OUR EW PRE IDE JOHN RICHIE SCHULTZ HE RESOLUTION passed hy the Board of Trustees early in May making Dr. Schultz' position as acting president permanent was met with whole-hearted approhation from the faculty, students and alumni of Allegheny. His months as temporary head had proved the former Dean of lVlen's ability as an executive and his ca- pacity for dealing with the unusual and complex problems of a college in wartime. Better than anyone else he was in a position to understand and minimize succeeding difficulties as they arose. As Dean of Men, head of the English depart- ment, and an instructor in English, Dr. Schultz has served Allegheny faithfully for almost twenty-six years. His years of teaching and as Dean have brought him a real understanding of the students, and his unfailing good humor and lack of preju- dice have Won their confidence many times over. He is, and has been all along, the students' choice. We were proud and happy to have him as our friend, and are prouder and happier to have him as president of our school.

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.
