Dedication 0 all future editorial staffs, to all college students, and to all who have been unwary enough to open the covers of this book, this dedication is inscribed. Since we believe that dedications as applied to such non-creative compilations as annuals count for very little, that they are usually so much hol- low flattery, giving the impression of setting up as little gods people who are entitled simply to decent respect and admiration, and finally, since we feel that nobody reads them anyhow, it is our earnest hope that this one may serve as a Dedication to end all Dedications. The Staff. I ' age Four

Professor Henry Katterjohn October 24, 1861 — November 4, 1931 We know for such as you, death cannot be Less than the victory that sets men free. These closing lines of a sonnet dedicated to Henry Katterjohn by Karl M. Chworowsky, accentuate all that crowds in upon us in view of the fact that our dear Professor, friend, and leader is no longer among us. Our consolation lies in the assurance that even death is a victory. What impress he left upon the minds of his students, colleagues, neigh- bors and friends, we might summarize in the expression — he was a friend to all. With no thought of self, he was at all times available for those that sought his counsel and in that counsel there was always manifest a humanly Christian quality which cannot easily be forgotten. As some of his former students have discovered in the school of life just how much his inspiration meant to them, so those who have just re- cently been deprived of that intimate fellowship with him will learn, in perspective, to appreciate him more as time heals the wounds and compen- states for the loss sustained.
