The CHRONICLE An Appreciation of Dr. Fosdick 9,5 some time or other during the course of every Mastenite's life 1q??gA3x',fj at the school on the hill, they come in contact with their youth- ful leader, Pop, Of his career little need be said, as it speaks for itself. However his ideals and fatherly interest in each of his chil- dren's problems command the respect, love and devotion of every Masten graduate and undergraduate alike. Service has been the keynote of Dr. Fosdick's career and it has been his desire to see every student make this ideal of benefiting others, the foremost in his thoughts. Pop's life is a living example of what service has accomplished not only for himself but for others. You will find that Dr. Fosdick's secret knowledge of that fountain of perpetual youth which Ponce de Leon failed to find, lies in this one fact, his perscnal contact with boys and girls. Students have come and gone, doctors, teachers, journalists, musi- cians and others, all of whom at some time or other went to Pop for advice, which they knew would be given only after careful thought. Untold problems have been solved for many, but the class of '26 realizes more fully the depth of his magnetic personality, for he is a member of their class. All honor and glory be to him, who through twenty-nine years has guided the ship Master Park through the uncharted seas and in good condition has turned the ship over to the new pilot. . Your rest is well earned, Dr. Fosdick, and your numerous children rejoice in their com- panionship with you through all the years. In the name of the Student Body Helen Bell. 9
