"Dean Maynard Hine (on bulldozer) and IU president Herman B Wells participated in the groundbreaking ceremony for an addition to the School of Dentistry Building in 1958."

Black and white photograph. A multi-storied college campus building extends up off the frame in the background. The building has many windows. There is the side shot of a large bulldozer in the middle of the picture. An elderly white man wearing a suit is sitting on the bulldozer in the driver's seat facing the photographer. A large white man in a suit stands to the right side of the bulldozer looking at the other man. His arm stretches out and rests on the bulldozer.
Winning Entry!

Herman Wells always knew that IUPUI was really just IU's sidekick.. so he thought giving it toys would make it feel better about itself.

The planned Heavy Equipment Operator Program at IUPUI was scrapped after Dean Maynard Hine inexpicably jumped on a bulldozer and destroyed the Dental School parking lot, practically running over President Herman B. Wells in the process.  Traumatized by the event, Wells' right arm stood out rigidly perpendicular to his body for several mniutes.

Dean Hine: "I think we should make the new addition look completely different than the original building." President Wells: "That's a great idea! And maybe in the future if we add on again we should make it look completely different than the others"
