U University Seal Called Prettiest In America by "The prettiest university seal in America" that is what John Stuart Dales, '73, one of the University's first two graduates, thinks of the University seal. The Board of Pegents in 1871, according to Mr. Dales, delegated Chancellor Benton to design a cor porate seal for the University. In the latter part of that year the Chancellor and Mr. Dales made a business trip to Chicago. The Chan cellor had given much thought to the make-up of the seal but was much puzzled as to the arrangement of it Before reaching Chicago Mr. Dales and the Chancellor, after many curious patterns, finished the design and within a few hours it was in the hands of a Chicago engraver, receiving the finishing touches. Mr. Dales recalls that the symbols THOMPSON PLACED ON ATHLETIC BOARD Sel cted to Fill Vacancy Made By Engberg'a Resignation At Executive Deaa Appointment of Prof. T. J.
