Hancher Monday night spoke to a radio audience on the event of the University of Iowa entering the hundreth year of its existence.

The full text of his Founder's day address follows. "On February 25, 1947, this university will complete the first hundred years of its existence, and plans are underway for a centennial celebration which will begin from tonight. "Today, we enter our hundredth year. As we do so, we are emerging from World War II and are moving into the problems of the postwar world. Elsewhere I have reviewed the contribution which this university has made to World War II, and tonight I shall do no more than recapitulate a few high points.

"On February 6, 1942, our first military unit- United States navy pre-flight schoolwas allocated to the university. On March 23, 1946, the last of the military programs -the army program in medicine will end. Between these two dates, more than 26,000 men will have been trained here for the armed forces. Our records show that 9,510 alumni and former students have been in service. A total of 357 military personnel of World War II have had some part of their educational or military training on this campus.

This is a record of which any university may be very proud. "Certain members of our staff, remaining on the campus, have contributed their research abill- ties to development new weapons methods of warfare, then among which the proximity fuse was the most spectacular. Other staff members took leave of academic life to serve elsewhere in the armed forces or in civilian agencies related to the war. All made contributions in which we take great pride. "Now that staff and students ate returning from the war, it may pe forgotten that, during the war years, the university not only made its daily contribution to the war, but also laid plans for the postwar years.

"The campus planning committee has developed an admitable long-range campus plan to provide for all of our foreseeable future needs. The university has received legislative appropriations in excess of $2,600,000 for building program to be launched as soon as materials and labor are available. We have also planned permanent additions to our dormitory system, which are not dependent upon legislative appropriations. "Among curricular changes, the most. noteworthy has been the new curriculum in liberal arts which anticipated by 15 months some of the more widely publicized features of the Harvard report, and in other respects went beyond it.

This curriculum, in most of Its essential features, is now in its second year of operation. One. of its collateral merits, of more than Incidental value in this Immediate postwar period. -is its adaptability to the needs of returning veterans. division of veterans service has been established in the office of student affairs, and under the direction of Dr.

William Coder, I more than 2,800 veterans now in the university have been interviewed and processed. Registration for the second semester indicates that the university now has 6,581 oncampus students, only 86 students below the pre-war peak of 6,667. this return to pre-war rollment. we welcome the return of many members of the staff who have been on leave.

Now Termites Want 'Phones; But Get DDT Termites have a habit of showing up in the most unusual places thinks Howard Young, local manager for the Northwestern Bell Telephone Co. Termites this week were discovered in an oak door jam of an all steel door in the basement of the company's building at the corner of Burlington and Gilbert streets. The building's construction is almost entirely concrete, steel, brick, stone, glass and tile, Mr. Young said that it was believed that the termites got into the oak door jam through a possible crack in the floor of the building or through a piece of wood that might have been left in one of the forms when the concrete was poured at the time of the building's construction. Either possibility could afford means of the insects entering a building, he said.

Part of the door Jam infested with termites was replaced and the area treated with D.D.T. How effective the insecticide would be on the termites was not expressed for this was the first time that the company had tried D.D.T. on termites. In the past two years termites have been discovered in two other large buildings in the same vicinity. Both the Iowa City Community building and the public library were infested.

After rebuilding a portion of the game room at the recreation center in the Community building that was infested with termites, a recurrence of the pests has been reported recently.

Earl J. McGrath, formerly dean of administration in the University of Buffalo, and for two and onehalf years director of the educational services section, training division, bureau of naval personnel, Washington, -D. from he was discharged with the rank of lieutenant commander in October, 1944. Few men in this country have the knowledge of liberal and professional education possessed by Dean McGrath, "During the war years, Dean Carl E.

Seashore very gallantly emerged from retirement to resume the deanship of the graduate college upon the departure of Dr. George Stoddard to accept the post of commissioner of education of the state of New York. On April 1, 1946, Dean Seashore will be succeeded by Dr. Carlyne F. Jacobsen, distinguished psychologist and paychoblologist, who comes to us from Washington university, St.

Louis, where he has been professor of medical psychology and assistant dean of the school of medicine. Because of his eminence in research and his experience in administration, Doctor Jacobsen is well qualified for the position of graduate dean. "After 37 years of distinguished service as the head of the department of physics, Prof. George W. Stewart will retire from that position at the end of the current year.

We have been fortunate in finding as his successor Dr. Louis A. Turner, a distinguished nuclear physicist of Princeton university, who for the last five years has been on leave from Princeton to the radiation laboratory of M. I. T.

It is contemplated that one and perhaps two theoretical physicists and one experimental physicist will be added to our present staff in the department, and that research in nuclear physics, which was interrupted by the war, will rapidly be resumed. by the war, will rapidly be resumed. "I cannot tell the full story of new personnel at this time, and accordingly I merely cite these representative instances to show that throughout the university we have been alert to the need of new and additional staff, for we recognize that it is the qualIty of the academic staff, and not bricks and stone and mortar, that make great university. "It seems evident that. only rarely in the past have relations between the university and the state been as cordial as they are today, and only rarely has the untversity been held in such high regard by those who are responsible for its financial welfare and support.

"The university throughout the war has kept faith with the state, and there is every reason to believe that the state will keep faith the university in accordance its future needs. From the standpoints of plant, of program, and of personnel, we have survived war with credit, and we face the future with hope. The voices of disunity and despair which have been loosed with the ending of the war may for a time disturb the experiments of the scientist and the voice and the pen of the scholar, but all men of calm fudgment and distant vision know that the building of America has not ended. This is no finished work. To carry on, however, we shall need wisdom and courage and a persistent awareness that the responsibilities of peace.

are no less exacting than those of war. Belleving that. our people, if not possessing, endeavor to achieve these attributes, we enter the hundredth year of the State University of Iowa with hope and confidence."
