L ,, IN MEMCJRIAM '6And gladly wolde he lerne and gladly techef, This can be as truly said of Dr. Christ as it was said by Chaucer to describe his clerk of Oxenford. For gladly and quietly Dr. Christ was ever ready to help his students. It might be some explanation after class, or a conference in the English office, or a ride on a Friday afternoon to the environs of Philadelphia. Kindness to others and unselfishness were attributes which students and faculty members alike saw in Dr. Christ. Dr. Christls living presence has passed from us, but not our memory of his thoughtfulness of others, of his sensitivity to the natural world about him, of his dignified leadership in his profession of teaching, of his great faith in Divine Guidance. Again like the clerk of Oxenford, '6Of studie took he most care and most hedeg Nought a word spake he more than was nedef' With acknowledgment to Mrs. John Tallmadge

DEDICATION It has been said that a teacher affects eternityg he can never tell where his inliuence stops. This is especially true of a teacher who genuinely loves her students as well as her subject, and believes in the potential and inherent qualities of both. For the past twenty-six years Mrs. Tallmadge has been giving girls an enthusiastic glimpse of live Greeks and live Romans on the Cedar Crest campus. ln the Warm, informal atmosphere of her classes, girls have gained a deep understanding of and affinity for the classics. Classes under Mrs. Tallmadge are more than an open textbook and a well-filled notebook. Rather, they live and are vitally important to both students and teacher. Possessed of a profound intellectual curiosity, Mrs. Tallmadge never stops learning. Her sincere interest in archaeology has led her to graduate work at Bryn Mawr College, Lehigh University, and the American School of Classical Studies in Athens. Three trips to Europe are the result of her passion- ate urge to travel. A more domestic pastime is gardening, which occupies this lady's leisure hours. Perhaps, enjoyment of nature springs from devoutnessg not only believing in her religion, but also living it. The fact that a small percentage of Cedar Crest students avail themselves of classical studies does not deter her morale. She has commented, L'What you lose in quantity, you make up in qualityf, Those enrolled in her classes realize that Mrs. Tallmadge is interested in them as persons, as well as students. In her own Words, set down for acceptance to this dedication, Mrs. Tallmadge exemplifies the true spirit of a humanist. '6These ancients, I believe, are as integrated in our living today as flour in a loaf of bread.
