cjZJ e die citlo n o every man there is one person to wlKim he looks as an ideal; a person who possesses many quaUties to be desired in one ' s self. As a tribute to an officer of such caliber, we of the class of 1956 dedicate this humble olume. A mere choice selec- tion of words, no matter how elegant or elaborate, cannot encom- pass our admiration, our thanks, our very special affinity to him. We, as does he, leave the Academy this summer of 1936. but in each is a nurtured hope that a little of him goes with us to our duty stations. In him we have found unique qualities of leader- ship, devotion to duty, and all that a class adviser should and could be. He required of us the work, conduct, and ideas of a man. and in turn he treated us as men. His guidance has paved the w ay on our tour through Academy life and by example he has fashioned a goal, breathing purpose into a service career. We thank you for all vou ha e done for us.
