Eehiratiuu the distinguished Professor who, by his untiring devo- tion, energy, and genius has made Bates what it is in de- bating, we dedicate the 1925 MIRROR. More than any other Professor, he has become internationally famous in his field, and his achievements are an inspiration to all followers of forensics, everywhere. The loyalty which he has inspired in his students is equaled only by the loyalty which he himself shows to everything in which students are interested. He has achieved because he has given unsparingly of himself. The work he has done at Bates is a heritage which succeeding generations must preserve.
