NASH AND MACKINNON A friendship grown out of a relationship created through the cooperative efforts of solving University problems was cut all too short by the death of Dean Lee W. MacKinnon. It was fortu- nate for the University that Raymond L. Carter, who had worked very closely with Dean MacKinnon, was able to take over the duties formerly Dean MacKinnon's.

Mack, Clerk A large share of the University's success and development may be attributed to the cooperation of members of the Board of Directors. The University's origin is traceable to a bequest of a tract of land and a sum of money by jesup W. Scott in 1872. Mr. Scott specified that the gift was to be used in developing a school which he called the School of Arts and Trades. From this beginning came the University of Toledo. Its status as a University was endangered subsequently when the Board of Education made an attempt to assume control and to transform it into a vocational school. This attempt was fought vigorously by William H. Tucker, then a mem- ber ofthe University's Board of Directors. Mr. Tucker, an attor- ney, held his ground against the members of the Board of Educa- tion. After a fierce controversy the supreme court of Ohio awarded control of the University to the Board of Directors. In remembrance of the time and effort spent by Mr. Tucker to insure the develop- ment of the University as an institution of higher learning, one of the two new faculty apartments has been named Tucker Hall. In honor of the founder of the University, the other has been named Scott Hall.
