Dean Macintosh THE ADMIISISTRATION Felix Morley, our president, performed his du- ties as the head of a small liberal arts college with great success by having an article pubHshed in the Saturday Evening Post, serving on an Army advisory bo.ird, speaking at the commencement of the University of Kansas, and joining the staff of a news letter. Mrs. Morley knitted and made cocoa while the president explained Soc- rates for a seminar in political thought. In mid- May, time was taken out from three packs a day, to warn of excessive indulgence in the dining hall and poor examples for the undergraduates. Nevertheless, and despite all these activities, the president has taken time out to do a fine job of overcoming the wartime problems of Haverford, and of getting to know a great many more students. Brint Stone had more jobs than Ickes by the end of the year. Dean Gibh narrowly escaped writer ' s cramp helping out Pop and some of the cut-conscious members of the faculty. Mac maintained a far-flung correspondence with our draft boards, and tried to keep a floor on the student population. President Morley, Dr. Meldrum

Dr. Frederick Palmer, Jr., is retiring from service to Haverford College this year, after forty years of teaching. In grateful remembrance of his long contribution to this College, we the Class of 1946, are glad of the opportunity to dedicate our yearbook to him. For his valuable instruction, his helpful guidance, and for his ready friendship, we are choosing this method of expressing the appreciation of the whole College Community.

THE FACULTY The Government and the endowment helped us to keep the faculty in such numbers as nearly to surpass the student body. Alum.nus Francis Cope Evans came from Oxon to fill the place of Zoologist Dunn, oif to Bogota chasing snakes. Fetter was in India most of the year with Lend lease, but brought back some choice autographs of Anglo-American generals and politicos for the library. Dr. Allendoerfer, who had just finished a stay in Washington, went there again after the ASTU evacuations. Monty Melchior ' s de.ith was a shock, and great loss to the entire College. After forty years with the Haverford Physics Department, Fritzie Palmer retired. And Dr. Rittenhouse announced that next January he would become an emeritus. Omar Pancoast expected a call from the Army next month, month after month, and finally turned the fourth floor of the stack into the Main Line Academy of Music. Uncle Edmund Stinnes made Rosemont seem much closer. Eloise came as faculty secretary; T. O. Jones didn ' t have to apologise for Oshkosh anymore. Douglas Steere made his third attempt to train relievers and re- constructors, and finally seems to be succeeding because he works from within. Watson and Sargent engaged in a competition for students for their 8b and ?2b respectively. Dr. Lunt gave History 6 and lectured on Louis XV, Mesdames Maintenon and Pompadour: DuBarry. gentlemen, was not a lady.
