i arrif g’lniauntr Siuis Drau Ills song n as onhi living aloud His Xi’ork a singing nulh his hand.” Never was that statement truer of any man than of our beloved Dean. Ever since 1908 when he came to Emerson to assume the duties of office of Dean, the students have felt the influence of a life who:e aim is to be kind and good to all m every way. Flow well this has been accomplished may be gauged by the love felt for him by all who have come under his influence. Harry Seymour Ro:s was born in E.ast Haddam, Conn., in 1868, where he spent his early life until he entered Oberhn College at twenty years of age. Here he went thru the preparatory school and did three years of college work. After this he entered Emerson College, from which he graduated in 1897. After his graduation he was Professor of English and Elocution at Worcester Academy and later he was made acting Principal. It was from this position that he was called to return to Emerson. Whether it be financial troubles or discouragement, ambitious plans or just the little everyday frictions that we need help with, each one of us feels that he can “take it to the Dean.” Best of all, one never comes away without feeling the better for the ready sympathy and help of our dear, busy friend in the office.
