GOVERIVDR D F IOWA Governor George A. Wilson Q overnor W it 6 on Visits C A familiar figure at Iowa State is Governor George A. Wilson. This year he attended the sixth annual State Highway meeting here, Dec. 16, 1941, and was host to Wendell Willkie Feb. 24, 1942, at the opening of the new lecture course, Science 201. It has been a tradition at Iowa State for the governor to open Veishea, but much to our regret he was imable to attend last year. Mr. Wilson attended Grinnell College and was graduated from the law school of the State University of Iowa in 1907. He was a member of Sigma Chi, social frater- nity, and Phi Delta Phi, law honorary. He began his career as a lawyer and climbed the political ladder from Coimty Attorney in Polk County to District Judge, State Sena- tor, to the Governorship in 1938, and was re-elected in 1940. He married Miss Mildred Zehner in 1921 and has three sons. 19
