mained there until 1975 when he
retired back to Eugene.
Wilson once said education is
the most important concern of
life.
“The power of ideas depends
upon the cultivation of man’s
power of reason,” he once wrote
in an article for Old Oregon while
he was president. "The power of
ideas depends upon the cultiva
tion of man's power to reason.
This power is greatest where men
have already achieved wisdom.
Men are born capable of reason,
but they are not born wise. The
development of wisdom is the
true purpose of education and
wisdom in the proper end of man.
For me, therefore, education is
the never ending vocation of
man.”
Wilson was born in Colonia
Juarez, Chihuahua, Mexico on
Sept. 21, 1909. He received his
bachelor of arts degree from
Brigham Young University in
1934, performed graduate studies
at the universities of Heidelberg
and London from 1936-1937 and
received his Ph.D. in history from
the University of California in
1943.
He began his academic career
as an assistant professor at
Brigham Young University in
1937 and served on facilities of
the universities of Utah and
'' Chicago and as dean of University
College at the University of Utah.
He worked as secretary for the
Fund for the Advancement of Ed
ucation at the Ford Foundation
before his appointment at the
University.
In addition to his wife, Wilson
is survived by his three sons,

gonians for Rationality. “We just
want people to know that extra
ordinary claims require extraor
dinary science.
“We look at pseudoscientific
claims like cold fusion, alien ab
ductions and the legend of the
Bigfoot and expose their lack of
evidence,” Reese said.
Reese and Clay have even gone
to the Oregon Vortex, a popular
tourist stop that claims to be an
area where the laws of physics
are askew. With a little research,
they were able to discover that
appearances can be deceiving.
“We went to the Oregon Vor
tex and found that some of the
claims were simply optical illu
sions where something or some
one looks bigger or smaller than
it really is,” Clay said. “All we
had to do was measure the sub
jects to prove that they were not
really abnormally sized. ... We
even found magnets buried in
the ground.”
Reese and Clay worry that the
public is becoming more and
more prone to believe in super
natural events without question
ing where they are coming from.
They think that fantastic stories
should be kept in the realm of
fiction.
“If it is done for the fun of it,
the stories about alien abduc
tions and things like crop circles
are all right,” Clay said. "But
what do you do when an entire
culture leaves reality behind?”
