Curran—Regent for the past five years—an alumnus of our own College—got a job teaching after graduation, but the World War interrupted his career as schoolmaster— entered the University of Wisconsin School of Law shortly after the Armistice. resigning a lieutenantship in the Army—received his LL. D. degree in 1922—moved to Superior and soon became a prominent figure in legal and governmental circles about the Head of the Lakes—now that he is Regent, it does him proud to be able to have the opportunity to further the cause of higher education in the state and at the College—oh yes, we almost forgot!— the E stands for Emmett—since he maintains the best Irish traditions in this area, we are betting that he was named for the great Irish poet, Robert Emmett. Jim Dan Hill—President since 1931— a native of Texas—obtained his Ph. D. degree from the University of Minnesota in 31, his M. A. from the University of Colorado in 1924, and his A. B. from Baylor University in 1922—once taught at River Falls State Teachers College— also at Michigan Tech—spent some time in the Navy—he admits that his favorite recreation is conversational golf —much conversation about good scores, no mention of others—come to think of it, he hasn't mentioned golf the last two or three years—finds time to write—Sea Dogs of the Sixties is the title of his book now in publication— it will be on the autumn book lists— has written any number of historical articles for various magazines—his one aim is to maintain Superior State as the best institution of its kind in the State.
