DEDICATION This dedication is written on behalf of the entire student body of Drexel Institute of Technology. Goodness is something so simple: always to live for others, never to seek one's own advantage. -Dag Hammarskiold The death of a great man is always difficult to accept. This is particularly true with Harold J. Budd, whose involvement with Drexel, and particularly its students, was totally pervasive. lf dedications are written to insure the immortality of a person in the minds of men, none need be written for him, for there he will certainly remain so long as the future of Drexel or its students derives in any way from the past. It is neither appro- priate nor necessary to document here the contributions that Harold Budd made to this institution. Deeds are only extensions of the person, and the person of Harold Budd is what we wish to present here. The poet Dylan Thomas wrote the lines of Do not go Gentle Into That Good Night in admonition to his father in old age. It can be said that Harold Budd left after a full life of labor and satisfying accomplishment. If he was prepared for retire- ment, it certainly wasn't evidenced by any lessening of activity or interest. He had no free hours on his schedule. When not lecturing, he was invariably counselling someone in his office. His physical vitality was a perfect complement to his intellec- tual vigor, both of which were a challenge for anyone to match. If his death was not untimely in terms of age, it certainly was in terms of worth. Although it is impossible to capture the essence of the man in words, Dr. Hagerty touched on the main factor when he said that the . . . students have lost one of their best friends. l I .l sa if - - l.: wfgis.. .. as lfmfr-ee: .1-new T :ix zlmfi HAROLD J. BUDD June 23, 1901-November 6, 1965 Young or old, whoever was touched by Harold Bucld's friend- ship was inevitably affected forever. Everything seemed so much worthier and handsomer when you were his friend, espe- cially friendship itself. Just what made this friendship so unique is equally difficult to pinpoint. Perhaps it was the full-throated greeting and the well chosen words he emitted between puffs on the ever-present pipe. Perhaps it was the particular way he had of becoming instantly and intimately familiar with a per- son by means of penetratingly personal inquiries which were never a cause for embarrassment but only evidence of what the deepest caring could uncover. Or perhaps it was the hand on the shoulder and the word of encouragement. Two words best explain his friendship: He cared. He cared about everything concerning the academic, professional, and athletic development of Drexel. He cared about the students, their great plans and their trivial thoughts. Above all he cared for individuals, particularly those with whom he shared a con- cern for law. Those who never knew him missed one of the unique expe- riences of life. Those who numbered among his friends, and they are legion, know what it was and understand each other's sorrow. To say that he is missed by many is to understate the obvious. To say his influence and example will be a source of strength for many in the years ahead is to reveal the inevit- able.
