amzizg, am; Yes, humbly and respectfully. we say ttwc won't let you down . . . u'Wne: can't let you down, Dr. Morris 'ch. These words are on the lips, in the minds, and in the hearts of the entire Carthage family. For Dr. 3-I0rris Vt'ee, Carthagcis new pi'csiclcnt. has instilled into cvery Carthage student and faculty member an inspiration that cannot be excelled. Throughout life, it is Seldom, if ever, that people are privileged to meet and to know in- dividuals whusc wry presence is enough to kindle the Cooling cmbcm 0f a confused world into the zill-cngulfing fiamcs of ambition and Llcsirc-aauch a man is Dr. Wee. Coming to Carthage only last September and being away at frctquttnt intervals during the. cnsuing yttar did not hampcr thc Carthan qiniansi enthusiasm for their new prcxy. If anything it only aided in making them realize the Yitfli Iwrsonality he posscsccs. They sought to speak with him personally whenever possible and cagerly listened to his stimulating messages at Various campus: functions. The familiar campus saying that Dr. Wee Could probably talk his way into Heaven. if necessary. was not without basis . . . his words are like a magnet drawing metal . . force. . and his is an in-esistablc Gcnuincness, sincerity. friendlincsa Christi- anity . . . these words are charactcristic of Carthagcrs idol. Yet. words are inadequate to express the feeling,r one has for this man. All that can be said is a humble Thank me for giving Carthage College. its studcnts. faculty members. and ahmmL the opportunity of shar- ing his dream and his: faith. Rhspcctfully. we dedicate the 1950 Crimson Rambler lo the man who represents Carthage College of the future . . . Dr. Morris Vite. Fiwr' .u. ...l; , 1:: dolwm... .-'.W.!T. .

ffmftoaiuaing . . . You may say that this is just another college faculty. But you are wrong! They are differ ent than other college faculties. Here is a short lecture on their many virtues. The college faculty will offer you friendship . . the genuine kind that everybody seeks for, yet few are lucky enough to 8nd. They are an understanding group that does not heed a hx-re o'clock whistle. Their days never end for they will be on hand whenever the need arises. And teaching isnit the only way that they spend their time. They are present at most campus functions. They speak at school affairs and are always willing to chaperone school eventsi They are true companions to many students. They are friendly and like to share the students3 joys, problems, and life. When spring comes around and hshing becomes a favorite sport, many of them will ask to share the day with CRIMSON RAMBLER students. It isn't an unfamiliar sight around the nearby lakes and ponds to see Carthage professors dressed in old hats, high rubber boots, and carrying fishing poles over their shoulders. Yes, they are really human. They have devoted much time and energy to the call of higher education. Their unselhsh desire to help others gain precious knowledge has shown itself in countless ways. As students, and especially as college stu- dents, we are fortunate. We have access to far greater Eeids of study and educational oppor- tunities than a large portion of the young people throughout the world. Many of the Carthage College profs have devoted nearly a quarter of a century of time to our school. Others have just recently become a part of the family. All are helping to widen the scope of the Carthaginianseto develop the potentialities of life on this campus. Wm. C. Krauss Business Manager Martin Shoemaker Dean of Men Pearl E.
