28 Pi; M35953 Q2113 DEAN EMERITUS FREDERICK BOEHM THE COLLEGE TODAY is perhaps best symbolized in the person of Dean Emeritus Frederick Roehm, Whose ideas and ideals have inspired and helped Baldwin-Wallace students for the last quarter century. His quiet, philOSOphical manner has endeared him to thousands of stu- dents with whom he has come in contact. TO them, it has become an axiom that a Baldwin-Wallace education is not complete without at least one Roehm-course. It is therefore, a distinct loss to the College that Dean Roehm at last re- tires this year. It is With humility and gratitude that the editors of the 1946 Grindstone dedicate this Centennial Edition to you, Dean Roehm.
