and Finland, was presented with an honorary Doctor of Laws degree. The bishop also gave the commencement address. An honorary Doctor of Literature award was bestowed upon Dr. Mereb Mossman, vice chancellor for academic affairs at the University of North Carolina and daughter of a former Morningside president, the late Dr. Frank E. Mossman. The honorary degree Doctor of Humanities was conferred upon Dr. John W. Lewis, professor of political science at Stanford University and grandson of the late Bishop Wilson Seeley Lewis, president of Morningside from 1897 to 1908. An audience of 1,500 attended the traditional ceremonies- the college's 75th annual commencement although the 75th academic year does not begin until the fall of 1969. A history of the college reveals that Morningside granted degrees to its first two graduates in June of 1895, three months before its first classes were held. The graduates had taken all of their academic work at the University of the Northwest which preceded Morningside. The sermon at this year's baccalaureate services at Eppley Auditorium was given by the Rev. Trevor Baskerville, District Superintendent for the Sioux City district of the United Methodist Church.

7 Uphamgram by C. B. Upham '15

Editor's Note . .. The article reprinted here appeared originally in "Commercial West," a weekly magazine for bankers and businessmen which is circulated in the Ninth Federal Reserve District including Montana, Minnesota, the two Dakotas, northern Wisconsin and the upper peninsula ofMichigan. Mr. Upham has written a column called "Uphamgram "for the magazine during the past four years. A former member of the Morningside College board of directors ( 1965-68), Mr. Upham was Regional Comptroller of the Currency for 15 years prior to his retirement in 1964. He was awarded an honorary doctorate by Morningside in 1938. His dedication to Morningside is evidenced by the advertisement reproduced below. It appeared adjacent to the "Uphamgram. "

Two hundred faculty members, teachers of economics and banking in colleges located within the Ninth Federal District, were told by Hugh D. Galusha, Jr., president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis, at a Money and Banking workshop at the bank on May 9 that they bear a pivotal role in coping with student unrest. While most of the talks given at the meeting were related to current problems of money, banking and the economy in general, Mr. Galusha confined his remarks, under the title of "Dissent," to the problems of the campus. As chairman of the board of Carleton College and a member of the commission on the Morrill Hall "incident" at the University of Minnesota, Mr. Galusha was well-qualified to give the group some C. B. Upham insights into the causes of student disruptive behavior, and some implications for the future. The Federal Reserve Bank president gave faculties very poor marks for the part they have played in and about campus uprisings. "It is not a role," he said, "they have demonstrated much general aptitude or PRIDE willingness to play. For the most part, they have been inert and quite content to pursue the of the narrowly-defined interests of their disciplines," science, philosophy, language, mathematics, economics, or whatever.
