Qlgklili l7fXS'l'lCQ'lU- llllfi 1 l i EDWIN HIGGIN BOTTOM AM Born in Millbury, Masr., December 21, 1904. Millbury High School. Permanent Address, Millbury, Mars.

No discursive presentation of Edwin's collegiate achievements is necessary, for when one has had the good fortune of excelling in athletics one's popu- larity is invariably established. Though Ed appreciated and accepted- perhaps passively and with delightful modesty-whatever adulation was bestowed upon him his evaluation of his prowess was never metamorphosed into a degenerate vaingloriousnessg nor did he ever allow himself to be greatly perturbed if perchance it were lacking. Indeed, athletics were the most prominent phase of his life here at Clark but by no means the most dominant, for Edwin realized, wisely, no doubt, that future success would not depend exclusively upon excellence in physical superiority but rather upon a harmonious blending with this superiority the possession of a good mind. Hence, with this thought he combined admirably and gracefully the physical and intellectual elements of his personality so that when we look upon Ed we see a man whose mind is as firm and capable as his body. The future unrolls before us all and with varying degrees of color and fascination. To some the vocation of a pedagogue is the acme of boredomg but to Ed and to many others who are fortunately impregnated with an altruistic spirit teaching possesses unparalleled charm. Edwin is intrinsically human, fond of what the world calls fun g a perennial twinkling sparkles in his eye, while frequent spontaneous and genuine laughter both attest to the joviality of his nature. Sincere and devoted to an ideal-whether this ideal represents something of inconsequential significance or something momentous, such as friendship. Indeed, it is this adamant faithfulness to everything that makes Edwin attractive to all who know him and which will render him lovable to those who will meet him in the future. It is with pride and total sanction of his fellow-students that we wish Ed the best luck in the world. HP-Iiggyn Ai x' l63l

For all these men, according to their biographies , are curious concoctions of Ariel and H. I.. Mencken, with a dash of Nietzche's blonde beasti' thrown in as a gratuity. On the other hand, it is also customary to tell in Haming words how much so-an-so has done for Clark. Clark is quite aware of its debt and we quite aware of its futility. It is fortunate that Loewenberg's career at Clark has been of such a character that it is not essential to place him in either category. His first year at Clark was sacrificed to the great goddess Stullia. For he was handi- capped with an exuberant good-nature and a love for initials after his name. However, he did not remain a lover of externals for long. His mind was too active, his intelligence too torturous to permit him to remain a mere gentle- man , He commenced to look askance at the naive clickes uttered by college men . He began to see the folly in our craving for continual excitation of our vanity. And finally, after much pain, he became a devotee of truth, interesting himself in the fundamentals of our civilization. But this is not all. Loewenberg is coming back to Clark to do his grad- uate work. He has acquired an attitude of mind which will bring him intel- lectual success. He is unlike most history majors in the placidity of his mind and in his tolerance. Not that he will conceive wonders, but that he will leave the world wiser by having lived in it. No man can do more. I Bert . E651
