In Memoriam DR. THOMAS H. RAWLES 1897—1962 Born in Bloomington, Indiana, on 12 December 1897, Thomas Howard Rawles died of a heart attack in Colorado Springs on 1 November 1962. His academic degrees included a B.A. (1919) and an M.A. (19 25) from Indiana University and a Ph.D. (1927) from Yale. Following the acquistion of his doctorate, he taught mathematics at Yale for the next eight years, coming to The Colorado College in 1935 as Dean of Freshmen and Director of Admissions. His Colorado College as- sociations were interrupted in 1942 by a two year hitch in the army, from which he retired with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. On returning to the college in 1944 he served as acting Dean for a year and then moved to the Treasurer ' s office, where he stayed from 1944 to 1955. On retiring from the treasurership in 1955, Dr. Rawles returned to his first love, mathematics, and taught that subject until his death. In 1936 he married Letitia Wann who was, herse.lf, a student at C.C. It is difficult to exaggerate the influence that Dr. Rawles exerted over the whole life of the college. As unwavering friend, sympathetic teacher, brilliant mathemati- cian, and elder statesman on the campus, his wise counsel was sought from the low- est student to the office of the President. His cheerfulness, his willingness to serve, his devotion to Colorado College, all made a man whose importance to his institu- tional community was beyond estimation. His was a happy life. An excellent skier, avid mountain climber, better than av- erage tennis player, he also taught him- self to become a fine skipper, sailing his own boat. Dr. Rawles was one of Amer- icas ' first falconers, skillfully flying his birds at his Colorado Springs home. His knowledge of cacti was extensive and his sun room contained many rare and beau- tiful plants. Astronomy had claimed his at- tention of late and he applied his usual enthusiasm and skill to his new avocation. It seems fitting that Dr. Rawles ' last after- noon should have been spent at a place he loved — the tennis court. Dr. Robert M. Stabler
