' Dedicated to When it came time for the Class to decide to whom this Book should be Dedicated, no problem arose. One Name was thought of above all others. The Name was that of a philan- thropist, a Man who must surely love his Fellow Men. Choosing Edwin B. Elson to receive this Honor was an ex- cellent choice. The selection of his Name was the only way, and the best way, to show Our heartfelt appreciation for the wonderful service he rendered the Student Body of this great College. There is an old phrase used by economists. Psychic In- come is the phrase, and Psychic Income is what Edwin B. Elson gave. For his donation of Elson Hall Dormitory adds greatly to the living comfort of the Student Body. This New and Modern structure will always be remembered by those of us who first lived there as a place of Comfort and Convenience. And so again, we can only say Thank You.

JAMES WORK President of N. A. C. Jh Appreciation TTie National Agricultural College is the natural outgrowth of its parent institution, the National Farm School. And the School was created by Rabbi Joseph Krauskopf. Joseph Krauskopf. the son of a lumber dealer, was born in Germany in 1858, on the twenty-first of January. He came to this country at the age of fourteen, and settled in Massachusetts. He soon developed the desire to be a Rabbi, and after receiving his B. A. from the University of Cincinnati in 1883, he became a stu- dent in the first graduating class of the Hebrew Union College. During his lifetime Dr. Krauskopf was a pioneer and worker in many religious and civic movements. The school was said to be in part both of these. Dr. Krauskopf, through his personality, oratory, and travels, gained many friends and supporters for the school. This remained, during his life, his most important single contribution to the growth and welfare of the school.
