IN APPRECIATION !u jty • LV Ar z c 0 3 University is many things, but most of all it is a group of individuals in a dedicated search after knowledge and understanding. A significant part of this search extends beyond the academic spheres into the area of deep and rewarding per¬ sonal relationships. The truly educated are those who have succeeded in combining their love of knowledge with their love of mankind. The re¬ spected educator is the one whose interests extend beyond the classroom, in the purely physical sense, to the students’ who are its most vital ele¬ ment. Such an educator is Dr. Arthur Whiting Leighton, a devoted teacher, a loyal friend. Dr. Leighton’s contribution to the Tufts Com¬ munity for the past forty-five years has been in¬ valuable. The students have sensed a real loss in his retirement. Always respectful of the student, generous and sincere with that often vital bit of encouragement, a source of pride to the College of Engineering; Dr. Leighton will be missed. But in some small way retirement is not an end but a beginning. As Professor Emeritus, Dr. Leighton has had and will continue to have the satisfaction of looking at what he so ably helped to create. Such a man has given too much to be able to retire. Dr. Leighton will always remain a dynamic part of that spirit and of that communi ty which is Tufts. 2

DEDICATION The Class of 1964 salutes James Vance Elliott, Associate Professor of Government, to whom this year’s Jumbo Book is dedicated with expressions of student appreciation and esteem. Dr. Elliott received his B.S. degree from Bos¬ ton University just in time to become a foot-slog¬ ging infantry officer assigned to active duty in the Allied campaign, “Operation Overload,” in Northwest Europe. After recovery from grave battle wounds received in the Rhineland, he re¬ turned to Boston University for his M.A. with the intention of entering the field of journalism. Later on he continued his graduate studies of govern¬ ment at Harvard from which he received an M.A. and his Ph.D. It was while laboring on his doctoral disserta¬ tion that he was prevailed upon by the Chairman of the Government Department and Dean of Ad¬ ministration, George S. Miller (known to us by his elevated title, “Mr. Tufts”) to come to The Hill to help meet the flood tide of enrollment in Government; only a little while before had the Government Department inaugurated a major program in political science. Dr. Elliott devised and launched a sizeable number of offerings in Government and thereby won his spurs as a most conscientious and effective young instructor ca¬ pable of handling with distinction a variety of courses which the evolving curriculum demanded. At the same time he concentrated on the develop¬ ment of courses in the field of political thought, and the measure of his success can be assessed in terms of the hundreds of students who have elected to join with him in engaging in this highest level of political disputation. Dr. Elliott served as Acting Chairman of his Department in 1956- 1957. m hi f it r fZdr -1 f II In the twelve short years since Professor Elliott came to Tufts he has won an inordinate amount of respect from the phenomenal number of stu¬ dents he has taught, advised, and directed in indi¬ vidual studies. They have been - profoundly im¬ pressed by his grasp of the discipline he teaches, by his devotion to intellectual development of his students and his sympathetic understanding of their problems and outlook, and by his dedication to the University and intense desire to contribute his best to its time-honored and never-ending mis¬ sion—the civilizing of the oncoming generation. 3
