Former 'U' president honored

When he was MSU's president from 1941 through 1969, John Hannah used to walk every morning from his home at Cowles House to Linton Hall office. Stopping to bow his hat or talk to almost every student along the way was important to the university's 12th president, his friend and colleague, Roger Wilkinson said. "He was very interested in the grounds - he loved the beauty of campus," said Wilkinson, who was a student during Hannah's presidency and the vice president of finance and operations during Hannah's last year as president.
