WALTER SAHLSTROM MEMORIAL July 29, 1948, an advanced aircraft trainer took off from the airstrip at Beach, North Dakota, banked, slipped, and crashed to the earth. All the occupants of the plane were killed. This was the tragic passing of Alaska University student Walter Sahlstrom. Endowed with the qualities of leadership and academic achievement, it is easily understood why Walt Sahlstrom was so popular on the campus. Sahlstrom came from Mt. Vernon, New York. During the recent war he fought a difficult campaign with the army ground forces in Western Europe. His studies at the University were centered in the Department of Arts and Letters. While in school, Walter was editor of the Polar Star. He was active on the University Rifle Team and took part in intramural sports and skiing. With great feeling we take this occasion to pay our respect to one very much remembered classmate. 13

Because of his stand for a greater univer- sity, he has often been the nucleus about which the turbulence of Alaskan sectional politics have raged. He has had to parry barrages of criticism often with militant ef- forts of his own. An extensive knowledge of law and a remarkable memory have served him well. During these years, the Alaskan in- fluence has done much to mold in him rugged individualism, a trait that has at times im- pressed others as being the most significant characteristic of the man. However, in the overall picture many discerning people have understood the purpose behind his deter- mined adherence to his own plans and appre- ciate their general soundness. He has become a controversial figure who has remained some- what of an enigma to a great many people. Dr. Bunnell has fought hard for the survival of the school and now with the satisfaction of knowing a firm foundation is laid, he is stepping aside. The University is entering a new era. A more education-conscious public and new government research projects are coming to its aid and insure great advances. The sacrifices made by Dr. Bunnell are ap- preciated and the institution he has fostered will endure, and it will continue to provide higher education on the Last Frontier. We salute you, Dr. Bunnell, and congratulate you on attaining the position of President Emer- itus. May your talents continue to serve Alaska. 12
