Duke leaves a legacy of a much-improved campus For nineteen years, the door of the President ' s office, second floor. Old Main, has borne the legend G. D. Humphrey. Wyoming ' s own Duke was, in fact, a native of Mississippi. It was in that same state that he began his teaching career, al- most five decades ago, as the sole instructor in a country school. Mississippi ' s public educational in- stitutions became familiar with the name and cap- abilities of this educator as he served in the posi- tions of teacher, coach, principal (both elementary and secondary), and superintendent. His blooming career continued to develop as he devoted his ef- forts and professional knowledge to the field of higher education in Mississippi. In 1945 UW persuaded Humphrey to leave his position as pres- ident at Mississippi State College to assume a sim- ilar role here. Innumerable activities, both professional and non-professional, have made the other side of Humphrey ' s life a panorama of service and dedi- cation. He has served on committees and boards of various educational organizations at local, state, regional, and notional levels. An unflagging in- terest in athletics is also significantly reflected in Humphrey ' s endeavor. In 1951, his outstanding contributions to Wyoming and the University earned him the title of Wyoming ' s Man of the Year. Year after year, the tremendous energy and enthusiasm which wells from UW ' s Duke has infected almost every aspect of campus life. The nineteen years he has spent in the familiar office in Old Main hove been spiced with hard work and well-earned rewards, conflicts and hard-won vic- tories—the legacy of the Duke . New co-ed dorm typifies Humphrey ' s expansion pro- gram. It will house 1000 students and will be com- pleted by 1965. Scale-model of new student housing projects rapid University expansion inspired by President Humph- rey. f « .J K mm nKm • Jf i Hr a 0f 0r Sr wr A
