A friendly, courfeous, hard- working man, and an excellent teacher. Dr. Harvey H. LaFuze is loved and respected by his stu- dents and fellow faculty members. Since coming to Eastern in 1 939, he has given many hours to fur- thering Eastern and her program. As head of the Biology Depart- ment, he is recognized as an out- standing administrator. He has devoted many hours to sponsoring various campus organizations. The Wesley Foundation, the Methodist youth group on campus, was founded by him in the 1940 ' s. The success of the Photo Club and the Milestone is, to a great extent, dependent on the advice and counsel he gives to these organi- zations. These are but a few of the reasons why Dr. LaFuze is so deserving of the honor which has been bestowed upon him. Dr. LaFuze — the sen or class, the student body, the facutty, and most of all, we the Milestone staff, salute you! DEDICATION A native of Indiana, Dr. LaFuze received his A.B. degree from DePauw University, and his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from the State University of Iowa. Aside from his many campus activities, he still finds time to be an active member of his church and the local civic organizations. His hobbies of photography, the study of native trees, and gardening are important to him, but he enjoys them more with his wife and two daughters around to make some suggestions and give advice.
