ANDREW NERLAND NIGHT
ATTRACTS LARGE CROWD;
MANY TRIBUTES GIVEN
_ _
I
Admiring Alaskans pinned the
badge of “senior statesman" on
Andrew Nerland last night.
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 Nerland him
self w'ho capped the evening, in hi?
characteristically simple fa-hion.
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 university
president, described him as "a sym
; bol of honesty, simplicity and court
| esy.”
uroveriiur urucimig uiuuuuluh
him as a friend to all Alaskans;
"the embodiment of the great Amer
ican epic; a man who made the
American dream come true.”
As 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 emotions.
Then he told how he had thought
only a small party had been I
planned; “I don’t know whether I
would have had the courage if I
had 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 lighter
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
I ship," 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.
In applauding Senator Nerland’s
contribution to the university, Dr.

Albrecht described it as an institu
tion that is playing an increasingly
important role for the territory and
nation in Arctic and sub-Arctic re
search and education.
"There is no other place in the
non-Soviet world,” he declared,
"where these aspects may be de
veloped. 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

an inscribed desk pen set in behalf
of the group.

ACTION - PACKED
THRILLER COMES
TO 20TH CENTURY
Coming tonight at the 20th Cen
tury Theatre is "Geronimo!" the
action-packed thriller about Ameri
ca’s last great redskin enemy.
When, in the furious border days
of the latter Nineteenth Century,
the cry "Geronimo!” was raised,
there was no doubting the full
meaning of the ominous warning.
Muskets came down from their wall
pegs, windows were barred and
women and children hid — for the
fiercest savage of them all, the
avenging Apache whom no truce
could satisfy, was on the warpath.
In the role of Geronimo is Chief
Thunder Cloud, a full-blooded
Cherokee Indian, and featured with
him are Preston Foster, Ellen Drew,
Andy Devine, William Henry, Ralph
Morgan, Gene Lockhart and Mar
jorie Gateson. all of them excellent
performers. They re-create with
realism the old Frontier’s most ex
citing days the bloody skirmishes
with Geronimo, the attacks on
stagecoaches the desperate stands
of the embattled cavalry against
the most dreaded of all the Apache
chiefs.
IS NMD FOR
JOHN W. TROY
The beautiful open ridge and
high peaked mountain on the
northwest side of the Ski Trail on
Douglas Island, was officially
named Mt. Troy, in honor of John
Weir Troy, 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
offices of E. L. Keithahn, Secre
tary of the Board, it was announced
today.
The meeting was attended by
Board 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
three 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 be named
in honor of Governor Troy was
more appropriate as it is directly
in view from Juneau where he lived
for so many years.
The action by the Alaska Com
mittee will be sent to the Board
on Geographic Names in Wash
ington, D. C. for confirmation
which has been assured.
MERIT SYSTEM EXAMS

tions will be given to between 150

proximately 150 shorthand and
typing students took the examina
tions and all those who were avail
able were placed in jobs, Mont
gomery said.

PROHIBITION OF
ANIMAL CRUELTY
NOW IN SENATE
Rep. George Gasser's bill defin
ing and prohibiting cruelty to ani
manls and prescribing penalties, H.
B. 58, is now in the Senate after
having passed the House by a 20-4
vote with Reps. Hope, Kay, Madsen
and Wells voting against it.
The measure, as passed, is some-,
what modified from the original
version in most of its provisions. It'
was amended, however, to prohibit
the poisoning of any domestic ani
mal, a provision that was not in
the original bill.
A portion of the original bill pro
hibiting vivisection was deleted en
tirely and a prohibition against the
lighting of any animals for support
was amended to prohibit only the
fighting of bears, dogs, cocks and
bulls.
