DEDICATION Professor Frederick N. Weaver is retiring this year after twenty-two years as chairman of the Department of Civil Engineering. A graduate of Tufts in 1913 with a B.S. in engineering, Professor Weaver has always been closely associated with his Alma Mater. During World War 1, he saw action with the 101st Engineers in the 26th Yankee Division of the American Exped itionary Forces, and was wounded at Chateau-Thierry. He is co-author of the history of his famous company. Professor Weaver returned to Tufts in 1919 as an in¬ structor. His interests have always extended beyond the en¬ gineering classroom. He is former President of the Tufts Chapter of the American Association of University Pro¬ fessors. He is also chairman of the Committee on Academic Awards. Professor Weaver has designed numerous bridges and is author of a textbook. Applied Mechanics. He is past president of the Boston Society of Civil Engineers, the old¬ est civil engineering society in the United States. He is a member of Tau Beta Pi and Sigma Xi. Professor Weaver has always been interested in the theatre at Tufts. Once a coach of dramatics at Jackson, he has directed productions here, written criticism, and at one time wrote a one-act play which was produced here. Un¬ usual though it is, Professor Weaver’s hobby is conversa¬ tional French. He spends many hours speaking only this language with members of the Department of Romance Lan¬ guages at the Tufts Faculty Club. For forty years Professor Weaver has brightened the Tufts campus. He will be missed but not forgotten. He is a Tuftsman whom we shall always be proud to recall and identify with the Tufts tradition. 5
