Deduction Professor W. P. Wilgar died September 6, 1950. To him this year book is dedicated by those whose minds he touched and caused to grow. We will remember him as a spare, tall figure in a tweed jacket, prowl- ing restlessly across the front of the room, addressing the class in fluid, meti- culous speech: I do not expect you to write good English, but I do demand at least Basic English. His insistence upon the basic was characteristic; his was a vital mind. He had known Queen ' s and Cambridge, Texas, Mount Allison, and Manitoba, but only at Carleton he watched the children playing among the poets, as he once remarked of some of his senior students, with all the detached amusement of an indulgent parent. Sensitive, aloof, and intense, he found at Carleton a fulfillment which made him a Dart of it, and involved him in the lives of its students. To the students he gave much, for he was a teacher in the great sense of the word, a professor not only of literature, but of life, an educator to whom education meant not only knowledge, but growth. When growth demanded severity, he was severe; but many faltering minds he nourished, and many lethargic his wit stung to activity. His kindness, however, was never obvious, and his concern too little known. Such is the man we knew for little over a year, and yet who is already almost a legend; such the mind which gave so much. This record of graduation, then, we, the emergent and alive, dedicate to the teacher, now dead, who quickened so many of our minds to thought. — 7 —
