Plough. Dedication I i -ln . Professor Plough, a well-known biologist, visited Russia last summer for the State Department. Although most Amherst men have never associated with Professor Harold H. Plough in the classroom, they have all benefited indirectly from him. He has guided the development of biology at Amherst and has taken the lead in creating a scientific commimity Whose widespread contributions to the art of teach- ing and the field of research have been remarkable. Since his return to his Alma Mater in 1917, Prof. Plough's dream has been to develop at Amherst a center for research which could provide the best training for students and make significant contribu- tions to science. His widespread knowledge has en- abled him to teach courses normally requiring the skills of three different departments, and he has most emphatically demonstrated his excellence in his role as a laboratory teacher. All his endeavors have been governed by his belief that integrity is essential to the progress of science and humanity. In addition to writing for scientific journals, Pro- fessor Plough has served in both World Wars and has been a member of the Atomic Energy Commis- sion. He recently toured Russia to study progress in biological research and genetics for the State Depart- ment, and he is currently vice-president of the Ameri- can Association for the Advancement of Science. It can be said with all sincerity that Professor Plough is a giant in Amherst's history. For his efforts We are deeply grateful.
