IN MEMORIAM. To the memory of Harland A. Ladd. 25. an able administrator, an outstandino pioneer in Maine education, and a constant advocate of fair play and good sportsmanship, we w ish to dedicate this olume. Ladd, a native of Sebec, served as State Commissioner of Educa- tion for seven years. Previously, he was superintendent of schools in Bath and in Milo, and earlier than that principal in Brownville Junc- tion, Milo. and Stetson. Convinced there was more to education than that of the mind, Ladd emphasized development of the body and was .an outstanding defender of competitive athletics during his all too brief career. Ex-Governor Frederick Payne paid him the following tribute: The youth of Maine have lost a devoted and sincere friend. No person ever dedicated his life to preparing the education of youth of this state more than Harland Ladd. I ha e personally lost a true friend and onderful associate who preserved every good qualification to which man can aspire. ' ' As a man and as an educator, he vas loved and admired by all — and we are honored to dedicate this book to his memorv. l psffima iassaEarMSxr iXEJMSEas mJEj?

We pause a moment here to pay special tribute to the gone but not forgotten memory of those who were with us when wc began this college career — those who smiled so eagerly w ith us during Freshman Week — those who joined in our spirited cheers at rallies and games — • those who frolicked so boisterously through Hell Week — • those who socialized so enthusiastically throughout the term — all those who met, worked, goofed, lived, and loved until they were called away to serve for another cause. Many of these ha c already come back, many will be home in the near future, and many w ill nc er return. Nevertheless, we who are still waiting salute you. w ish you well, and say we are proud to honor you here. tmmmmmmmmm
