Dedication J. Howard Pew c.c.c. 'oo J. Howard Pew, one of the most olistinguishecl and loyal alumni of Grove City College, has had a bril- Iiant industrial career with Sun Oil Company, serving for thirty-five years as president of the company, and now as chairman of its board. But, despite his many business and civic activities, he has remained a staunch supporter of his Alma Mater. Following the example of his father, Joseph New- ton Pew, president of the Board of Trustees of the college from 1894 until 1912, J. Howard Pew has served the board for fifty-three years, becoming a member in 1912, and succeeding to its presidency in 1931. He has continued to serve the college in that post for the past thirty-four years. Under his guidance, Memorial Hall was erected in 1914 fin memory of his fatherj on the hill above Wolf Creek, thus beginning the construction of the upper campus. Later, the family erected Mary Ander- son Pew dormitory in memory of their mother. Many of the buildings on the campus have been built, in whole or in part, with money contributed by the Pews. In addition, the current proiect, Hoyt Hall, although the gift of hundreds of people, has received its largest contribution from the Pew Foundation. Mr. Pew has devoted incalculable time and effort to Grove City, giving leadership in its constant quest to meet the ever-changing academic standards of the times, and showing a consuming interest in maintaining and im- proving the physical beauty of the campus. As June, 1965, marks the sixty-fifth anniversary of the graduation of J. Howard Pew from this college, the 1965 OUIJA staff takes this opportunity to pub- licly thank Mr. Pew, on behalf of the entire student body, for his long-standing interest, loyalty, and devotion to the progress of Grove City College. Thus we dedicate the 1965 OUIJA to him.
