Indian Affairs. Mrs. Boyden, a graduate of USU and a former member of the USU Board of Trustees, has been active in support of the University. In Sickness and in Health Although John had an operation for a hernia in January, 1972, his health was excellent until his last series of illnesses. He continued to maintain a busy schedule as long as he was physically able to do so. The move to the tenth floor suite offices in the Kemecott Building came in 1972.
