Whereas, since 1939, as an instructor he has never been too busy to stop and talk, to tell a good story, to offer a kindly word. Whereas, he has understood students ' limita- tions at the University of Alaska for more than fourteen years, and has brought to the students and faculty a larger concept of the intellectual content of college. Whereas, he has become, as head of the Chem- istry and Chemical Engineering, well- known and respected by students, fac- ulty, and alumni alike. Whereas, for these and many other reasons; we, the DENALI staff of 1961, proudly dedicate this yearbook to Dr. William S. Wilson, Professor of Chemistry. JOANNE F. WILBANKS Editor Daiil Park 13

During the summer of I960 the Univer- sity of Alaska regretfully said goodbye to Dr. Robert R. Wiegman, Vice President, and his wife Helen. Before the couple departed the University faculty and admin- istration held a surprise going away party. Fairbanks photographer Bud Nelson pho- tographed the doings at the Malemute Saloon, Cripple Creek, Alaska, and swore on his camera that all props in the pictures were empty. Dangerous Dan (Prof. Charles Keim) plays a friendly game of cards with Mrs. Jones (Lou). Dean Earl H. Beistline, third from left, demanded that the couple be punished for leaving by enduring the act, The Lady Known as Lou. 15
