Former University President J. W. Maucker Dies
J.W. Maucker, who served as university president from 1950-1970, died on
July 5th at the age of 92. When he became the fifth president of UNI,

youngest college presidents in the Midwest. During his tenure,
enrollment grew from 2,688 to 9,496, curricular offerings were
extensively revamped, and the college was changed from an emphasis
strictly on teacher education to the provision of degrees in the liberal
and vocational arts. Following a position at Emporia State University in
Emporia, Kansas, he and his wife Doreen retired in Cedar Falls. He was
preceded in death by his first wife, Helga. |
