foreword . . . 1951-the year that we remove the ten-inch record from the turn-table of events and replace it with one of twelve inches, the year of the commencment of a new life for one hundred and twenty-five young gentlemen and ladies who have conducted the music for this album of memories. Yes, they have led songs both joyous and sad, with their work and with their laughter. Many broken disks-but many more unbreakable ones. Now they are beginning to play the Forward March, to record it on long-playing records, to become great, successful conductors of the symphony which is life, and to become an integral part of that great worldy chorus which they now join. May their few years of grand conducting, recorded on these following pages, serve as a firm basis for their future work. Led on by their integrity of purpose and effort, they have done a com- mendable job here, even though there was at times an occasional discord. May they march on into the world with the power and the determination which can result only in high achievement, and May God bless them, every one. kenneth f. lee . . millard f. long . carol j. popky . . . ivan a.

To know Dr. Fleck has been a rare and never-to-be-forgotten privilege for many of us. He has been an integral part of Seminary life for forty years, and as Professor, Dean, and finally President has been revered by those whom he has aided. Be- ginning his teaching at Wyoming Seminary in 1911, Dr. Fleck was soon recognized as an educator with an extreme depth of understanding. Six years later, he became the Dean of the Seminary, the first man to bear this title in the history of the school. Upon the death of Dr. Sprague in 1936, he was elected President. He led the Seminary through a great war and two destructive Hoods. He raised the funds for a huge building program, and is responsible for Wyoming Seminary as we know it today. Dr. Fleck has symbolized the true, the beautiful, and the good. dr. ralph decker All glory, land, and lmuor . . . In the time Dr. Decker has been at Wyo- ming Seminary, he has established himself as a friend to all. Many changes have already taken place under his adminislration. The swimming pool and the heating system have been completely ren.ovated, and plans are under way for extensive repairs to Pettebone Gymnasium. A large-scale intra-mural athle- tic program has also been successfully func- tioning, and several new organizations in the life of the school have been formed. Of more importance, however, than these mate- rial changes is the inspiration he has given us. His excellent chapel services are thought- provoking and challenging, for his words contain the wisdom of experience. Dr. Decker is a native of Dunmore and a graduate of Wyoiiiing Seminary. He received his degree of Bachelor of Arts from Wesleyan, and his M.A. and S.T.B. from Boston Uni- versity, as well as his Ph.D. Before coming to Wyoriiing Seminary, Dr. Decker served as a professor of religion at Boston University.
