KU Professor of Design Selected To Design, Sculpt 1965 Senior Gift
A KU professor of design has been selected to do the bas-relief sculpture on the senior gift of 1965.
Prof. Elden C. Teft has been chosen by the senior gift committee to work on a design for the wood and bronze tablet, commemorating KU professors who have been awarded Distinguished Professorships.
"The design will be something to suggest the dignity and honor and academic standards of the professors who are related to this and also something related to the University.
Basing his remarks on the discussions he has had so far with the Senior Gift Committee, Prof. Tefft said:
Prof. Tefft was asked yesterday if he knew what the design for the bronze tablet would be. He said he did not have any definite design as yet and was waiting until he met with the Senior Gift Committee and a representative from the art company in New York which is to do the actual casting of the model.
"It WILL PROBAFLY be some months before the design is generated in my mind," Prof. Teft explained.
Dave Martin, Coffeyville senior and Senior Gift Committee chairman, estimated the completion date for the tablet as next November when it will be placed in the main entrance to Watson Memorial Library.
Prof. Tefft said it can't be before that date because it will take him several weeks to work on the actual design and at least six weeks for the New York company to cast his model.

Martin said his committee will work with Prof. Teft on the design but that the professor "has somewhat of a free hand" in what he designs.
Martin said his committee would like to incorporate the academic theme of the tablet with the University.
"The design will probably have a few figures and maybe the outline of the University. It is limited by only its size," Martin said.

He estimated the completed tablet with rosewood base would be about four by six feet.
SINCE THE HONOR was initiated about seven years ago. 16 Distinguished Professorships have been awarded.
