Derrick, vice president of university affairs and dean of the graduate school, was honored at a dinner on Nov. 18, hosted by the Travis County SWT Exes Club. The dinner, held at Villa Capri in Austin, was attended by representatives of the alumni, the Board of Regents, the faculty, and the student body who expressed their ap- preciation for Dr. Derrick ' s 43 years of service to the uni- versity. Walter Richter, ' 39, served as master of ceremonies. The Honorable J.C. Kellam read a resolution adopted in a Board of Regents meeting commending Dr. Derrick for his contributions and devotion to SWT. Roy Wilbern, past alumni association president, announced a new scholarship fund carrying Dr. Derrick ' s name to be set up. Bill Wright, Associated Students president, praised the honoree for supplying the leadership, energy and con- cern which has allowed the students to pursue their edu- cation in confidence. Dr. Derrick came to SWT in 1926 and climbed the ranks in the English Department from an instructor to depart- mental chairman in 19.58. That year he became dean of the graduate school. The vice presidency was added to his title in 1965. He later served as acting president for two time periods. Dr. Ralph Houston, dean of the School of Liberal and Fine Arts, when representing the faculty at the dinner, said of Dr. Derrick ' s service: When responsibilities have come his way, they came unsought. He does not yearn for this man ' s art or that man ' s scope; but always has entered into the work of each day zestfully convinced of its worth and meaningfiilness.
