Dedication The staff of the 1962 Bomb takes great pleasure in dedicating this yearbook to Colonel Alexander Henderson Morrison, not only because for the past six years as faculty advisor to the Bomb he has be en instrumental in the production of this publication, not only because of his vital contributions to the V3I.I. Pubhcations Board during this time, but largely because in every way he has more than met the highest expectations of any member of the faculty. He has been friend, advisor, and teacher to countless cadets; and, moreover, he has fulfilled these roles in a singular and outstanding manner. We of the Bomb staff are in a particularly good position to appreciate Colonel Morrison ' s great ability, and his great dedication to V.M.I, and to the education of her sons. Hardly less, however, would be said by the many other past and present cadets who have known, respected, and been inspired by this man through his work on the Publications Board, through his assistance as their faculty advisor, or through his instruction as their professor in one or several economics courses. Colonel Morrison ' s role in many areas of V.M.I, life has been impressive and of enduring significance. .V distinguished graduate in Liberal Arts of the Class of 1939, Colonel Morrison returned to .M.I. in 1949 as an instructor in the History Department. During the past 13 years, he has emerged as a prominent and most competent member of the faculty. The confidence and respect which he is accorded by all persons of the V.M.I, community are reflected by the fact that this year the courses in economics have been developed into the separate Department of Economics, of which Colonel Morrison is the head. Mere instruction and administration of an academic program, however, are not enough to constitute an education, for a proper education depends upon inspiration and stimulation to do independent, original thought and work. It is because Colonel Morrison has provided this inspir- ation, has stimulated this creative thought, and has encouraged his students to learn more than the course recjuirements, that he is a most valuable asset to the academic life of V. I.I. In addition to his great service as a professor of economics. Colonel lorrison has proved the dedicated friend and servant of cadets and cadet activities, most notably the Bomb and the Publi- cations Board, to both of which he has contributed signally. For all these reasons, but largely because he has been our friend, we of the 196 ' 2 Bomb staff are both proud and pleased to dedicate this yearbook to Colonel Alexander Henderson Morrison.
