Herbert B. Maw

Herbert Brown Maw (March 11, 1893 – November 17, 1990) was an American politician and educator who was the eighth governor of Utah.[2] While in school at the University of Utah, he joined the Sigma Chi fraternity and became a member of the inaugural pledge class initiated to the Beta Epsilon chapter.[3] Before he was deployed in this service he was made an LDS Chaplain with the rank of First Lieutenant and assigned to work with the 89th Division at Camp Funston, Kansas.He also attempted (successfully) to attract military facilities and related industries to Utah during World War II; the resulting increase in employment revived the state's economy and helped retire public debt.[9] In 1944 Maw was narrowly re-elected over Republican J. Bracken Lee in the closest gubernatorial election in Utah history.
