"In my opinion you are the ideal professor.  You conducted the class intelligently and efficiently and at the same time created an atmosphere of friendliness — I have never before seen an instructor that possessed all three of these qualities." — Student Letter, 1951
UCLA Mardi Gras King — 1953

[CLA Campus Newspaper Dated Friday, April 5, 1953]

Baldwin Leads in King Contest

Dr. Woodrow W. Baldwin displaced Capt. Richard Hurley as leader in the Mardi Gras King contest with 6,083 votes to Capt. Joseph Conte's second place total of 3,856.  Hurley was in third place with 3,521 votes.

Deadline for the Mardi Gras King Contest has been extended until today so that interested Bruins can have more time to push their favorite professor to the top.  The winner will be crowned Friday at the Mardi Gras Coronation Ball with all the pomp and circumstances of a British coronation, according to Dick Orgell, Mardi Gras chairman.

Meanwhile, Monday evening, singing quartets will visit all the living groups around campus to publicize the event.  The king's court will be composed of the presidents of the four class councils and their dates.

Circulating among the students at the Mardi Gras will be minstrels, clowns, and an organ grinder with a monkey.  The faculty member chosen as king will present the award for the best decorated booth and the other booth awards will be given out by the movie star to be disclosed next week.
