The main campus was established in 1899 at the mouth of Hellgate Canyon in Missoula. From an inital group of 50 students and 7 faculty members in 1895, the University has grown until today the campus com m unity includes more th an 7,400 stu­ dents and 300 full-time instructional staff members. Fifty-nine per cent of the faculty members hold doctoral degrees. More than 40 buildings dot the main campus, and an active construction program is in progress. The University is fully accredited by the North­ west Association of Secondary and Higher Schools. The seven professional schools (business administra­ tion, education, fine arts, forestry, journalism, law and pharmacy) also are accredited by appropriate national organizations. Situated at the hub of five valleys, the main campus spreads over 116 acres on the east side of Missoula. There are an additional 624 acres on Mt. Sentinel. A few blocks south of the main campus is a 154-acre site with 394 married student housing units and a nine-hole golf course. Approximately six miles southeast of the main campus is Fort Mis­ soula, where the University owns a parcel of 295 acres. Two major UM facilities are located outside Missoula: 20,850 acres in Lubrecht Experimental Forest, 35 miles northeast of Missoula, and 167 acres on Flathead Lake, including the Biological Station, 90 miles north of Missoula at Yellow Bay. The President Robert T. Pantzer was appointed President of the University of Montana Dec. 16, 1966 by the State Board of Regents. He had served as acting presi­ dent from Aug. 15, 1966, to that time. A familiar figure on the Missoula campus, Pantzer has been associated with the U niversity since 1957, serv­ ing as a professor of business administration and as finan­ cial vice president. He received his B.A. de­ gree in business administra­ tion from UM in 1940 before serving 42 months overseas during World War II. He was discharged from the Army Mwith the rank of major and a bronze star for meritorious Robert T. Pantzer service in the East Indies. Following the war, Pantzer returned to graduate from the University of Mon­ tana law school in 1947. He served as county attor­ ney at Chester, Mont. from 1947 to 1950, and prac­ ticed law in Livingston, Mont. from 1950 to 1957, when he returned to the University. Pantzer and his wife, Ann, have three children. Athletic Director H ead Coach Since assuming the duties of both head football coach and athletic director at the University of Mon­ tana, Jack Swarthout has put a drive into the school’s athletic program which has not been seen at the school for many years, and which should easily overcome the setback caused by last year’s 2-7 season record. In two years, Mon­ tana football teams have won 9 and lost 10 under Swarth­ out against tough opposition. His initial season was 7-3, the best mark at the Missoula school for 30 years. Sw arthout returned to Montana, where he played football (1940-42), from a high school position in Olym- Jack Swarthout pia, Wash., where his football teams compiled a 50-14-2 record in seven seasons. Before that, he coached at Hoquiam, Wash., High School following,three years as an assistant to Darrell Royal at Washington and Born in Prosser, Wash., Feb. 23, 1920, Sw arthout lettered in football, basketball and baseball in high school. He graduated from the University of Mon­ tana in 1942 with a bachelor’s degree in political science. He then served four years in the armed services as a lieutenant in the parachute infantry.
