Show Alumni Association officers congratulate J. M. Clifford (left) on his speech at the Founder's Day banquet."We engage aggressively with our readers" stated J. M. Clifford, President of Curtis Publishing Co. and speaker at the 115th Founder's Day Banquet. The silver-haired publisher said that the communication explosion may be fully as significant as the blast at Hiroshima. Early in his address alumnus Clifford said, "Education lubricates the process of communicating." Prior to the talk, the Alumni Association presented bronze plaques to four distinguished alumni: Dr. C. Lowell Lees, president-director of the Pasadena Playhouse and long-time head of the University Theatre; Harold Orlob, world-famed composer-director and charter member of the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers; C. Jay Parkinson, President of the Anaconda Company and industrial and civic leader in New York; and the late Gail Plummer, 27 years director of Kingsbury Hall and the man who fought through the construction of the new Salt Lake Library. The banquet and award ceremony was sponsored by the University of Utah Alumni Association and Emeritus Club. Co-chairman for the program were Beverly Beesley Richards and J. Thomas Greene, who also served as the Master of Ceremonies.FOUNDERS DAY |
