Professor Emeritus of Speech Vic Powell H’55 congratulates Huebner on his lecture but corrects the artist regarding Vic's age. Huebner declared the much-admired speech professor, former dean, and one-time acting president of the College one of "my heroes," but incorrectly estimated his age as "106."
