' IN APPRECIATION OF DR. WILLIAM G. OWENS To a great teacher — a man prolific in things of the mind and of the spirit, the embodiment of all the hopes and ideals we envision as Bucknell —we dedicate this book. One of the marvels of the universe is the creation of rare per- sonalities like Dr. Owens. He gave himself away daily— through each semester of the many years, generously and abundandy, to the host of students he taught and served, to his brethren on the faculty, to Bucknell and to Lewisburg, to his church and country. Perhaps no one man has given Bucknell to the outer world as has Dr. Owens. To the thousands of students he met on the campus he imparted the spirit of wisdom tempered with humanity, and they in turn have passed it on. He translated Bucknell into living. This man of high thoughts and deep personal integrity, intense scholarship and simple faith, with his wisdom gathered through four-fifths of a century of vigorous living combined with perennial youth, gave— and gave himself away to all.
