There are many obstacles to :ue surmounted, many pr'ol3l'i:rns to be faced. lt important that college be more than just a building. lt is an ideag and. more than that, it is people dedicated to the idea of building a better world through the use of one of the greatest tools man has, education. Mr. Hammers was such a man. He was dedicated to his professiong and, in his dedication, set an example for us all to follow. Mr. Hammers, who was an associate professor of mathe- matics, was among the hrst members of the faculty to be appointed to G.C.C. in 1967. He accepted his position with enthu- siasm, and worked continuously to establish high academic standards at the new college, We the students of Genesee Community College. would therefore, like to dedicate ihis yearbook to the memoq' of Evl Edward Hanmiers. Those of us who had him as a Math. instruc- tor are aware of the love he had for his field. and we all bene- litted from it. More than this. however, was the fact Kl'l?u. he was a friend to everyone. faculty and student alike. We were all touched by the friendship of this quiet man. Mr. Hammers was a pan of our hfe at G.C.C.. and we shall not forget him. Eut we will miss the man who helped to broaden our horlzons, and taught us to work for the future.
