University of North Dakota Athletics

  Dr. Spear came to UND from Dickinson, N.D., was a standout trackman. He set a new record in the javelin in the North Central Conference meet at Sioux Falls, S.D., hurling the spear 201 feet five inches on his last throw of the event. That record stood in the books for 14 years. He also served as the UND track team's Captain in 1941. He graduated in 1941 with a Bachelor of Arts Degree, and the following year with a Bachelor of Science in Medicine, and later his M.D. degree from Temple University in Philadelphia in 1943; and is still a great supporter of not only UND athletics, but the University itself.
