Mr. Henricks records “newspaper ac- counts made note of the opening of the new university in its handsome new building,” and reported “an enroll- ment for the first semester of forty students.” Tuition cost the student an amazing amount of $12.00 per term. 2 Summer 1978 Vol. 29 No. 4 Rolf-Peter Nwt '77 Ednor TABLE OF CONTENTS ALUMNI BOARD OFFICERS rsident Larry J.
