It was thus named by official action of the Board of Trustees, who met the Saturday morning pre¬ ceding the dedication date. And the Governor Carl E. Bailey was given the I’ccognition upon the oc- casion of his forty-third birthday. An honor guest - for the day, he and Sec- I ' etary of State “Crip” ffall, both ardent Ar¬ kansas alumnus, attended 0 game here against 0 aylor.

Significant in the his¬ tory of this University. He handed sheepskins to Harry Hopkins and to John N. Heiskell, editor of the Arkansas Gazette, when President Futrall conferred upon them both the honorary degree of doctor of laws. Bailey then conferred academic degrees upon 69 students who had completed work for their degrees since the June commencement. The ceremony was broadcast over several state radio stations. Then there ' s the Cali¬ fornia trip. Governor Bailey was no piker. He headed a contingent of fans from Arkansas, mainly from Little Rock, who went all the way out to Los Angeles to see the Razorbacks play Santa Clara, and to hear the band play along the way. t was a great stunt and the University got a lot of good advertising from it. The Governor made several speeches along the way, and all went fine with the Arka ' .icas Traveler except the LCore of the game. A problem that sent lines of worry across the Governor ' s brow this year was the threatened loss’ of rating of the Med school. A hospital and money was needed badly. Result: the legislature, at Bailey ' s suggestion, gave new and sumptuous allotments to the school and the rating is now secure. Most recent of the Governor ' s activities in regard to the University is the increase in the Board of Trustees. He made three new appoint¬ ments, bringing the Board membership to twelve, then appointed two more men to fill the place of two whose terms had expired. As for a personal glance, we know that Gov¬ ernor Bailey is well liked in the state. Take a look at the last election returns. And on the campus? Well, any man in his position who will get out of a good box seat on the shady side of the stadium, walk clear across the field and climb the rail into the stands just to sit with the home¬ coming queen is just naturally going to be well liked up here.
