Dr. J. Wilbur Van Evera, B.S., E.M., 1907; D. Eng. 1952 A man whose life and work merit the honor of his College, J. Wilbur Van Evera symbolizes the spirit and loyalty of Michigan Tech Alumni. He is known throughout the mining world as a pioneer of open-pit mining techniques and hydraulic stripping, and in his professional attainments he has left an example for the thousands of Techmen who have followed him. | For forty-seven years as an Alumnus of the College, Dr. Van Fyvera has maintained the closest ties with his Alma Mater. He has served as President of the Alumni Association and of the Minnesota Alumni Club. Together with other farsighted Alumni, he signed the original trust agreement of the Alumni Foundation in August, 1941, and became Chairman of the Foundation Board of Trustees in November of that year. Accepting the challenge of his position on the Foundation Board, and in addition to his professional duties, he organized and directed the Alumni Foun- dation fund-raising campaign that made the Memorial Union possible. His vision and his enthusiasm have helped to make Michigan Tech a better College for us and for those who follow us. He has sensed the needs of Techmen of a half-century ago; he has dedicatec himself to fulfulling those needs for the genera- tions of Techmen to come. The Keweenawan salutes the spirit of the Alumni of Michigan Tech as typified by Dr. Van Evera, a man whom we are proud to honor. The Thirtieth Anniversay Keweenawan is dedicated to him.
