DR. HENDERSON His was the power to touch the opening buds of human life and make them blossom into splendid character. Dr. Martin Perry Henderson was one of the most brilliant, and at the same time one of the most dearly loved men who ever blessed the B. Y. U. His fine scholarship put him on a level with the great scientists of our nation, and his insight into, and his love for human nature, made him a master teacher. From early youth Dr. Henderson displayed that remarkable quality of unfaltering industry which was one of his great characteristics. It actuated his scholastic activities at the B. Y. Academy, the University of Utah, and the University of Wisconsin. Having taken out his Ph. D. in 1914. he came to the Brigham Young University the following year where two years ago he became Dean of the College of Arts and Science. In this capacity Dr. Henderson had ample opportunity to come into direct contact with the students, and those who did come in contact with him. desired to live cleaner, think deeper and strive for higher things. He assisted them witli their problems, and encouraged them to continue their work in education. In fact, he became the great teacher friend of the students, and how well he succeeded in this great art can best be summed up in what is written in their hearts. There lies a firm re- solve to live in thought and deed in harmony with the higher vision which his teachings gave them. One problem which vitally interested Dr. Henderson was the effect of tobacco upon the body. It was his opinion that the lowered efficiency of tobacco use might be shown through scientific experimentation, to be carried to the third and fourth generation. Although he was not permitted to see the problem to its conclusion, the investigation which he began is to be carried on in the institution. We cannot forget Dr. Henderson — that man to whom principle was paramount, in spite of personal interests. In our lives his spirit cannot die. Page Four
