Thor Wilhelm Gullicksen

PROFESSOR T. W. GULLICKSEN of St. Paul, Minnesota, passed away on the afternoon of September 30, 1961. He was enjoying a football game when death came quickly and quietly.

Professor Gullicksen was born in Cushing, Wisconsin, August 26, 1887. He attended the rural and public schools in that community from 1894 to 1901 and later the academy at St. Olaf College, North-field, Minnesota, from 1905 to 1908. His teaching career began in 1909 when he was selected principal of the grammar school in his home county; a position he held until 1912.

He returned for further training to the State Normal School at River Falls, Wisconsin and, following graduation, he was appointed instructor in Agriculture at the Richland Center High School and served there from 1913 to 1916. Professor Gullicksen's quest for further training in Agriculture took him to the University of Minnesota where he earned the B.S. degree in 1916.
