Davis graduated from Loveland High School in 1947 and enrolled at the University of Colorado at Boulder to stay close to home and near his high school sweetheart, Pollyanne Peterson. He chose a physical education major and English minor. After graduating in 1951, he remained at the University as assistant to the dean of men. He resigned the position to enlist in the U.S. Marine Corps. The spring of his senior year he married Peterson. In 1960, Davis completed his master's degree in education at the Colorado State College of education in Greeley and became CU's alumni director while working on his doctoral degree in education. Davis was hired to be the football team's interim head coach on March 27, 1962. He had no collegiate coaching experience, just five years as a high school head coach. The Buffaloes had just one win entering the finale at home on November 24, but pulled off an inspired 34-10 upset of heavily-favored Air Force at Folsom Field to finish at 2-8, the worst record in the program's 72-year history. The eight-month Bud Davis era at Boulder ended that day with his post-game resignation. fter receiving his doctoral degree in 1963, Davis left CU to become executive assistant to the president for student affairs at the University of Wyoming in Laramie. In 1972, while president at Idaho State in Pocatello, Davis won the Democratic nomination for the open U.S. Senate seat in Idaho. He was defeated in the general election by Republican Congressman Jim McClure. He was the President of Idaho State University (1965-75) and University of New Mexico (1975-82), Chancellor of the Oregon University System (1982-89) and Louisiana State University (1989-96). He has published other works, including Miracle on the Mesa / A History of the University of New Mexico, 1889-2003. Inscribed By the Author.

Hard Back. Condizione: As New. Condizione sovraccoperta: As New. 496 Pages. Brand new in original factory shrink wrap. Illustrated with 57 colour photos and190 halftones. Written by former UNM president William "Bud" Davis, Miracle on the Mesa covers the changes and growth experienced by the University since its founding on February 28, 1889. The story of the Miracle on the Mesa is told chronologically, within the framework of each administration, beginning with the "joint presidencies" of Elias S. Stover and Hiram Hadley, who served from 1892 through 1897, and ending with Louis Caldera, current (2006) president of UNM. More than just a history of the university, Davis's lively text also provides a unique look at Albuquerque and its citizens during each time period. For example, this colorful description of the equipment football players wore in the 1890s. - Our canvas suits--those who were fortunate enough to have them--carried little padding except where towels were stuffed over shoulders and knees. Head-gears, nose-guards, and helmets were not yet introduced and all players cultivated heavy heads of hair for protection. UNM alumni, former and current UNM students, and former and current faculty members and administrators will enjoy reading about the efforts that have gone into making the University of New Mexico the quality institution of higher learning that it is today: the Miracle on the Mesa. Large heavy book that may inur additional shipping charges to some locations. Contents: Early New Mexico to 1889, Founding of the University of New Mexico, Administrations of Elias S.
