Former University Chan
cellor Merk Hobson and his
successor, Durward B. Varner,
are not strangers to each other.
The two first met at a three
month Army training program
during the summer of 1946.
Through the years, they have
maintained their friendship.
"I COULDN'T really say if I
would have liked to keep the
job myself," said Hobson, who
served as acting chancellor
between the terms of Clifford
M. Hardin and Varner.
However he said he was well
pleased with the choice of
Varner as the permanent NU
chancellor.
"The year as chancellor was
a valuable experience," Hobson
continued. However there were
some aspects of the job that
didn't appeal to him.
Problems confronting Hobson
during his chancellorship were
developing the University
budget and conducting a major
administrative reorganization.
There were also problems con
cerning the merger with the
University of Omaha, he added.

SINCE THE Unicameral was
in session, it was necessary to
explain the needs of the
University to the legislators
and the people in general, he
said. Emphasis on University
financing continued until the
legislature adjourned in
September.
Concerning the merger,
Hobson said, "it isn't easy to
weld together two institutions
with different backgrounds and
structures. We have made a
good start though."
Shortly before Hobson took
office there were major ad
ministrative reorganizations in
the University system. Many
jobs on the Lincoln campus
that had been the Chancellor's
were given to the newly
created campus president.
"WE IN the Chancellors of
fice were faced with redefining
our roles," Hobson said. "This
process began just about the
time Chancellor Hardin went to
Washington."
"Problems of financing will
increasingly face the Universi
ty in coming years," Hobson
predicted.- "But, these pro
blems will be overcome."
"In past years Universities
have become more and more
dependent on the Federal
government. What is done in
Washington will be important
to us here."
STUDENTS, FACULTY and
administration alike were
helpful during the year, Hobson
said. "I feel that what could
have been a very traumatic
transition period went
remarkably well, he said.
Hobson added that he is
happy with his new job as vice-
chancellor for academic af
fairs. His position was created
by the Regents when Varner
took over as chancellor.
Hobson assumed the duties of
the chancellor in December
1968. From then on, the vice-
chancellor for academic affairs
position was not filled.
"Primarily I will be con
cerned with coordinating and
unifying academic activity on
all three of the University's
campuses," HoDson said.
