In Dedication .... Professor Clarence P. Houston, after a long history of close association with Tufts, retires this year. Professor Houston, better known on the campus as “Pop”, received a B. S. degree from Tufts in 1914 and an LL.B. degree from Northeastern University in 1923. The First World War brought a brief interruption to his academic pursuits. While serving as a Captain in the Eighteenth Infantry Division, Professor Houston received a Purple Heart and a Silver Star. He returned to the Tufts campus in 1926 as Braker Professor of Commercial Law. Professor Houston’s career as a successful teacher and administrator was given official recognition when, in 1952, he received the honorary degree of L.H.D. from Tufts and when he was appointed to the position of Vice- President for Development at Tufts in 1953. Pop Houston has also been active in athletics. After serving as Tufts Athletic Director for twenty-five years, he left this post to become president of the National Collegiate Athletic Asso¬ ciation from 1954 to 1956. In 1956 he traveled to Australia as a member of the U. S. Olympic Committee. Although Pop Houston is retiring, he will not be forgotten at Tufts. For almost forty years he has actively served his school. And we are sure that for some time longer than that, his name will remain an important part of Tufts tradition. 6
