We Dedicate . . . When John J. (Jack) Harding came to the University in 1937 he filled the dual positions of football coach and Director of Athletics. The next year, 1938, UM matched the University of Florida in football for the first time and won! Ten years later Mr. Harding dropped the title of coach and assumed the sole responsibility of Director of Athletics. Since then the dynamic Mr. Harding has spurred over many hurd les to ex- pand UM ' s athletic facili- ties. His desire to build the University ' s teams and in- dividuals into nationally recognized athletes has been achieved through his unquenchable spirit. Many new innovations have come from the office of Jack Harding including a Spring Carnival of Sports featuring golf, baseball, track, and tennis teams In the press box from many colleges. Jack Harding has generously given his services to the University and the community. This is the man to whom we dedicate the I960 Ibts. JACK HARDING LOOKS THOUGHTFUL DURING CONVERSATION WELL-LIKED ATHLETIC DIRECTOR TAKES IT EASY ON SIDELINES BUT HIS HEART IS WITH THE TEAM ON THE BASKETBALL COURT 3
