After almost 10 months of directing the affairs of the University on an interim basis, Dr. James C. Olson has been named president, the 16th in the University's history.

Dr. Olson, 60, served as chancellor of UMKC from 1968 to 1976. Prior to that, most of his academic career was spent at the University of Nebraska. He joined the faculty there in 1946 as a lecturer and became a full professor in 1956. He headed Nebraska's history department from 1956 to 1965.

Dr. Olson served as associate dean and dean of the graduate college at Nebraska and was vice chancellor for graduate studies and research before joining UMKC. While with the University of Nebraska, Dr. Olson also served as director of the Nebraska State Historical Society.

A native of Bradgate, la., Dr. Olson received an A.B. from Morningside College in Sioux City, la., in 1938, and an M.A. in 1939 and a Ph.D. in 1942, both from the University of Nebraska.

He served with the Army Air Force in the Pacific during World War II. He

entered service as a private and was discharged as a first lieutenant.

He is the author of numerous books and articles, many of them dealing with Nebraska history, and has contributed essays to the Americana, Britannica and World Book encyclopedias.

'I do accept' Following are Dr. Olson's impromptu acceptance remarks on being named president at the March 18, 1977, meeting of the Board of Curators: "Mr. Williams, members of the board, you are probably advantaged by the fact that I have not had time to prepare an acceptance speech. Let me say that I do accept this appointment. It is a great honor to be asked to serve as president of this distinguished public university. I must say that I come to this position, in view of my experience of the last nine and a half months, with a rather considerable degree of humility, indeed perhaps more than I would have brought to it nine or ten months ago.

"I'm fully cognizant of the problems associated with a position such as this. And I know, too, that the years ahead are not going to be years of great expansion for higher education as we have known in the past. But rather the mission before us will be the development of Quality, the reallocation of resources, the changing of the University to meet new needs and . new reQuirements.

"During the past nine and a half months I have enjoyed the full cooperation of this board, and I am deeply grateful for that. You have put up with uncertain steps and have been most generous. I've enjoyed the full cooperation of the faculties, the administrative staff, the students, the alumni, friends of the University, indeed, the citizens of this state.

"I can only say-and I'm going to use the 'we' in this instance because I've been in this activity long enough to know that these kinds of jobs are twoperson jobs-Vera and I will give this position the best of which we are capable, and we seek the continued support of all. Thank you very much."
