Though many yearbook staffs consider a dedication in the introduction of the book as deadweight, the 1969 Grist proudly dedi- cates this yearbook to Dr. John F. Quinn, re- tiring Vice-President of Student Affairs. The University Manual states, “The Vice- President for Student Affairs will be re- sponsible for the direction of all student personnel activities of a non-academic na- ture. He will coordinate the activities of the following officers: the Director of Athletics ... the Medical Director ... the Coordinator of Advisement and Counseling . . . the Dean of Students . . . the Director of Student Ac- tivities and the Memorial Union . . . the Di- rector of Housing . . . the Director of Student Aid . . . the International Student Advisor . . . the University Chaplains . . .” Through these services Dr. Quinn has earned the respect of all who know him. This dedication is our way of expressing gratitude and appreciation to Dr. Quinn for the time and talents he has rendered to us here at the University of Rhode Island. 18
