MacTavish, Professor Joseph W. Barlow, Professor I-l. Stanley Schwarz, and Professor Rinehart Swenson, educators who have faithfully and honorably served on the faculty of Washington Square College for thirty years. It isn't often that a person remains at the same job for three decades-and in doing so constantly gives his best to further the cause for which he works. The four men we so willingly honor are just such personalities. They came to the University at a time when expansion was just beginning-and was difficult to effect- and departments developed slowly. They watched Washington Square College grow and they grew with it-in character stature and teaching prominence. Each has become outstanding in his respective department, Professor MacTavish as Chairman of the Chemistry Department, Professor Barlow as Chairman of the Spanish Department, Professor Swenson as Chairman of the Government Department, and Professor Schwarz as one of the foremost authorities in the Romance Languages. The year 1949 marks the thirtieth anniversary at the college for the personages honored and the graduating Senior Class is proud to acknowledge a job well done. Our most fervent hope is that these men continue to work and teach and direct at Wash- ington Square College for many, many more years to come.
