MEMURIAM lilly. Wllilillllplllllllll G'l'0N NURURUSS f I Liver of great men all remind nr, We can make our liner .rnblimej And departing, leave behind as Footprintr on the .randr of time. Never has there lived a grander Dickinsonian-a man who by his keenness of spirit and zest for life inspired the hearts of all those who knew him. To the pomp and ceremony of that last Commencement Day was added his own personal triumph. If it had been possible, he would have chosen no other Way to say farewell to those who loved him. As a friend and guide, he possessed that quality of understanding so rare in human nature. His generosity and ardent desire to help those about him was manifested in countless ways. A brilliant leader in both college and religious activities, his ability was recognized by the many honors which came to him during his lifetime. To have known Rusty Norcross was indeed a never-to-be-forgotten privilege. Page 6

llli. llllllllllll ll. RUGER A familiar figure in a brown topcoat with a pipe held firmly between his teeth, Dr. Rogers strolls along Mooreland on his way to a one-thirty Qualita- tive Lab, there to inhale the fumes of H28 for four hours while he attempts to unravel the chemical Web which entangles so many of his students. When you see that characteristic Walk which is always accompanied by an occasional shrug of the shoulders, you know that you will be greeted with a smile and a cheery Hello, despite the fact that you have displayed a definite lack of knowledge in one of his recent classes. Possessing a keen appreciation of the cultural things of life, he is to be found wherever there is music. As the College athletic manager, he performs his duties with enthusiasm and champions every Dickin- son team whether in victory or in defeat. Because we feel that he typifies the spirit of Dickinson College and because he keeps the best interests of Dickinsonians constantly at heart, we dedicate this 1942 MICROCOSM to Dr. Horace E. Rogers.

IIILPA Lllllllll RT D0 Y Who for their fellows live and a'ie, They the immortals are, Oh xigh N ot for their lou, hat rather praise The God that gave them to oar iiayrf' Dr. Doney-a tribute to the Dickinson traditiong one of the few who could be called a man's man g a scholar and gentleman. His passing was not only a loss to Dickinsonians, but a gap in the bridge of great men. Dr. Doney was a great man, and his life a successful one. As head of the English Department at Dickinson, he will long be remembered for his tact and sympathy in his campus relationships. Not only was this man out- standing in college activities, but also in civic affairs. It was here, in his dealings with his fellowmen, that his true spirit was revealed. Those who knew him best will not soon forget his sparkling sense of humor or the laughing twinkle in his eye. Here was a man who thoroughly enjoyed life and drained from its cup every drop of goodness and happiness . . . of such men we say, . . more to be desired are they than gold. Page 7
