cppiotiaHt It is inevitable that in every college changes should occur in the teaching staff. These vacancies are filled and the work goes on as before. The administration is satisfied if the work is maintained at the desired standard of eff iciency. When Doctor James Cloy Dolley requested that he be granted the retired status, last June the College sustained a loss for which there was no compensation. Provision was made for the work of his department, but a landmark hod been removed. When, on February 6th, he departed from among the living the loss was made absolute. For forty-three years Doctor Dolley gave generously of his scholarship, counsel and friendship to hundreds whose lives were enriched, inspired and stabilized by his ministrations. Kindly and urbane by nature, his unaffected sincerity built for him o secure place in the affections of students and colleagues. hHe v os loyal to his high ideals in every depart- ment of his service. Hie served faithfully, uncomplainingly in some of the most difficult years of the life of the College. His services, his personality, his character have branded themselves on the memory of oil who love McKendree Col- lege. DR. JAMES CLAY DOLLEY
