Dykstra to U.C.L.A.

The University of Wisconsin's big, high-domed, Dutch-blooded President Clarence Addison Dykstra is an exceptionally well rounded man. One result is that he has sometimes impressed the state's farmers as too much of a city fellow, the Legislature as too much of a professor, the faculty as too much of a Rotarian type. His resignation last week will take him where folks consider him one of their own.

Accepting an offer to become Provost of the Los Angeles Campus of the University of California--second largest division (8,000 students) of the peacetime world's second largest university (first: New York University)--he said: "The post at Los Angeles is the only university position in the country which could take me from the University of Wisconsin. It is the University which I left [as professor of municipal administration] to become city manager of Cincinnati. I have deep roots in the Los Angeles community. I take this action with very real regrets."

Clarence Dykstra likes California's climate. He also likes the fact that when he goes west on Feb. 1 he will be only 50 miles from his home at Laguna Beach.
