12 In some way memory is a grapevine though, and the reflection blues sometimes get very blue. All the thoughts that were pleasant sometime give way to the minor tragedies that make up this life. Willie was one of these. He died as he lived. Tt was Thanksgiving Day. Two minutes to go in the Colgate game. Colgate on the one yard line. On the parapet of section G a ficure could be seen waying an assortment of pennants. Suddenly he disappeared. Like the ripple spreading outward from the plop a stone has made in a quiet pool, the stands rose to their feet. The game stopped. Enter the ambulance and stretcher, exit Willie. The game went on as belore, for no one knew until the next day that photo by Prov. Journal Willie had died. It was the last game of the season. It was Willie's last game too, and he sel- dom missed one. We can still picture him in a W. C. Field'slike comedy with the Pinkerton men who weren't fooling at all. They tried to evict him from the game, but we wouldn't let them. He was that well liked and a tradition almost. Was the year really like this? I wonder. As you think back over it certain impressions stand out. They move in and out of focus and depend en- tirely upon your mood. No two people receive the same impressions, but all are bound to be touched by certain aspects of life that leave their imprint on the memory.

14 President Henry Merritt Wriston For it is in crying out against this danger the ever present danger of succumbing to the illiberal and the spiritless in human life that Henry Whriston, as a leader in education for more than thirty years, has shown himself to be in the direct line of the Prophets. It has been his mission again and again to point out that though by restricting the range of our interest we can diive rapidly toward a limited ooal, too little is gained when this is done by beating down the finer reaches of the human spirit. For he has known and has helped us all to see that where concentration on a narrow worldy objective takes over, color and enhancement and finally, meaning depart from life to leave greyness, repelitiveness, and ordinariness to rule there unopposed. Dr. Nathan M. Pusey, President of Harvard University
