Before 1964, The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee had no separate Honorary Degrees Committee but had representation on the All-University Committee. This committee selected Mayor Frank P. Zeidler to receive the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws in June 1958 and agreed that the honor be bestowed at the 51ÁÔÆæ Commencement rather than the one in Madison.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On April 9, 1964, the 51ÁÔÆæ faculty voted to establish a \u201cCommittee on Honorary Degrees at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee\u201d. (Fac. Doc. 265).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
