Tenth Anniversary On May 6, 1940, the tenth anniversary of the day on which the citizens of Omaha voted to establish and maintain a municipal university, the University of Omaha launched its Decennial Anniversary celebration. An honors convoca- tion was held at which Dr. john D. Hicks, professor of history at the University of Wisconsin, delivered an address on The Responsibilities of Citizenship. In the evening a dinner and program, attended by representative citizens and delegates from civic groups in the city, was held at the University. Ten se- lections for the Omaha Hall of Fame, inaugurated as a part of the anniversary celebration, were announced at the evening program. On October 8, in commemoration of Dr. Daniel E. Jenkins, first president of the University, a Founders' Day Program was held. Speakers at convocation held in the morning were Roy Alley, representing the student body of 1940, and Dr. W. H. Thompson, alumnus of the University and head of the Department of Philosophy and Psychology, representing the present faculty. Dr. Thompson reminisced on life on the early University campus, following the incorpora- tion of the Board of Trustees of the University on October 8, 1908. At a banquet held in the evening, Mrs. Herbert Daniel, first May Queen of the University, presented a portrait of Dr. Jenkins to the University on behalf of the University Alumni Association. The Concert Dance Group presented Dedication to the University as the climax of its annual dance concert at the Joslyn Memorial on April 20, 1941. The dancers, costumed in red and black, performed before a picture of the Uni- versity projected on the background.
