One has only to turn the pages of the SARGASSO for the last several years to realize that Earlham is an organic growing thing. It has direction and purpose, resilience and power. It is never complete. This is the way of all good colleges. But at Earlham the Quaker heritage- of simplicity, in- -tegrity, quality, concern and responsibility take on a special meaning. These qualities make of Earlham a society of learning and teaching and pioneering, a community of .understanding and vision Those of us who have had an opportunity to- live and work at Earlham are fortunate, for it can help us to live and work effectively elsewhere. Graduating from Earlharn not only in 1912 as a student, but in 1958 as an administrator, I shall continue to work through you as you will through me, for the greater realization of those values which make Earlham great, Thomas E. jones June, 17, 1958

MAR-IORIE FRENCH, Dean of women at Earlham for the past six years, has to-und time, in spite of her many administrative duties, to be a counselor and friend to the women of Earlham. She will be missed on cam- pus next year, as she leaves to take the position of As- sociate Dean of Student of New York State University Teacher's College. ERIC CURTIS joined the Earlham faculty in l948 as assistant professor of chemistry. In a few years he be- came Dean of Men which led to his present position of Dean of Students and Admissions. With this he is re- sponsible for the personnel development of the college. Under the new administration his responsibilities will expand and include acting in a vice-presidential cap- acity to Landrum Bolling and also continuing his pre- sen-t line of work. GLADYS NEAL, head resident of Olvey-Andis, has made a real contribution to the Earlham community. For the past four years she has helped the freshmen wo- men to become accustomed to the new and hectic pace of college life. This year she resumed teaching Latin on an individual study basis.
