While looking through some old, dusty history books at
dozens of hazy photogravures, one gets the impression that
possession of a beard (here we go again) in "the good old days"
was a prerequisite to becoming famous.
The two men who were instrumental in establishing the
Elam Lincoln, president of the
University wore beards. Apra
United States from 1861-1865,
signed the land-grant act which
enabled the University to grow;
and Evan Pugh, first president of
the University, did much during
his tenure to further the Univer
sity's name. Other presidents )f
the University who • i.Vbre beards
were William H. Allen, 1864-66;
John Fraser, 1866-68; Thomas H.
Burrowes, 1868-71; James Calder,
1871-80; Joseph Shortlidge, 1880-
81; and George W. Atherton. 1882-
1906.
Presidents Wore Beards
Of course, 'Honest f.be' wasn't
the only United States', president
to sport a chin growth. As. a mat
ter of fact, almost every U. S.
president until the late 1800's wore
a beard. Ulysses S. Grant was not
only a president, but also a fam
ous general in the U.S. Army.
How Grant managed to get around
the Reserve Officers' Training
Corps• regulation banning beards
is still an unsolved mystery.
Jefferson Davis, that rebel revo
lutionary and president of the
southern confederacy, was never
seen__ in public without his "long
mane." And who will ever forget
the "Gentleman of the South,"
General Robert E. Lee? Lee was
said to have taken meticulous care
of his beard as any picture will
show.
Smith Brothers, Too
O the lighter side of things,
how about those wizards of lic
orice,. the Smith Brothers? They
started way back in the late 1800's.
Their product is still going strong,
and so are their beards, as one

that he's the world's oldest beard
grower and therefore has the most

The Lockheed Graduate Study Council offers an
Advanced Study Program to enable
exceptionally qualified individuals to
obtain Master of Science degrees in
prescribed fields. Under this plan the
participants are employed in their
chosen fields in industry and
concurrently pursue graduate study.
During the regular school year the industrial
assignment will be coordinated
with the Study Program to permit a
half-time University schedule of
advanced study. During the school
vacation periods participants will
be employed full-time at the
Lockheed Missile Systems Division.
