Yet amidst all the turmoil and disturbance, there were no signs of hysteria among those who firmly held the guiding reins of the college in their hands, tho often the aggravating situations that arose almost warranted it. The spirit of Amherst never weakened- but proudly withstood and survived all blows and shocks. Obviously the college is greatly indebted to those who worked so faithfully and so well that we might return and find a true Amherst awaiting us in which to continue and further our studies. Yet for all this, we can but in a small measure pay the just tribute that is due our own Prexy , Georgie Olds, Tom Esty, and all those members of the faculty who so ably assisted them in the hourof need for both our country and our college.
