1Ye. the Flass of 194-4, hold a singular distinction in the life of Pater. We were the last group of boys hand-picked hy him to enter Kent. as Second Formers. We were the last hrats to whom he lectured from his accustomed seat in the Study. During our Second Form year, l'ater saw his dream of a completed Kent fulfilled with the erection of the Library Building. At the peak of his career. we saw him retire to the revered position of Ileadmaster Emeritus of Kent. Kent is l'ater's creation, and he is the veryjepitome of Kent. ideals. Hy his practicing of the spirit of self-sacrifice and simplicity of life. he pioneered in the educational world in his founding of a new and hetter type of hoarding school. Through his trait of personal self-reliance, l'ater made great strides with his school. advancing it along the paths of excel- lence. Ile has infused this ideal of self-reliance into the hearts and minds of countless alumni of Kent, thereby aiding them in the solution of their problems. I'ater's strongest single quality, that of direetness of purpose, has carried him to the culmination of his 1906 vision. In all his lahors for Kent, he knew what he wanted, sought after it, and has achieved it with admirable success in the completed Kent. An enumeration of l'ater's virtues and accomplishments would he lengthy as well needless. His whole personality and life is summed up in his school. The Class of 1944 salutes him and his work: we look to him with reverence and awe: and we extend our heartfelt good wishes for his continued happiness.
