A multimedia computer station was purchased for the Biological Sciences Library with a gift in memory of Professor Nobel K. Peterson. Dr. Peterson taught an introductory soils course, Soils 501, for many years which was very popular with students in part because of his extensive use of creative audiovisual effects. Today we would call these multimedia effects. In 1977, one of his classes presented him with the cape shown above and the poem given below.

 

As we watched you day after day it

Soon became obvious that you were

More than a teacher.

You bore the eccentricities of

Genius and Magic

 

But you were missing something

As you displayed your wizardry of

Media and soils

A wizard without a cloak?

A sad situation indeed

We could not bear to see it continue

 

So, from the Soils 501 Class of 1977

We add this cloak to your wardrobe

And the word wizard to your title.
