A GIFT TO THE GIVER Everyone at the meeting was bored, until a gentle-faced little man took the floor. ... No one was paying enough attention to catch his name; but his quiet words suddenly registered like an electri- fying pronouncement. ' It seems to me, ' he said, ' that the important thing is not raising money, but getting people to give; not what the money does for the institution that gets it, but what it does for the people who give it. What I hope is that you can save the privilege of free-will giving. ' That was all, and yet the room suddenly came alive. Instead of the usual perfunctory applause when the man sat down, there were several mo- ments of silence. Perhaps because he is fundamentally a lover of the simple things, and perhaps because we are so close to him, it is difficult to express in just a few words or even in a great many, our feelings toward this humble Psychology professor. The gentleness of his nature, the innate kindliness, and the per- sistent, almost incredible faith in all men make him that rare being, a genuine humanitarian. For these reasons and many more — familiar to those who know him — we dedicate this book to Professor Grover C. Shaw, a gift indeed to the giver. Page Two
