Recollections
from Dean Henken
 A telephone service provider said he was glad to have the campus as a client, but they “sure did ruin some good hunting land.”
Eugene McPhee, secretary of the Board of Regents of the Wisconsin State University System, referred to the campus as a jewel. Criticism about the large size of the campus led McPhee to quip, “I told the committee to have Henken mow the grass.”
The support of then-county administrator Don Flanders, “a driving force in making the campus a reality.”
The names of the students honored as the first registered on campus: Dale Boyke and Miss Randy Simons.
Ken Thomas’ contributions in creating solid student programs, and his willingness to relocate from the Oshkosh campus. “He had a knack for thinking up attractions. He equipped the student center well. He was a real asset to campus.”
The arrival of Allen H. Loehndorf as director of student services and Eugene J. Beck as registrar, both early colleagues who helped shape the campus.
The Madrigal Dinners, which transformed the campus with Medieval revelry and music, and brought together students, faculty and community members.
The day Jack Heil, Ph.D. (physics, emeritus) relayed that UW-Madison was recommending engineering transfer students complete the first two years of study in Fond du Lac’s rigorous program.
