Many hours behind a desk as well as amidst hundreds of other duties kept Dan McCarty extremely busy during his too short career as Governor. A casual and gracious manner made him one of our most likeable Governors. IN MEMORIAM It is fitting and proper that we should here pay tribute to a man of rare worth and character, a man pos- sessed of keen foresight and loyalty whose life was marked by a series of achievements — Dan McCarty. His character, ideals, keen interest, and sincere devotion will be a constant inspiration to many. He will long be remembered as a friend to the stu- dents and administration of Florida State University as well as being Governor of the State of Florida. V Page 18

DEDICATION : ■■■ ■ The words of A. N. Whitehead can best express the feeling we have for our faculty, to whom this edition of the Tally-Ho is dedicated: For half a century on both sides of the Atlantic, I have been concerned with appointments. Nothing is more difficult than to distinguish between a loud voice and vigor, or a flow of words and originality or mental insta- bility and genius or a big book and fruitful learning. Also the work requires dependable men. But if you are swayed too heavily by this admirable excellence, you will gather a faculty that can be depended upon for being common place. Curiously enough the achievements of the faculty do not depend on the exact judiciousness of each appointment. A more important factor in the production of learning is the creation of a stimulating atmosphere. Pacre 17
