Arthur (Art) Davis Hasler
1908-2001
Photo Biography
by his eldest son Arthur Frederick (Fritz)
Art: UW Campus Madison 1933
Biographical Synopsis
(From my memories and a biography by Gene Likens)
Arthur Davis Hasler was born January 5, 1908, in Lehi Utah to Walter Thalman and Ada Elizabeth Hasler. Arthur married Hanna Bertha Prusse on September 6, 1932, in Provo Utah. They were married for 37 years until Hanna died in 1969. Art and Hanna had six children: Sylvia, born 1936, Arthur Frederick (Fritz) 1940, Bruce Davis, 1942, Galen Rolf and Mark Rudolf 1945 and Karl Gregory, 1947. Arthur married Hatheway Minton, July 24, 1971 in Madison Wisconsin and was married to her for 30 years until his death in 2001.
Arthur Learned to play the french horn in high school and continued to play throughout his life including 20 years for the University of Wisconsin Symphony and the Madison Civic symphony. Arthur was very active in the Boy Scouts of American and received the Eagle badge in 1924. Arthur served a 2 year mission for the LDS (Mormon) Church to Germany Czechoslovakia, and Austria from 1928 to 1931. He learned the German language very well on his mission and continued to study and love it for the rest of his life. He graduated from BYU in June of 1932 and married Hanna. They left directly for graduate school when Art began his studies in Zoology at the University of Wisconsin in Madison In 1935 he took a job with the US Fish and Wild Life Service on the Chesapeake Bay and worked for two years while living in York Town Virginia where Sylvia was born.
He returned to the University of Wisconsin in 1937 to finish his PhD in Zoology and begin as an instructor in the department. He was promoted to Assistant Professor in 1941, associate Professor in 1945, and Full Professor in 1948. He served on the Strategic Bombing Survey in Germany for six months in 1945 for the U.S. Army. 52 doctoral students (a full deck) and 43 masters students received their degrees under his supervision His research study that brought him the most acclaim was the scientific proof that salmon find their way back to the stream of their birth by the use of the sense of smell. He wrote over 200 peer reviewed scientific papers and authored or contributed to seven books. In 1954 and 1955 he went on a year sabbatical as a Fulbright Research Scholar at the University of Munich Germany with famous honey bee researcher and Nobel Prize Winner, Professor von Frisch.
He wrote the proposals and received funding from the National Science Foundation to build the Laboratory for Limnology at the University of Wisconsin in 1963 at which time he became Director of the Lab. He was elected as a member of the National Academy of Sciences in 1969. In scientific circles this is an honor short only of winning the Nobel prize. He also received numerous other awards and honorary degrees from other Universities. He received funding for another research lab, this one on his beloved Trout Lake in Northern Wisconsin. He retired in 1978. In 2006 he received the post humus honor of having his lab renamed the Arthur D Hasler Laboratory of Limnology. He survived four different kinds of cancer including, colon, neck, and lung starting in 1972, but died March 23, 2001 of old age. Hundreds attended his funeral in Madison.

Art serves in the LDS German Austrian Mission for 30 months 1927-30
Figure 11: Arthur Hasler, Passport, 1927
(UW-Madison Archives)
His son Galen found this in the University of Wisconsin-Madison Archives along with a complete record of his correspondence through the years. From the stamps on the passport we know that Art landed in Liverpool England on July 23 1927, and served his mission in Germany, Czechoslovakia, Austria, and back in far Eastern Germany which is now in present day Poland. This passport expired May 23, 1929, but it must have been extended. He left his last area of Breslau East Germany on November 6 1929 for an extended tour of European cities according to the travel bureau itinerary that we have. That would make his a total time served in the field to be 28 months. From Church records that he left from Utah on July 8th. 1927. He arrived back in NYC on Christmas Eve according to an article in the Provo Newspaper. After a tour of US cities church records show that he arrived back in Provo about January 18, 1930, so the total time of his mission including travel was ~ 30 months and 10 days. Also note that at 21 he gave his height at 5' 10" He must have matured very late to 6'. In his letters from Salzburg and Linz Austria in 1945 he recalls serving in those cities 15 years earlier on his mission.
Figure 12: Art, Saint Lawence Seaway July 1927
Art left Provo July 8th 1927. He would have taken the train, probably to Chicago where he boarded the Great Lakes Steamer, "The Ocean Wave". The picture above shows him sailing on the "Wave" on the Saint Lawence Seaway.
Figure 13: Art's view of Niagara Falls
Dad's pictures of Niagara Falls were pretty washed out so I inserted one from the same view point from the internet.
When he got to New York he boarded a ship that put him into Liverpool England on July 23, 1927. A train to the ferry then across the English Channel and on a train to Dresden East Germany to meet with the mission president. By July 25, he would be in his first area in Chemnitz an hour southwest of Dresden.
Art served (or had recreational activities) in the following locations with dates, activities and callings.
The words district and conference were used for the same unit during this period. The months refer to the number of months since he arrived on his mission.

Figure 18: President Hasler, Crimmitschau, June 1928
Branch President Hasler & his counselors, Crimmitschau, June 30, 1928
While we don't have specific meta data for this image, it is easy to imagine a young 20-year-old Arthur Hasler, only 11 months out on his mission and only recently becoming fluent in German, as the Branch President for Crimmitshau with his two councilors.
June 11, 1928 "Crimmitschau , Zwickau District, was opened (for missionary work) with a special meeting of all the Elders laboring in this district being in attendance. Elder Arthur Hasler was leading the work." (Quart. Rep., 1928:113) By Saturday, June 30, "Arthur Hasler was appointed to be the President of the Crimmitzschau Branch." a little over 1 hour by car West of Dresden.
(Quart. Rep., 1928:112)
Figure 20: Boy Scout Leader, Art, in Germany?, 1928
Arthur often described his mission as working to help young men advance in Boy Scouts.* "With the issuance of an official charter on May 21, 1913, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints became the first nationally chartered organization to affiliate with the Boys Scouts of America (BSA.) The bridge that would bless the Church and the BSA for the next century was now in place, mutually benefiting both organizations. The LDS Church had recognized the value of scouting a few years earlier and had developed ways to integrate it into their Young Men's program. Indeed the church was rolling out the scout program in Germany as well and Arthur was formally involved. "For the proper organizing and development of the scout work in the mission" he was appointed District Scoutmaster in Chemnitz (February 29, 1928) probably because of his leadership ability and example as an Eagle Scout.
Figure 21: Art & 7 Colleagues, Bad Elster, July 1928
Art called this the "Bathing Review". They were taking a dip in a pond on the 4th of July 1928.
At the Duschzelle (shower stalls) at the pond at Bad Elster 2 hours southwest of Dresden Germany right on the Czechoslovakian border
The sign says that you have to shower your body before you use the pond and no soap allowed in the pond.
Apparently the rules for missionaries in 1928 were different than they are today.

Art served a 30 month (2.5 Years) mission for the LDS (Mormon) Church in Germany from 1927-29.
Dad worked diligently studying German and learned it well. He loved German and the German people and defended them even when Germany wasn't popular in the U.S.
I don't know how many times I heard him say this:
"Meine Beziehung zu der deutschen Sprache ist wie mit meiner Frau, ich kenne sie, ich liebe sie, aber ich beherrsche sie nicht."
English translation: "My relationship with the German language is the same as the one I have with my wife. I know her, I love her, but I can't control her"
Professionally dad was somewhat embarrassed by this part of his resumé. When asked about his mission, he would emphasize the work he had done in Germany to promote the Boy Scout program of the LDS Church. However as you can read in this history, you can see that dad served in very important leadership positions on his mission and could have emphasized that part of his service.
In any case his skill with the German language, gained on his mission, was an extremely important factor determining the direction and success of his scientific career.

27 June 1945 Salzburg
Dear Folks and Sylvia (Provo UT)
...... "Salzburg is pretty badly bombed, but many of the cultural things are undamaged, so reviewing my experiences of 15 years ago (on my mission), I find, I remember very litte because very little here looks familiar to me - - that is proof to me that 15 years is a long time. I wonder if my reaction would be the same to a city I know buch better, like Vienna (where he served as Mormon District President apparently for some time) or Chemnitz" (His first mission service area near Dresden in East Germany starting July 1927)
Figure 29: Art, Austrian Costume, 1928
Art is wearing the full Austrian costume with Lederhosen, the long white sox and the cocked hat. I don't think this was standard LDS missionary dress.
We thought there was a possibility that this was taken during his Germany stint in 1945 (See ring on 4th finger on left hand), but he looks pretty young here, we found other pictures on his mission where he was wearing a ring on the same finger and finally, we found the negative of this image in with his other mission photos.
This should give you some idea of how much dad was a fanboy of Germany and all things German. This worked well for Hanna who was born in Germany and suffered through discrimination as a new immigrant at age 6-8 through WWI.

Dear Folks and Sylvia (Provo UT)
"Some 15 years ago you saw this address on my mail. In the last two days I have been unable to locate my old friend Rudolf Niedermayer who presented me with such a beautiful book on Austria when I left. ..... notice of his death 3 years ago from blood poisoning --- very suddenly. I visited his wife last night ... found her address, she was pleased and looked well."

Leadership assignments continued for Arthur, when on January 11, 1929 he was appointed as the President of the Vienna District (Conference.) In those early days of the lay church in Germany, it was common to call capable young missionary Elders to top leadership positions while the local members matured.

The Millennial Star newsletter dated 12 May, 1929 announced that on March 30 and 31, the Vienna District held its Spring Conference with Mission President Hyrum W Valentine presiding and under the leadership of Vienna District President Arthur D. Hasler. (Church History Library #M 205.5 5839GER page 143.)
The Millennial Star newsletter, dated 31 March 1932 (No. 3 Vol. 94) reveals that Elder Hasler's appointment continued and involved some traveling. In an article called Praying the Czechoslovak Mission into existence, Brother Arthur Hasler, was described as President of the Vienna District of the German-Austrian Mission. He had just returned from the Priesthood Centennial at Leipzig, Germany in May 1929 and had also recently visited Prague, Czechoslovakia. He conveyed to the mission the long prayed for news, that Arthur Gaeth had been appointed by President John A. Widtsoe to start investigations for the immediate opening of the Czechoslovak Mission.
This is the only documentation we have that Art was in Czechoslovakia during his mission.
Figure 36: Art & 23 Colleagues, Breslau, October 1929
By this time Art was out 27 out of his eventual 30 months & was the president of the Breslau District (Conference). See him here with the President of the German Austrian Mission, Hyrum W Valentine, visiting from Dresden. See below the names of each missionary in the photo and the number of months they had served in the German Austrian Mission.
Figure 37: Backside of previous picture
Figure 37: Backside of previous picture
The picture is from a photographic studio in Breslau Germany about 3.5 hours Souteast of Dresden. Breslau is now located in Poland. We know that Art arrived in London on July 23, 1927 so if we add 27 months the date of this photograph would be Oct 1929.
Valentine is visiting with his wife Ellen and two daughters Besel and Dee. They had all been in Germany/Austria for 3 years (36 months) at this time. I was having trouble understanding why a young sister missionary would have her hand on his shoulder, (too young to be his wife), but it makes sense now that I know that Dee is his daughter.
The Millennial Star reports on July 24th and July 31, 1929 that Elder Hasler was transferred to the Breslau District Breslau, Provience Schlesian, Germany,, where he was appointed President of the District.
The Millennial Star dated 15 November 1929 reports that he was honorably released in Breslau.
Arthur's older brother W. Thalman Hasler preceeded him in the mission serving under President Fred Tadje. "Tommy" was appointed to preside over the Vienna Conference (predecessor term for District?) December 31, 1925, and June 30 1926 appointed to the Chemnitz Conference, so the cities of both Vienna and Chemnitz had two Haslers from the same family presiding over them.
Art served the early part of his mission in the Dresden area before being transferred south to Munich in Bavaria and later Salzburg, Linz and Vienna in Austria. Here he is serving out the last months of his mission back in East Germany east of Dresden.

In the US he toured NYC, Boston, Philadelphia, Washington DC and Chicago arriving in Provo on January 18th. He was just in time to start school in BYU for the spring semester. Can anyone explain the picture of dad with the card with the number 1403?
He returns to the US with an excellent ability to understand, and speak German and probably a fair degree of writing skill. With the support of his doctor father, he has made a tour of Europe not that much different than the grand tour of the English Lords.

We have no photographs and no other direct evidence from dad during his mission about his involvement with the scouting program in Germany.
Arthur often described his mission as working to help young men advance in Boy Scouts.* "With the issuance of an official charter on May 21, 1913, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints became the first nationally chartered organization to affiliate with the Boys Scouts of America (BSA.)

Indeed the church was rolling out the scout program in Germany as well and Arthur was formally involved. "For the proper organizing and development of the scout work in the mission" he was appointed District Scoutmaster in Chemnitz (February 29, 1928) probably because of his leadership ability and example as an Eagle Scout.

Art and Hanna were married on September 6th 1932 in the historic Salt Lake Temple. Her sisters Irmgard (left center) and Eveline (right), who were tiny girls on the immigrant boat with her in 1913, were her maid of honor and one of the bridesmaids.

“Hanna and Arthur were married September 6, 1932, in the Salt Lake Temple and they left immediately for graduate school in Madison, Wisconsin” This is the first picture we have of the newlyweds. It was taken in front of the LDS Church in Milwaukee, in 1933 when they were both 25.

In this picture, the Haslers had just made the long trek west to Utah from Yorktown Virginia to attend a Prusse Family reunion. They probably came by car, taking over a week on the road with a stop in Madison, in the days before freeways. They brought their first child, Sylvia, born October 4th 1936, and the first grandchild of Wilhelm & Johanne to meet them and Sylvia’s 13 aunts and uncles.

It's all making sense now. Dad keeps heading west to take a summer job on the west coast as a Ranger and mom stays behind with her folks in Utah with one-year-old Sylvia.
In the Fall he starts his job as an Instructor at the University of Wisconsin in Madison and finishes his PhD.

Figure 35: Art, Army Uniform, Madison, 1945
In 1945, just after the Nazis surrendered, Art volunteered for the Strategic Bombing Survey with the US Army in Germany. Using his German language skills he interviewed German civilians to determine the effectiveness of the indiscriminate bombing and complete destruction of German cities including civilian populations by firebombing during the war. Today we would call this a crime against humanity.
The Survey determined that the the bombing of civilian populations did not break their will, and may even have strengthened their bond with the Nazi government.
We went on firebombing Japanese cities including Tokyo.
The Nazis had started bombing civilians in Guernica (subject of Picasso's famous painting) during the Spanish civil war and continued on with aircraft and missile bombing of civilians in London during the battle of Britain. Therefore it is not too surprising that the allies responded with bombing of civilian populations in Germany. Astonishingly, no one repeated the horrible chemical warfare from WWI.
Figure 35.5 Kids in Rubble, Germany, 1945
This picture best captures the spirit of dad's stories of arriving in Germany just after WWII had ended. I am still looking for the pictures dad took himself. The two little girls are carrying a Christmas tree.
Dad arrived in Germany just after many German cities has been totally destroyed by allied bombing. Dad shared his K-rations and chocolate with the children. He remembered walking down a street with virtually all buildings destroyed on either side. Then out of a basement under the rubble, a little girl emerged, perfectly dressed ready to go to church.

Bottom row: Karl, Galen, Bruce, and Mark.
This picture is quite hilarious because it demonstrates Hanna’s frugality in clothing the children, all wearing hand-me-downs. See Bruce’s way too short jacket for the extreme example. On a new promotion to a University Full Professor’s salary they had a nicely furnished, fancy house, in a good neighborhood, right next to the University, a new car, voice lessons for mom, piano lessons for Sylvia and Fritz and trips out west to Utah every year. However, they had renters to help pay the mortgage and probably had never seen the inside of a restaurant at this point. The car is a 1948 Hudson Commodore that made several trips west to Utah with all eight Haslers aboard before being replaced by a 1954 Nash Ambassador for the trip to Europe.

From Sylvia’s bio: “I remember the morning after Daddy had taken Mother to hear the von Trapp family singers (of Sound of Music fame). Mother was ecstatic. I can still see her joyfully telling me in the kitchen the next morning about her delightful evening at the concert. Here was a musical family singing the songs of her heritage. Rehearsals began at once. We sang and performed together a great deal as a family. We endeavored to "out-Trapp" the von Trapps for years. We all sang parts, and I accompanied the German Christmas carols on the piano……. Daddy played French horn in the Madison Civic Orchestra and University Opera Productions for twenty-five years. We attended his concerts and the annual Messiah productions”

"In 1954, Arthur took a year long sabbatical to the University of Munich in Germany with the whole family of eight in tow. Hanna spoke fluent German from her childhood in Germany and with her family in America. Arthur had learned excellent German on his mission in Dresden East Germany. Now it was time for all the children to be enrolled in German schools and learn German as well. Before long the whole family was speaking fluent German and singing German folk and Christmas songs, informally: the von Hasler Family Singers."

The Haslers rented this big house in the Schwabing section of Munich. From there the kids commuted to school and University by streetcar. Note the boys are all wearing German military type hats.
“Our German Christmas was the delight of our lives. Mother was in her element. We had a tree with real candles on it that year in Munich, and a real St. Nicholas came to our home and recounted our failings, admonishing us to be better before December 25. Mother discovered Advent's wreaths. We burned dozens of red candles, attended Christmas oratorios, and enjoyed the beautiful many-colored Christmas decorations and marzipan (figures made of almond paste). The Christmases of Mama's childhood, as portrayed valiantly by her immigrant parents, were resurrected by a delighted Hanna and truly celebrated at Kunigundenstrasse 55”

Sylvia and Gilbert Lionel Thatcher were married in the Salt Lake Temple Sept 4, 1956. Art and Hanna’s first child and only daughter was now married. they only had five boys to go.

I am holding my Kneisl Riesen Slalom (Giant Slalom) skis, Karl is holding the new Holzner GS skis I had brought for him, Mark & Galen. Behind us was the new red VW bug with skis on the rack that I had bought for the family in Germany. The Marker safety bindings on my Kneisls weren't so safe as I totally broke my lower left leg while skiing in Switzerland.

Art wrote the proposals and received funding from the National Science Foundation to build the Laboratory for Limnology at the University of Wisconsin in 1963 at which time he became Director of the Lab. He moved lab from a grungy little building at the end of Park Street. The lab was renamed the Arthur D Hasler Laboratory for Limnology in 2006.

Back row: Galen, Mark, Bruce, and Karl
Front row: Arthur, Hanna, Fritz, Mary, and Sylvia
Fritz’s four brothers were the best men and his sister Sylvia was a bridesmaid along with Mary’s three sisters. Hanna was driven to see her children married, but only lived to see Sylvia, Fritz, and Bruce marry. She got to know four grand children. Sylvia and Gilbert’s Laurel, Blaine and Sabina were 7, 5, and 3 (see Figure 41) while Fritz and Mary’s Anneliese was 18 months old when she died. The newlyweds went to Glacier National Park and Canada on their honeymoon. Hanna and Art met them at the Salt Lake City temple where they were sealed (official Mormon marriage) by one of the 12 apostles, Harold B. Lee, who became President of the Church in 1972.
In the next image we see the assembled group and dinner table for the blessing of Anneliese (born December 4th 1967), the first child of Fritz and Mary Huebner Hasler. Shown is the wonderful dining room with bay window of the 205 Lathrop Street house. The great round dinner table with large Lazy Susan in the middle. A large turkey is carved in the foreground with mashed potatoes; on the Lazy Susan are homemade dinner rolls and the gravy for the mashed potatoes. A typical dinner, and number of guests, that Hanna served for Art innumerable times during her life.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
As recalled in the biographical synopsis at the beginning of this blog post:
Art survived four kinds of cancer, two surgeries, and chemo therapy. He wore a colostomy bag for the last 20? years of his life which he handled with amazing competence and good cheer.
However, the last 10? years, particularly the last two years of his life were very sad. For the last 10? years of his life he suffered from macular degeneration of his retinas. He was essentially totally blind except for his peripheral vision which was only a blur. He carried monocular telescope around his neck, but I looked through it once and I'm not sure it helped him as he didn't even have the focus set properly. The last two years he suffered from dementia which got progressively worse. Hatheway was a true saint, to guide and help him through his last years.
I won't do this justice, but near the end of his life, I remember him saying something like this to Hatheway, his wife of 30 years: "I know you, I know your name, it's right on the tip of my tongue, help me with it, please help me"
Even with dementia at this level dad would repeat over and over his favorite saying about the German language (see Figure 11 1928) and his favorite German Poem:
