E I C I TO DOCTOR JULIAN LENHART ROSS E D E D I C A T E our book to you, Doctor Julian. There are not many men truly worthy of idealization, but those of us who have known you and for whom you are a personal and intellectual guide- post, we doubt not at all your worthiness. The depth of patient understanding, the limitless store of knowledge, the unfailing good judgement which resides beneath your unassuming manner have inspired and heartened us, time without number. Perhaps we haven't studied too hard nor listened too intently, but you have given us a respect for fineness, a desire after culture, and a pattern to follow which we shall remember still, long after we have forgotten Aristotle,s rules of thought. But in this year when the robot ranks of brutality and force are threatening our way of life, you have become more than an individual to whom your students look for guidance and inspiration. You are our symbol of freedom, the thoughtful introspection, the good-natured tolerance, the simple decency for which we are fighting. You are America at its best. lVIay we hope that our best is enough to pre- serve the foundations upon which, in the years to come, other men of your calibre may build a World of lasting peace, a world where no one may challenge the right of Julian Ross to think, to speak, to teach as he pleases.
