A portrait of a serious, sensitive young scientist was hung in Utah State’s new student union building this year as a symbol to us — indeed to all Americans — of the highest courage which human beings display. This brilliant nuclear physicist, only thirty-seven at his death in 1950 was Dr. Eugene Gardner, a native of Logan, whose important work in atomic research resulted inadvertently in his death. Dr. Gardner was educated at Utah State. Many remember him as senior class president and valedictorian, class of 1935. Oak Ridge, Los Alamos, and the University of California were the scenes of his research. He 3nd a colleague are credited with discovery of the meson rated among the most fundamental advances in twentieth century physics. It is for us, his successors, to pay him and all men like him tribute by following his example and devoting our talents to the service of our fellowmen. He gave his last full measure in the interest of mankind and in doing so, made his own name immortal. 10
