To one who has enrolled in our school, drifted down its corridors, paced its walks and climbed its steps, lifted his voice to speak in its classrooms, who has not left some trace of his shadow in those corridors, some print of his step on those walks, some echo of sound in those classrooms. More than that, no student, no matter how shy in demeanor, could ever dip into the swirl of College life without leaving his inevitable im- print on the plastic personalities of those fellows he touched. None of us has ever died, none of us can know the true nature of death, for us death must ever mean loss — the loss of someone whose life we had to some small degree shared. Such a loss is, of course, irre- pairable. Suddenly we are left with a bare image, permanent it is true, but only an image. But those of us who ever shared a problem or a triumph with a friend now dead will preserve forever an image both vibrant and intense — an image which from time to time will surge back into our conscious- ness. Those who were snatched suddenly from our midst will remain more vividly in our brain by reason of the very poignancy of their loss. Memory will never be compensation for bone, blood, body and soul. Memory is a thin stain never to be erased; it is no comfort, just an effort to recapture the lost. MEMORIAM Martin V alsh Norman Zieroth
