DKAN IM. F. STUBBS, Ph. D. One could hardly say a finer thing of a man than this: He is a true friend. For real friends are rare and friendship with one of these is a priceless thing. Such a friend we have found in our teacher, adviser, and dean. One who is willing to help to straighten out troubles, listen to di ITiculties, having always the understanding heart. — A true comrade. It is to him, with love and appreciation of his genuine interest and friendship, we dedicate this edition of the Nocatula. v - , ' THE SENIORS

OLD COLLEGE HALL The oldest building on Wesleyan ' s campus was erected in 1864, when most of oar grandparents were very young. What tales it would tell could it but speak, this old college hall which has served young men and women for sixty-eight years. Within its walls there have been millions of problem solved in mathmatics. It has heard many d;scussions of matters religious and secular. In the literary society halls on third floor young collegians have read, discussed, orated and debated on many, many occasions, and on as many subjects. On the second floor students have spent many a weary hour typing, the click of the keys accompanied by the nerve racking tunes ground out of victrola records. Perhaps the most memorable feature of the Old College Hall is the bell on the roof of the porch. Countless are the times the brazen tongue of the old bell has persuaded stu- dents to go to classes; and how glad they have always been when it rang at the end of the school day. Perhaps it is old-fashioned, but we like it just the same. Say the Wesley- anites, Long may it ring. No one who has ever been to Wesleyan can forget the Old College Hall with its ivy covered wall, its worn tteps, its initial carved desks, and its big iron bell. CS . 3-?,- SS ct f

TO THE FACULTY When men make a success in life there is always a reason — several reasons. Everyone immediately thinks of the successful man, courage, grit, determination, these things have made him what he is. But there is always a force behind such a person, — a force that, however unconsciously, was the beginning of the inspiration toward a bigger life. Few people recognize it; often the man himself does not. But somewhere back there in his beginning someone has given him a tiny thought that led to a bigger idea, a bit of courage when it was most needed, a subtle suggestion that may have led to a powerful plan, — these things and others that wielded an influence in shaping the path of a life. We little understand it now, but in after years when we are each filling our niche in some corner of life, thi.= is precisely the sort of thing we will be thanking our faculty for. Tracing it back through the years we will find that here on this campus, we found the in- centive toward success. We cannot realize now the loss we will sustain in losing daily contact with these men and women. Neither can we tell them in our small way how much we appreciate them. But we take this opportunity of expressing a very real and deep gratitude for the unfailing sympathy, interest, and friendship that have made college a little happier place than it otherwise would have been.
