The 1964 edition of the DESERT is dedicated to Marvin D. Swede Johnson, the newest and youngest vice president of the University, who for seventeen years has contributed to the progress and growth of this institution. Throughout his various activities as student and administrator, Swede Johnson has continually added to the growth of the University. And in turn, by his successes in close interaction with the many facets of this rapidly expanding institution, Johnson stands as an example of what the University can inspire each student to do. Johnson ' s affiliation with the University began when he graduated from Wilcox High School and decided to study agriculture here. As a student he served the University in Alpha Zeta, Chain Gang and Bobcats honoraries. After receiving a BS degree in Animal Husbandry in 1951 he began work as assistant Graduate Manager to Charles Bumps Tribolet. Of him, Tribolet has said, Soon it was apparent that he was determined to help the school. It was during his dedicated term as Student Union Director, 1952-58, that Johnson received his MS degree. He became Alumni Association Director in 1958, and finally, in 1963, he obtained his present position as Vice President for University Relations, where his concern and love for the University is already self evident in his work. Proving that he is interested in the individual student ' s needs and opinions, Johnson agreed to meet regularly with the Associated Students president and vice president to discuss advisory council matters which pertain to students. Thus he serves as a liason between students and administration, Anyone who has met and talked with Swede Johnson will agree that he represents the idea that the University stimulates each student and faculty member to contribute as his capabilities allow toward the growth of the University. Every facet of University life, from talks with the members of the faculty and administration to the aesthetic value of attending classes on a beautiful campus, encourages each member of the university to give something of himself to the University of Arizona.
