Chancellor Hardin: Humble, Well-Informed
(Continued from Page 1)
efforts to secure $1.5 mil
lion in funds from the Kel
logg Foundation were real
ized and the result was the
completion this summer of
the Nebraska Center for
Continuing Education lo
cated on the Agriculture
Campus.
Securing the grant from
the Kellogg Foundation was
only part of the work the
educator undertook shortly
after arriving on the cam
pus in 1954. He was also
active in helping secure
$1,104,000 in pledges from
University alumni and other
Nebraskans to help finance
the Nebraska Center.
According to Pittenger,
Chancellor Hardin "enjoys
tackling a problem which,
if it is completed, contri
butes to the improvement
of the institution." He added
that sometimes others think
the tasks that Chancellor
Hardin undertakes are "im
possible." Since he came to Nebras
ka, Hardin has also played
a significant role in clear
ing the way for the Eugene
C. Eppley Institute for Re
search and Cancer being
built on the University Col
lege of Medicine campus in
Omaha.
The Chancellor is ir dest
and quick to give crn iit for
work and accomplishments
such as these to other
members of the staff and
alumni, however. He sited
the recent gift of $400,000
from tiie Behlen family as
an example of the contri
butions others have made
to the University. This
money will be used toward
a physics research and lab
oratory building.
Proud
And Dr. Hardin is proud
of the University which he
heads: "The University of
Nebraska is among the top
2S universities for alumni
listed in 'Who's Who'," be
said.
The Chancellor's back
ground before coming to Ne
braska is equally impres
sive as his accomplishments
oa this campus. An Indiana
H rosier and 4-H dub mem
ber, be received four de
grees from Purdue Univer
sity: a Bachelors, Masters,
PhD (1941) and Honorary
Doctor of Science degree.
His major field is agricul
tural economics.

Before coming to Nebras
ka, Chancellor Hardin was
dean of agriculture at Mich
igan State University in
1953. He and his family had
lived there for 94 years.
At first he was reluctant
to accept a university presi
dency, he said, "but the
quality of the University of
Nebraska, the ambitions the
Regents had for the insti
tution and the challenge
they posed" persuaded him
to accept the Chancellor
ship. According to John A. Han
nah, president of Michigan
State University, when Dr.
Hardin first came to that
university he was consid
ered "one of the most
promising young agricul
tural economists in the
United States."
"He (Dr. Hardin) was
clearly marked for a bril
liant career as a teacher,
researcher and administra
tor, and his subsequent
achievements bore out his
promise. He served this
University (Michigan
State) well at a time when
it, like agriculture, was in
the throes of adjustment to
wartime and post-war con
ditions. "He made friends easily,
and was quickly and readily
accepted by his faculty
colleagues and the farm
people of Michigan as a
man of true distinction in
his professional field," Dr.
Hannah said.
"He is a clear, objective
thinker and possesses all of
the attributes of an educa
tional leader," Hannah
added.
C. E. Swanson, president
of Nebraska's Board of
Regents, said he feels that
the Chancellor's "under
standing of an agricultural
state made it easy for him
to fit himself into the Ne
braska picture."
"Our Kind"
"Donl you worry about
keeping Cliff Hardin at the
Univers ity. He's our kind of
people," said former state
senator from Columbus J.
O. Peck.
Swanson added that he
thinks the Chancellor could
have been a successful ex
ecutive in any other profes
sion because of his ability
to make decisions.
Dr. Hardin's secretary,
Mrs. Louise Ward said the
Chancellor "delegates au
thority beautifully, then for

gets it. He doesn't check on
his subordinates periodical
ly. He simply assigns a task
and expects it to be carried
out."
"He doesn't jump to con
clusions and impose his
opinions on others," she
added. Pittenger added that
he felt the Chancellor has
a "faculty for coordinating
small groups."
Dr. Hardin also lists
other achievements in ac
ademic circles, both at
Michigan State and since
coming to the University.
In 1947 he was a delegate
to the International Confer
ence of Agricultural Eco
nomics in England. Eight
years ago he traveled to
Colombia in South America
as a consultant for the Kel
logg Foundation.

1956 he made a trip to Tur
key where the University of
Nebraska, in cooperation
with the Turkish govern
ment, founded Ataturk Uni

Laison
Last August, Dr. Hardin,
his wife and son spent three
weeks in British East Af
rica where the Chancellor
was a member of the Afri
can Laison Committee
studying an educational pro
gram for that country. As
a result of the findings of
this group, which was spon
sored by the Carnegie Cor
poration and the British
government, Columbia Uni
versity sent over 100 teach
ers there last week "a lit

Corps," the Chancellor
noted.

riculture, biological and
medical research, medical
education, public health, so

manities. Although this list of ac
complishments and honors
would provide cause for
personal pride, the Chancel
lor does not "parade his
achievements and activi
ties," according to Dean
Breckenridge. He is propri
ety without self -righteousness.
Integrity
Chancellor Hardin's out
standing characteristic, ac
cording to Breckenridge, is
his "complete integrity and
fairness." He has gained
the respect and confidence
of many persons, even
though some don't know
him, Breckenridge said.
The dean added that the

Chancellor's calendar Is
"fantastic." Pittenger
added that "the only thing
that separates this guy from
the students is the clock."
Yet the Chancellor spends
a good deal of time talking
to campus visitors, lectur
ing to alumni groups and
attending scholarship meet
ings. He said his average
working day is about 13-14
hours long.
This doesn't leave much
time for hobbies, the Chan
cellor explained. He said he
likes to spend whatever free
time he has with his fam
ily, which includes his wife
