Friends and acquaintances from the far corners of the Territory - from Ketchikan and Nome, from Kake and Kotzebue — gathered to pay a touching tribute to the white- haired one-time immigrant youth who is known as “the legislative father of the University.” | The occasion was a testimonial dinner by the Gastineau branch of | the University of Alaska Alumni | Association. Both the bipartisan crowd and the tributes overflowed the Baranof hotel’'s Gold Room Speakers recalled the former sen- ate president’s service in 12 ses- sions of the legislature, his struggle to bring the infant Agricultural Col- lege and School of Mines through its birth pains in the 1917 legisla- ture, his devotion in nursing it thru its early years; and his dedication to its future in his 17-year role as president of the board of regents. But it was Andrew Nerl self who capped the ever characteristically simple Toastmaster Leo Saarela had sa- luted him as “a man of vision.” Dr. C. Earl Albrecht had hailed him for his fellow regents as “a true leader, a great inspiration.’” Dr. Terris Moore, the universily president, described hirm as “a sym- bol of honesty, simplicity and court- | |esy.” Governor Gruening introduced ‘him as a friend to all Al an: “the embodiment of the great Amer ican epic; a man who made the| American dream come true.” | the standing ovation died | away, former Senator Nerland rose | to the microphone with a tremble | in his lip and a tremor in his voice. “Nothing in my life,” he said, “has been so encouraging or inter- esting as the work that had a small | part in building the university.” He said the gratifying thing was to watch the progress of the young men and women to whom he had handed diplomas through the years. | His voice began to break as he| struggled to control his emotiol Then he told how he had thought | only a small party had beenl| planned; “I don't know whether I} would have had the courage if I ihad known it would be like this.” He proceeded to climax the eve- ning by regaling the crowd with his homely narrative of how he won votes in the 1917 session for the bill to create the college at Fair- banks. Others told how he didn’t run for reelection in 1919, how the young college closed its doors because of the appropriations drought that re- sulted from his absence, and how he returned to the legislature in 1921 to get the college reopened. The program had its moods, too. Governor Gruening traced the honor guest's first trip to the North in 1898, his start in business at Daw- son, his return to Seattle to marry and his move to Fairbanks in 1904. “But those were not days of hard- Iship,” he said, “they were days of adventure — for Andrew still was | to run for the legislature.” Most of the members of the 20th legislature were in attendance.

An enemy only a few miles across Bering Strait has surpassed us in some of these fields, but our university is taking steps to over- come them.” As a momento of the testimonial evening, Harold Gronroos, presi- of the Gastineau Alumni branch, presented Mr. Nerland with an inscribed desk pen set in behalf of the group. 28 FLY WESTWARD 4 ARRIVE HERE, PNA Twenty-eight flew to the west- ward yesterday on two Pacific Northern airline flights and four rived here from Anchorage. vals were: Shirley Atkinson, Willie Jones, John Christopher and Charles ‘Buchert To Anchorage: Melquist, Tom Foss, A.

TROY The beau high pea northwest | Douglas | namea Mt open ridge and mountain on the side of the Ski Trail on Island, was officially Troy, in honor of John | Weir T former Governor of Al- |aska and owner and publisher of | the Daily Alaska Empire, by the | Alaska Advisory Committee of the Board of Geographic Names, at a | meeting yesterday afternoon in the. loffices of E. L. Keithahn, Secre-/ tary of the Board, it was announced today. The meeting was attended by iBu:\rd members B. D. Stewart, Chairman; E. L. Keithahn, Secre- tary and George Sundborg. Called in to meet with them on this matter was B, Frank Heintzleman, Region- al Forester and = member of the Juneau Chamber of Commerce. An earlier suggestion by the | Chamber of Commerce that the lthree peaked range farther to the north on the Island, be named in honor of Governor Troy was put | aside by the Committee and by the | Board on Geographic Names in | Washington,” D. C. as one of the | peaks already has an established name, it was said. Also it was felt the mountain chosen to te named in honor of Governor Troy was | more appropriate as it is directly in view from Juneau where he lived for so many years.
