To the memory ot one, whose name is inseparable trom that ot his university, we dedicate this, our book. We will think ot him not in terms ot the passing ot days, the span ot years nor the duration ot time, but we will remember a man, an ideal and a dedication to service and achievement. XXfe, who linger here to tred these walks, will teel that majesty and that awe ot his presence as in the clear, star-studded night we look up through the branches ot Chancellor's elm and believe, as he believed, that the stars keep taith with us, though men and buildings perish. Like mirrors ot his work we present our solemn moments ot quiet homage to those who have passed away: our happy moments ot playq our hours ot learning and study. Nllfe who remain cannot weep nor stop. lt is ours to continue building and magnitying an ever greater Drake to which he consecrated his lite. lt is in this spirit that we in the 60th anniversary year ot the University, do dedicate this book to Daniel Walter Morehouse, scholar, astronomer, teacher and leader among men.
