Before joining the UA faculty in 1932, he earned a B.A. at Oxford and a Ph.D. at Cornell. This year Dr. Nugent's picture appeared in the Valentine issues of the Wildcat and the Tucson papers as one of the city's most eligible bachelors. An enlarged photograph mounted on a giant red heart now hangs in his office, a gift from his downtown luncheon group. This year the Board of Regents was active in the promotion of the expansion of the physical parts - acquiring land and constructing build- ings - of the three campuses. The ten members meet on call, approxi- mately once a month. Each of the three insti- tutions of higher learning is host to the group at least once during the year. The State Superintendent of Public Instruc- tion and the Governor are ex officio membersg the remaining eight are appointed by the Gov- ernor.
