5Dedication.J HE CLASS of l934- honors itself in dedicating its yearbook to PROFESSOR QUIMBY. Upon him, since its his appointment to the Bates faculty, has rested the ty dillicult task ol' upholding the debating standard FI? ' IT tmgglj ,Paz gags of' a college whose forensic prestige had already given her- a preerninence rarely, if ever, enjoyed by any other institution. Such prestige is transitory and such preemi- nence ephemeral. Professor Quimby would have deserved our gratitude if he had only maintained the standard already achieved. He did that and more. By dint of patience, thoroughness, a deep understanding of student problems, and a conscious attempt to make what he taught help to solve those problems, he so well equipped successive groups of Bates debaters to think and talk f or themselves that they have represented her creditably in every English speaking country on the globe. But we would not fall into the common and vicious error ol' evaluating a coaclfs merit hy the number of victories his learns have won. The national and international recognition that Professor Quimby has received is by no means a truer measure of his worth than is the personal esteem in which he is held by those with whom he has worked. The affection they feel for him is of a deep and undefinable nature, an affection such as students can feel only for those instructors who bring out the best that is in them. Not only do we dedicate our annual to him. We dedicate ourselves, insofar as We are severally able, to the indefati- gable life ol' deeds, the over-flowing good nature, the hatred of underhandedness, and the warm, democratic friendship that will remain our permanent memory of him, - and that makes us glad his path crossed ours.
