Mrs. V . H . McNutt received the first degree of Doctor of Humane Letters (Honoris Causa ) ever conferred at UMR. She is also the first woman to receive an honorary de g r e e at the SchooL She is the widow of the late V. H. McNutt '12, and former instructor in Geology at MSM. The McN utts left the cam pus in 191 3, when they established a consulting firm in Tulsa, Oklahoma. In 1919 , the McNutts embarked upon extensive field investigations in the Rocky Mountain states which led, in 1925 , to the discovery near Carlsbad, New Mexico, of the first commercially valuable potash deposits in the Western Hemisphere.

Dr. McNutt, as a result of her industrious sharing of her husband 's activities over the years, became a competent and highly knowledgeable field assistant, transcriber of notes, and in fact, expert in the practical aspects of geo logical discovery and exploitation of mineral res ources.

Ju ne 1967

The McNutts for med the United Potash Company, in 1925, and it hecame the nation's most important producer of this valued industrial and agricultural resource . In the years since Mr. McNutt 's passing in 1936, Mrs . McNutt has carried on their tradition of astute business practices premised upon careful planning and application of her experience in mineral industry.

Mrs. McNutt's contributions to the University of Missouri School of Mines and Metallurgy and the U niversity of Missouri at Rolla over a period of many years have been invaluable to the institutions national stature, its faculty and its student body. Her most recent large philanthropy on behalf of the University was the creation of the V. H. McNutt Foundation, the income from which is used to advance the professional development of th e staff and student body of the Department of Geology. She is also concerned, personally, with the progress and scholarly d evelopment of the people of the campus community. Her interest extends to an intimate and regular association with the faculty members , members of the administration and students.

Julius C. Miller '14, wealthy pioneer member of the Owensboro, Kentucky, oil fraternity, died Friday, May 19, 196 7 in the Owensb oro - Daviess County Hospital after a long illness. H e was an Army Captian in World W ar I , and became interes ted in oil aft er his arrival in Owensboro in 1923. The first well he drilled in Kentucky he hit and by 1929 , he formed a partnership with the late N . W. Shiarello, known as Miller & Shiarella oil producing firm.

Mr. Miller was responsible for the return of organized baseball return ing to Owensboro in 1936, with a Class D team of the Kitty Leag ue and he spon-

;a

kla·

urn June 1967

sored the building of a modern baseb all park , with the first game played on May 20, 1937. Mr. Miller was the first president of the Ow ensboro R ecreation Corporation. It was named th e ORC Field and was later changed to Miller Field, in h onor of the man largely res ponsible for the return of organized b aseball to Owensboro. On August 1 8, 19 39, "Miller Night " was held and "J ule 's " ambition to "fill " th e park was achieved when 5,932 persons paid their way to honor him .

Mr. Miller during the depress ion days raised money from the oil men of Owensboro for needy boys and girls making a brighter Christmas for them.

"Eggie," the nickname he acquired at the School of Mines , was the center on that fam o us 191 4 Football Team and the "s p ark -plug" that attained their road to fame that year. H e married Miss Etta Bernice Fitts, in 1929, who preceded him in death in July 1965. Mr. Miller was chairman of the Daviess County Draft Board in World War II, a mem.b er of the Owensbor o B.P.O. Elks , the Owensboro Country Club , Kappa Alpha social fraternity, and the Trinity Episcopal Church.
