Eehitatiun ra tify my T is the custom of the OLIO Board to select every year from among the alumni, faculty or trustees that man K to whom, in our opinion, it is Il1OSt fitting that the record of a year of college life should belong. The past year has brought no great honors to any individ- ual connected with the college, nor has any alumnus been con- spicuous for more than the usual devoted loyalty of Amherst alumni. The year has been one of steady, united progress toward the mastery. We feel, therefore, that it is our peculiar privilege and pleasure to be able to dedicate this volume to one of the old masters of his profession in Amherst College, who, last June, completed his fif- tieth year of able service to his Alma Mater, Professor Edward Payson Crowell. To our alumni Professor Crowell needs no introduction. His remarkable scholarship, his ability as a teacher and his great inter- est in the alumni have made him one of the best known of Amherst professors. Cutside of College he is Widely recognized as an eminent scholar and editor of classical literature. In the Massa- chusetts Legislature his name is enrolled as representative from his district for 1879. But his greatest service to Amherst, outside of his duties as a teacher, has been his work in compiling and pre- serving the records of the older alumni. By his untiring efforts along this line, which only his wide acquaintance among the grad- uates made possible, he has collected data of permanent interest and value to the College. For many years it has been his task to edit the annual obituary record of the alumni. The results of some of his labors in this direction have been published under the titles A Biographical Record of Alumni of Amherst College during its First Half Century and A Roll of Graduates and Non-graduates of Amherst College in the United States Army or Navy in the Civil W3I',,, of which he was Associate Editor.
