Facult HE faculty are a part of our community, as we are a part of theirs. We are the excuse for their being able to form a community. They are the excuse for spending four years of our life as vve have. Sometimes they are only an excuse. Sometimes they are the real reason that we have come to Amherst. ln Whatever light we consider them, the opportunity for making them a main justification of an Amherst ex- istence vvas presented, and acceptance or re- jection of that opportunity rested with us alone. ln almost everything that We have done the faculty have taken some part. The intellectual pursuits in which We have engaged have, in general, been in accordance with their idea of what was Worthwhile, and we have unavoid- ably been led to many conclusions with Which they sympathize. Their influence on us will last in varying degrees for a long time. Our ath- letics in which vve represented the College have been under their guidance. We have seen these men enthusiastic. We have been present when they expressed strong dislike. And often we have seen eye to eye on the same matters. Each of us have come to knovv a number of the faculty as individuals. We have come to respect them for the work they do and the opinions they hold. We have met them and Worked with them on a personal basis. We have found that We value their friendship and respect. -15..
