I O N We co-dedicate this Monticola to Dr. John R. Turner: Because, as a native of the state, he showed true Mountaineer courage in rapidly forging to the top in his chosen field of education; Because, while Professor of Economics at Cornell University he achieved such eminence in that field that he was ap- pointed chief economist and chairman of the advisory board of the United States Tariff Committee in 1923. Because, while President of West Vir- ginia University he was instrumental in inaugurating such improvements as the new University Library building. The University Demonstration High School building, additions to Woman ' s Hall, and in establishing a graduate school. And because, as a distinguished educa- tor, his services to his state and nation have not yet been completed.

D D I C We co-dedicate this Monticola to Senator M. M, Neely: Because he is a native of West Virginia; Because his phenomenal rise in the political world, from mayor of Fair- mont in 1908 to the United States Senate in 1923, marks him as a man of ambition and ability; Because he is a Phi Beta Kappa gradu- ate of West Virginia University; Because, although he graduated from the University in 1902, as a true son of his Alma Mater, he has given gener- ously of his time and energy in her interest even when most busy accom- plishing his rise in governmental cir- cles. And because, as a distinguished sen- ator and statesman, his services to his state and nation have not yet been completed.
