HEDIEATIU We, the Stall: of the 1941 OLDE CENTRE, respectfully dedicate this annual to Dr. Charles Leese in hearty recognition of his interest and stead- fast efforts towards the advancement of student life at Centre College. Although the routine of teaching, his service on several important faculty committees, and his attention to extra curricular activities place a heavy demand upon his time, Dr. Leese is always glad to counsel with students. This friendly and dynamic Pennsylvania Dutchman has been with us only a few years but during this time he has been the author of several publications, the latest being a genealogy of the Leese Family of Pennsyl- vania and Maryland. , During the summer of 1940 he represented Centre College with a fellow- ship at the General Educational Workshop at the University of Chicago. Qn the personal side of life, Dr. Leese has several hobbies but finds his greatest pleasure as an ardent follower of Isaac Walton. This desire is gratified on the lakes of the Adirondack Mountains where he takes his .w . -VIII' an , u family 'for the summer vacation and gathers the sum and substance of his yarns for the following winter. , Professor Leese, head of the Department of Economics and Sociology, received his A.B. Degree at Gettysburg College, his M.A. at the Wharton School of Finance and Commerce, and his Ph.D. at the University of Pennsylvania. We dedicate the 1941 OLDE CENTRE to Dr. Leese with the feeling that he richly deserves the honor. We commend him for his good works in the past and wish him many years of happiness and success in the future. 19111 ULDE CENTRE
