Searle UMW Thank You. Material: wood, metal. Size: 13" W. x 15" L. Description: wooden rectangle - gold metal plate on front printed in black: "UMW Humbly, But Proudly Says Thank You Rod Searle Former Speaker of the House and Representative District 30B" - Photo etching of Rod Searle in center - "The University of Minnesota Technical College, Waseca exists today 'Because of Representative Rod Searle,' said one educational leader of Minnesota. 'Searle is known for his work in education, but he also has a deep respect for the land,' said a southern Minnesota newspaper editorial. It is fitting, then, that a man who loves the land and has referred to Minnesota as a 'gift of God' should feel that he is a part of this technical college for agriculture in Minnesota. We are proud to have had a very close association with Representative Searle, and sincerely thank him for his outstanding service and support of UMW. Given this 13th day of June, 1980. Edward C. Frederick, Provost."
