		Wells was a Progressive who thought that the university had a duty to apply its knowledge to the problems of mankind, and he lived what he preached.
		Wells had no need to be threatening, and no wish to be rude, and so he pretended to be a simple, unassuming man in a complex world.

	IU Bloomington's Main Library to be named for Herman B Wells

		They said Wells would have been too modest to name a building after himself, though he was primarily responsible for the building of the present library, having made it one of his pet projects during his 24-year tenure as IU president and 38-year tenure as IU-Bloomington chancellor.
		IU alumnus Ron Vallenger, who is a member of a group of Wells’ friends and coworkers named "Hermie's Army," served as one of Wells’ many houseboys and lived with him and his mother across from the library in the '60s.
		Wells began the policy, Herbert said, and he doubted the man would have wanted to make himself an exception to his own rule.

		Being Lucky is the name of Herman B. Wells' autobiography, and the fact that Dr. Wells is still alive, still active and still chancellor of Indiana University at the age of 97 might indicate he knows a bit about luck.
		Wells' extraordinary talents could have taken him anywhere: to state and national politics, ambassadorial positions, big business, you name it.
		A few years ago I asked Wells how he was feeling and he replied, "I feel like the bottom of a bird cage." As those close to him will attest, Wells still sports a Hoosier-sized sense of humor.

		I do not claim to have proven the nation's military and cultural fates hinge upon the return of "Soul." I would claim, however, that Herman B. Wells, through his deeds and ideals, represents not only the best of Indiana University, but the nation as well.
		Stealing "Soul" directly disrespected Herman B. Wells' legacy, a legacy that wholly represents the ideals for which Americans have previously fought, and now, as this is read, prepare to fight and possibly die.
