Historical Note
The inauguration of Richard Anderson Harvill consisted of a series of
major campus wide events which took place over homecoming weekend, November
fifteenth through the seventeenth, 1951.
The festivities began with an informal, private dinner hosted by Dr.
Harvill, at the Arizona Inn, on Thursday November fifteenth. Immediately
following the dinner, was an Open House at the Arizona State Museum, presenting
the new Gila Pueblo Archeological Collection donated to The University of
Arizona by Mr. and Mrs. Harold S. Gladwin.
Friday, November sixteenth began with a Symposium entitled, "Arizona,
Land of Promise and Fulfillment." The event was chaired by Thomas G. Chapman,
Dean of the College of Mines and Metallurgy at The University of Arizona. The
speakers included four past University presidents: Homer L. Shantz, Rufus B.
von KleinSmid, James Byron McCormick, and Alfred Atkinson. The Symposium was
followed by a luncheon at the Student Union, with Howard Pyle, Governor of
Arizona, as the principal speaker.
Following the luncheon, was the formal inauguration program, presided by
Robert L. Nugent, vice-president of The University of Arizona. The event
featured addresses by Melvin T. Solve, Chairman of the faculty; Douglas Ward,
President of the University student body; Fred Stofft, President of the
University Alumni Assocation; Howard Pyle, Governor of Arizona; and Dr. J.
Roscoe Miller, President of Northwestern University. Dr. Harvill's induction
was presided over by Cleon T. Knapp, President of the Board of Regents of the
University and State Colleges of Arizona.
Immediately following the inauguration ceremony, was a reception and the
formal opening of the new Kress Collection of European Masterpieces at the
University of Arizona Art Gallery. This collection consisted of 25 pieces
placed on indefinite loan to The University of Arizona by the Samuel K. Kress
Foundation.
Following the opening was a private performance of the musical
"Brigadoon," presented by the University of Arizona College of Fine Arts for
Dr. Harvill, his personal guests, and invited delegates.
Homecoming day, Saturday November seventeenth, was the formal dedication
ceremony for the new Student Union Memorial Building. President Harvill was the
Chairman for the event which featured addresses by former University of Arizona
Presidents, James Byron McCormick, and Alfred Atkinson, and an address by
Arizona Governor Howard Pyle. The dedication address was delivered by Cleon T.
Knapp.
Following the dedication, was the Homecoming football game, Arizona vs.
Idaho, with a special half-time presentation to the Football team of 1901, and
the Silver Jubilee Celebration by the Class of 1926.
