The Fairbanks weather, which is
bringing unseasonal rains to
that area also, was the one
threat to otherwise perfectly
planned rites.
Because Father Athanasius
Ossorgin of the Sitka Cathedral
was wearing priceless vestments
given to the Cathedral by Bar
anof in 1812, the morning pro
cessional to the College gym
nasium was delayed until skies
cleared somewhat.
Following the Emeritus rites
in the gymnasium, the day was
completed by the laying of the
cornerstone for the University’s
new $975,000 geophysical labo
ratory. This ceremonial was con
ducted by the Masonic Lodge,
with Dr. Bunnell, a member of
the organization, participating.
Alaska's Governor Ernest
Gruening and Henry M. Jack
son. representative from the
state of Washington, were the
principal guests of honor at the
July 1 ceremonies.
