University of Berlin German He led them well.” DURING the past twenty years, Mr. Alder’s many varied services to Blake have been of inestimable value to students, faculty, and Alumni alike. Long cherished will be the memories of his enthusiasm and devotion to the ideal which is Blake. It is through his leadership that Blake has become one of the top preparatory schools of the nation equal in scholastic standing to the best of the Eastern secondary schools. The establishment of a senior room to facilitate a more gradual transition between the restraint of high school life and the freedom of college careers, is only one of the many improvements which have been made bv Mr. Alder’s far-seeing vision. All phases of Blake school life from scholastic work to athletics and extracurricular activities, have received the continued support of the retiring headmaster. Also it has been through his zeal for the improvement of Blake that plans have been made and funds obtained for additions to the school which are soon to be made. Mr. Alder's spirit of loyalty, enthusiasm, and friendship for Blake will not easily be forgotten by the students, faculty, and the friends of the school. Indeed it may be said that he has passed the Torch to those who follow with an undimmed light. 13
