IN MEMORIAM JOHN BALLENTINE, Ph. D. The Rev. Dr. Juliii Ballentine, i(lel - known gentleman, scholar and educator, has passed but t he effects of his genial, sincere, wholehearted deeds shall ever be remembered. For forty-three years he made unstinted contributions to the Clarion . ' tate Normal School in the fields of Latin and Greek. His con- tributions were not merely academic; they were of inspirational, spiritual, moral, character-moulding nature. His scores of warm friends w ' ere made not by deliberate effort but as a result of his attractive personality and lovable nature. The good Dr. Ballen- tine has done in this world has not been interred with him. It lives vibrantly. Clarion State Teachers College cherishes the memory of an eminent scholar and educator. Friends recall his upright convictions, his tact, his generous spirit, his fine sensibil- ities, and his encompassing love for his fellow men. JAMES PINKS Clarion State Teachers College deeply regrets the passing of James Pinks who was associated for thirty-four ears as bursar with the Clarion State Normal School.

Pinks was associated w ith the school, lixcellent management characterized his long-time period of service. Mine
