University of Maine - Prism Yearbook (Orono, ME)

Many kind words have been written about President Emeritus Arthur Andrew Hauck. All were true. For twenty-three years he gave Maine inspired, vigorous leadership. Under his guidance, the University increased in size and in academic standing. His spiritual contributions were even greater. Busy as he was, he always found time to mingle with the student body. He always found time to ex- tend the Maine Hello. He was truly the ambassador of Maine Spirit. We admired him as a President. We loved him as a man. It is with deep appreciation and respect that we dedi- cate the 1959 Prism to Dr. Hauck. His retirement in February marked the end of a great era. Maine will never forget him. 3

juniors, page 51 Thirty-eight hundred students blended personalities at the University of Maine in 1957-8. The result was a composite per- sonality so typically Maine—Conservative, but not reactionary; Spirited, but not boisterous; Studious, but not intellectual. And always, but always, Friendly. It is written that Maine is a large school with a small-school attitude. Probably true. As individ- ual personalities melded to form a group personality, so did in- dividual moods. We giggled, snickered, laughed, roared. We were serious, sullen, sad, tearful. We were people brought to- gether from thirty-nine states, and fourteen foreign countries. We stretched from Maine to India. Individually, our moods differed, yes. But as a student body equipped with common goals, we reflected common attitudes and common moods— MAINE MOODS.
