MR. HICKS TAKES ADVANTAGE OF A RARE OPPORTUNITY TO RELAX WHILE DINING OUT WITH HIS WIFE, IDA HICKS We Dedicate With Pride . WITH THE LAMP of experience clutched tightly in his hands, Mr. Wilson Hicks joined UM ' s journalism depart- ment, thereby relinquishing his responsibilities as executive editor of Life. Five years later, on January 1, 1961, he became UM ' s first Director of University Publications. Since his ar- rival in 1955. his visions have multiplied, his duties expanded, but his progress is not an accident. His success is derived from a constancy of purpose, the result of a tranquil and steady dedication, of an earnest and entire devotion. Clutching his lamp of experience, Mr. Wilson Hicks has carried his torch of knowledge high at UM, kindling the natural curiosity of stu- dents and illuminating the path in their questing search for knowledge about photography and journalism. As Supervisor of Student Publications since 1957, Mr. Hicks has helped student writers and editors win national acclaim for the Hurricane, Ibis, and Tempo. International attention has been focused on UM through the Annual Photojournalism Conferences first organized by Mr. Hicks. To these conferences each spring come many personages of the photographic and journalistic world. Mr. Hicks authored Words and Pictures, a book which is recognized as a pioneering study in photojournalism, and a Wilson Hicks byline can be found on a monthly column written for Popular Photography. In his new office as Director of University Publications, Mr. Hicks will supervise the planning, writing, and editing of over sixty UM publications. The career of Mr. Wilson Hicks has been marked by an unbounded expansion and his success is perceptible not in the progress itself but in the result. And so, it is to you, Mr. Wilson Hicks, that we dedicate this personification of result, the Ibis 1961. As originator of the Photojournalism Conference Mr. Hicks lectures to the attentive delegates on the use of photographs in journalism.
