Dr. Agnes Gertrude Nash With ihefn the seeds of wisdom did 1 sow And with my own hands wrought to make it grow! — Fitzgerald Truly Dr. Nash has given us a rich heritage of knowledge and appreciation of good things. She has instilled in her pupils a love of learning; she has guided us through the mechanics of Freshman com- position and has made literature a joy forever. Perhaps one ot her outstanding successes — year after year — has been the Lampas. Dr. Nash has aided many staffs in producing a 1 ampas that has been noteworthy for perfection of detail; consequently Lampas and Dr. Nash have become almost synonymous. We, the first staff to work without her guidance, have earnestly tried to produce a Lampas of which she will approve.

A ApptcciatioH ITIR. BITZER mR, iOSBURGH At Teachers College we have learned not only how to acquire knowledge, but also how to impart th is knowledge to children. When we find ourselves alone in a class- room, knowing that, to the class, we represent the fountain of all knowledge, it will he comforting to remember that we have been fully equipped by sympathetic, wise, and experienced teachers. We regret that four of our teachers, — Dr. Nash, Dr. Regan, Mr. Bitzer, and Mr. Vosburgh were not with us during our senior year. Under their guidance we were introduced to the beauties of literature, to the techniques ot reading and writing, to the intricacies of mathematics, and to the conflicts of economics. The Class of 1948 grieves for the incoming students, who will not be privi- leged to study with these able teachers. Dr. Regan ' s efficiency and good nature, Mr. Bitzer ' s gentleness and courtesy, Mr. Vosburgh ' s integrity and ready wit, and Dr. Nash ' s inexhaustible fund of information will be missed at Teachers College. We graduates share with them, however, the excitement ot a new adventure. We congratulate Dr. Regan on her assignment as Head Master of the Boston Clerical School, and we hope that Dr. Nash, Mr. Bitzer, and Mr. Vosburgh will enjoy many years of leisure.

Dr. William Henry Joseph Kennedy To me one of the most delightful features of Commencement Week is the ceremony at which t t Lampas is distributed. It gives me a real thrill to watch the anticipation as each of you receives her copy and to hear the squeals — yes, squeals of delight as you turn its pages. Most of you. I note, turn first to your own picture, then there is a rapid turning of pages as you get a bird ' s eye view of the whole. It is really a delightful occasion. As the years go on there will be many occasions when you will turn again with pleasure to this Lampas and through it relive the happy days in college. May all of your days be as happy as the one on which you first received your Lampasl May God bless you wherever you may go!
