Dedication Benjamin Aberdeen Gessner Benjamin Aberdeen Gessner received his A.B. degree from Baker Univer- sity in 1923. He received his Ph. D. from Boston University in 1930. Return- ing to Baker in that same year, Dr. Gessner joined the faculty as Professor of Philosophy and Psychology. He became Dean of the College in 1940. Dean Gessner has brought exemplary honor and distinction to his alma mater since he entered Baker as a sophomore forty-nine years ago. He has been active on the state level in educational leadership, has served as a consultant and examiner for the State Board of Education, and has represented Baker University on a number of national committees. During the school year 1968-69, he served as President of the Kansas Advisory Council on Educa- tion. Dean Gessner is retiring this year as Dean of the College, after many years of loyalty and devoted service to his alma mater. In honor and recognition for all he has done, and for all that he stands for, we dedicate the 1969 Wildcat to Dr. Benjamin Aberdeen Gessner. Students, faculty, trustees, alumni, and administrators think of Dean Gessner as Mr. Bakerf' As a distinguished churchman, educator, administrator and dean, he has set a mark. He is truly a living example of Wildcat. And so, in keep- ing with the spirit of thisyearbook, we widen the horizons of the 1969 Wild- catto f BENJAMIN ABERDEEN GESSNER. 3
