MONTANA'S STATESMAN
Mike Mansfield was the longest-serving majority leader in the U.S. Senate when he retired in 1976. After earning degrees at UM, he taught history here until he was elected to Congress in 1942. Altogether he served 45 years in the House and Senate and as Ambassador to Japan. The University Library and U.S.-Asian Relations Study Center bear both his and his wife's name.
