vice president merrill Milton R. Merrill is one of those very rare persons who possesses numerous qualities and abilities which mark him as an intellectual, a leader, a solomon, and a confidante. He appeals to groups and individuals. He serves as consultant to administrators and counselor to friends. His unique versatility imposes frequent demands upon his time and talents, but he prefers anonymity. He's strictly a behind the scenes man. To tab Dr. Merrill as retiring or withdrawing would be a misnomer. His quiet, thoughtful manner impressively reveals his strong characteristics of judicious withholding, until the time for evidencing deep analytical consideration appears to be warranted. He hos, inherently and through cultivation, a habit of dignified reserve that distinguishes him as a listener. Then, at rimes, paradoxically and almost surprisingly, he will become especially vocal, almost evangelical about a point or points that reflect o deep feeling of conviction. Milt, as he is affectionately known among innumerable friends, admirers, and associates, has been recognized as the Mr. Chips of Utah State. Closest to his heart is the role of the teacher. The old-timers among the faculty and the students of almost half a century remember him most warmly os an avid reader, lecturer, and literally a walking compendium. No wasted time his. He is often remembered walking on campus or down the hill with his eyes glued upon an open book or periodical. He amazed many (and amused them, too) that he could walk so much, read so comprehensively, and, for the most part, avoid traffic hazards. In the clossroom, with his rich funds of knowledge and current happenings, together with o ready wit and rippling good humor, he has always been at his best. Bulging student enrollment in non-required, tough-graded courses, a Robins Award winner for Professor of the Year, and Faculty Honor Lecturer serve as glowing tributes to his ability and effectiveness as a teacher. Although the greater part of his professional life has been centered on the Hill the campus has served only as his headquarters. He has been recognized in his major field of Political Science locally, throughout the state, and nationally. As author, speaker, civic and educational worker he hos served as interpreter and analyst of the current political and professional scene. In his service as department head, college dean, assistant to the President, and Director of’the Summer School, Extension Correspondence Study, and the Army-Air Force Training Program he built a rich background for his present position os Vice President, in charge of a number of things including academic affairs. A$ Dr. Merrill walks each day to and from his home near the campus with an arm full of papers and folders, with a cheery greeting to all he passes, we can only call to mind the depth of meaning so applicable he, while his companions slept, foiled ever onward through the night. Without a peer, he reads voluminously, he answers inquiries, sends thoughtful and considerate personal notes. Incomparably, too, there is no comment on the amount of work, nor hours required to complete it. And without regard to self, he always finds time to visit with the many who just want to talk' as they wander into the ever-open door of his office. What greater reputation and high regard can any man have? Industrious, intellectual, considerate, and thoughtful, efficient, wise and personable: that's M. R. Merrill of Utah State. 8
