ffiarri] 8 rgmmtr Snaa Dean. It is only two years ago that Dean Ross came from Worcester Acad- emy, with which he was connected for eleven years, first as Master of English and later as Assistant Principal. Yet he has filled his position so well that it is difficult to believe that he has not been our Dean for more than two years. At any rate, it would be hard to imagine how Emerson College and the students could get on without him now. He has taken such a vital interest in the students and their welfare, that many times he 4 has sacrificed both his time and his efforts to bring the students in closer relationship with their Alma Mater. Indeed his influence is not soon to be forgotten. M e have found in him a sympathetic friend and wise counselor. He gives the discouraged student a word of cheer, the ambitious encouragement and an added impulse to reach a higher ideal. And last but in his opinion not least, the struggling student who has to earn his bread as well as his tuition, knows that Dean Ross will leave no stone unturned to help him make things go. It ' s all right; one time I knew what it was to be with- out a dollar, has pulled many a student out of the blues and renewed his courage to fight against adversity and turn his troubles into triumphs. Dean Ross’ work in the class room is identified with scholarship and dignity, and his enthusiasm for the best in literature is contagious. He has the genius’ faculty of taking infinite pains, whether it be helping an embryo poet to scan his lines, or assisting a student to do a bit of research work. He is a man of large purpose: he does not work for financial returns alone; his best service is consecrated to an unselfish work, — the progress and wel- fare of his Alma Mater. Perhaps the best tribute his students can render him, is to follow his example and remain always loyal to Emerson and her principles.
