T E A C H E R COUNSELLOR MR. LEON H. ENSWORTH E are grateful that, nearly a quarter of a century ago, from Warren, in the far northwestern corner of our State. Fate turned the footsteps of Mr. Ensworth toward us at a time when the richness and the ripeness of his years were to give thousands of Philadelphia girls and boys the opportunity to lcnow-1 and to love him. His unassuming, unpretentious manner failed to hide a lceenly alert mind. a homely philosophy, a line sense of quaint humor, and a deep, human understanding of the many problems facing Youth. During the latter years of his life, in addition to teaching, Mr. Ensworth filled patiently and untiringly the difficult post of Faculty Counsellor to hoys interested in a college career. He was more than a teacher. more than a counsellor-he was our friend. It is. therefore, peculiarly fitting that we quote from William Penn, whose words Mr. Ensworth lcnew and loved so well: They that love beyond the world can not he separated hy it. Death can not kill what never dies. Nor can spirits ever he divided that love and live in the same divine principle, the root and the record, of their friendship. Death is hut crossing the world, as friends do the seas: they live in one another still ..... This is the comfort of friends, that though they may he said to die, yet their friendship and society are. in the loest sense, ever present because immortal. 17
