DEDICATION The class of 1962 is proud to dedicate this year’s Jumbo Book to one of the most devoted and energetic professors at Tufts—Dr. Lewis Frederick Manly. During his thirty-five year career on the Hill (he became an Instructor in the Economics De¬ partment in 1927, after receiving his Master’s Degree here), Dr. Manly has proven himself an interested and sympathetic member of the Tufts Community in many fields. In 1942 Dr. Manly became the Chairman of the Economics Department, a posi¬ tion he has held ever since, and soon after began a long association with many off- campus groups of importance to the national economy. Included among these groups are the Regional Dispute Panels of the War Labor Board and the Wage Stabilization Panel which he headed from 1943-1945 and 1944-1945 respectively. Still another, less widely known side of Dr. Manly’s life here at Tufts is his great interest and participation in athletics. A three-letter man at Wooster College in Ohio, where he did his undergraduate work, Dr. Manly served as backfield coach for the 1925 Jumbos, and later became head coach, putting together Tuft’s last undefeated team in 1934. One of the talented youngsters he coached has gone on to become rather well known around Medford—Harry Arlanson. And yet these accomplishments—full and varied as they are—by no means sum up the entire man. Integrity, fairness, and a sincere consideration of the individuals he works with, both in and out of the classroom, though less tangible than his other qualities, round out a personality which students can not only respect, but admire and strive to emulate. 15
