E if? GEORGE HERBERT KNIGHT To lhose who knew Dr. G. I-lerberf Knighr any wriiien Jrribufe will seem inadequaie and incompleie. The real lribufe To his memory lies wilhin The hearls of his friends, his siudenis and his co-workers. For Dr. Knighi loved his world and all who occupied iT, and his world, in Turn loved and respecied him as if is +he privilege of few men +o be loved and revered. Dr. G. l-lerloerl Knighi was a Jreacher, a scholar, a musician and, mosl of all, a genlleman. Never in my long associarion wiih him did I hear him ulfer an unkind word abour any slrudenl. Kindly, willy, sympalhelic and undersfandinq he was a friend To all. To Jrhose of us who knew him he seems wil'h us slill because his memory is one which canno'r die. James Smilh U1 '
