Kenneth Oliver Mason BORN APRIL 12, 1893-DIED OCTOBER 30, 1930 A.B., Brown 19145 A.M., Brown 1914, A.M., Harvard 19l5g Instructor in English, University of Vermont, 1916- 17, Assistant in English, Brown, 1917-183 Instructor in English, 1918-23g Assistant Professor of English, 1923-293 Associate Professor of English, 1929-30, Dean of Freshmen, 1926-30, Director of Admissions, 1929-30. DEAN MASONIS death takes from the University an unusually capable administrator, a vigorous and influential teacher, a wise counsellor. There can be no member of the Faculty who had business with him, no student who sat in his classes, no delinquent who met his censure, no penitent who sought his pardon, no one who asked his help, but felt the force of his nature: the quickness of his understanding, the sureness of his reasoning, the prompt energy of his judgment, and, above all, the readiness of his sympathy. We can never forget his unique blend of sober-mindedness and humor, his courage, his candor, his kindly shrewdness, his industry, and his devo- tion to his calling. Mindful of him, we say, almost in the words of Arnold's threnody for a beloved friend, Then through the great town's harsh, heart-wearying roar, Let in thy voice a whisper often come, To chase fatigue and fear: Why faintest thou? I laboured till I died, Press on! the light we sought is shining still. Dost thou aslq proof? Our trees yet crown thc hill, Our Scholar travels yet the loved hillside. GEORGE W. BENEDICT.
