...When Colorado-born Jean Paul Mather became president of the University of Massachusetts in Amherst two years ago at 39, he knew that he had a problem campus on his hands.

It had grown from an uninspiring prewar institution with four small divisions, 1,260 students and 45 buildings to one with 75 buildings, an enrollment of 4,300, schools of agriculture, engineering, nursing, home economics and business administration.

Later, he took over as deputy engineer to double-track the Sierra crest, moved up steadily and, in 1952, became president...
...When the University of North Carolina met North Carolina State in an Atlantic Coast Conference basketball game at Chapel Hill, not a Rebel was on the starting teams. North Carolina's Tarheels, with sharpshooters from New Jersey, Brooklyn and The Bronx, held off the Wolfpack Yankees from Colorado, Indiana, Pennsylvania and Ohio, scored one of the season's biggest upsets...
