Wednesday evening marked a definite turning point in the his tory ot the university when James Dales, for fifty-eight years con nected with the official life of the school and associated with it since it opened its doors to students in September, 1S71, turned over his duties as corporation secretary of the board of regents to L. E. Gun derson, finance secretary of the board of regents, who will also serve as acting corporation secre tary. About two years ago Mr. Dales had "nnounced his intention of re tiring on Jan. 1. 1933. When that time came along, the regents pre vailed upon him to continue his du ties until the end of the school year, Aug. 31, which he did. The Wednesday evening meeting of the regents was the first meeting since the early summer months. No suc cessor bad been appointed prior to that time. Dales Nebraska Alumnus. Mr. Dales was the first student to enter the University of Ne braska with advanced standing, one of the first two to secure a de gree from the school, and the first to secure an advanced de gree. On the first day the old Uni versity hall was opened to stu dents., Sept. 7, 3871. Mr. Dales enrolled as a junior, the only one in the school. He was one of the two men that received degrees at the commencement exerciss of 1S73 and in 1876 he was the first to receive an advanced degree at Ne braska. In 1S75 he became associated with the staff of the University as secretary of the board i f regents, then having charge of most of the business affairs of the small school. In 1913 he was made a member of the university senate and given the rank of dean. In 1024 h"! was mane corporation secretary of the board of regents. Gunderson Is Secretary. Mr. Gunderson, who will serve as acting secretary ot the board of regents in addition to his other du ties, has served as finance secre tary since 1921. joining the uni vcrsty staff the previous year. The board in accepting his re quest for retirement passed the fol lowing resolution: Whereas, for fifty-eight years Judge J. S. Dales has been connec ted with the University of Ne braska and has for the past several years served as corporation secre tary of the board of regents, and whereas. Judge Dales now retires as corporation secretary of the board, t . , Be it resolved that the board of regents hereby expresses to Judge I Dales its thanks and appreciation fnr v.q mnnv years of faithful and valued service to the university anu the state of Nebraska. Duplicate pictures are pasted on the back of each student's personal card, on file at the main office. After four years have elapsed an other picture appear on the cards, that taken of seniors for The Corn hur.ker. Thus the faculty and the registrar are possessed of a fairly accurate and convenient means of visual identification of students when asked for recommendations or comments. Heads of the credit departments of Lincoln- leading department stores all replied, when asked, that they had never at any time taken advantage of the existence of a freshman identification card picture. The photos may be easily oe tHrhed from identification cards. and upperclassroen have no pic- tures on their cards. GUNDERSON WILL OF JAMES DALES The university pnmngruivi.
