Gentlemen, ' ' he is! f ' ii, Ever since Ferd had the moral courage to announce his intentions of K- A fl going into the ministry we have admired him. It is a brave thing to do on a Y, campus where to pose as an agnostic or an unbeliever is to conform. Ferd K' 'ly has never allowed the verbal battles of the puerile and conceited intellectuals lit fx who surrounded him in our four years here to turn him for a moment from i, U4 a cause which certainly needs men of his stabilityg men who question but ilfx V ' keep their thoughts to themselves. fi VVe think of the words of another prophet who said, 'KA man must do gt ' fi very much for himself in order to do anything at all for others , and we T74 lp find them somehow applicable to Feral , He never bothered trying to con- , lit vince any one of his views and he went a long way toward trying to under- ll?

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

His unflagging sympathy for, and never X waning interest in ancient vestiges has quite limited any tendencies toward ii lit neo-modernism. Due to his individualistic nature he has preferred self- . imposed privacy which accounts for his absence at Clark social functions, 3 his aim being the acquisition of an A. B. on intellectual rather than on social hi or extra-curricular premises. Xxx 5 During his initial years here Raymond distinguished himself by winning it the attention of gymnasts from far and near for his quite unusual physical Xp achievement which has been suddenly terminated. Since his sudden interrup- id it tion in this field of endeavor his increasing tendency to a ponderous presence 5' l leads us to believe that nothing save worry about the attainment of the said Q Q degree will ever bring him back to his pristine and more becoming lines. . 2 It is in the more meditative and quiet musings that Raymond chiefly ir. N dwells, but when he rarely does break forth into audible performance his ll Hx 'work is of highest tenure as is evidenced by the valuable contribution he 5 offers to the Glee Club in his voice. li, il, It is lamentable to realize how few are the privileged who, through con- l tinued contact, derive beneficial influences from this extremely interesting but hx, 5 quietly unassuming individual. li XX lxx l it 4 X4 wi fi M, ii 'if -'37 Q2 if--13 Q-JK' Q-fgfiffg iff. .If l 67 l
