To be respected as a professor and at the same time regarded as a friend bv e ' er ' member of the student b(jd -, faculty, and alumni is a distinction which few win. el this is the place which Jean Corrodi Moos has held through t ent -fi e years of Bethan - ' s histor ' . Since he came to our college as Director of the Department of .Music in 1807. Professor .Moos has given his best efforts and the benefits of a keenl ' trained and alert mind to old Bethanw Bethan ' . like most great institutions, has had her dark da s of dis- couragement and difficulty ' as well as the sunshiny da ' s of success and achie ement. But through rain or shine she has alwa ' s been able to count among her resources the steadfast and Lmllinching lo ' alty of Professor Moos. We seldom hear him talk about what he is going to do, but under his direction plans seem to unfold themselves and suc- cess is assured. His service to Bethan ' is characterized b ' unpreten- tiousness, reserve, and dignity. There is another way in which Professor Moos has endeared him- self to all — his exceptionally pleasing sense of humor. Our college memories are enriched by recollections of his short talks and announce- ments. It matters not whether they be about Athletics. Glee Club, or some Academic subject; and it matters not in what mood his audi- ence may be. the response is bound to be happw Radium we are told is the only thing more rare than genius. Bethany, then, is most fortunate in her possession of such a man as Professor Moos. Pie is so intimately a part of our college atmosphere that we can never fulh ' express our appreciation of him.
