DEDICATION r% When the Class of 1961 first arrived on the Ha ' erford campus, they were greeted by a new president. Hugh Borton had arrived only a few weeks before the freshmen. A certain very strong kinship was thereby established. And so to our colleague of four years we, the members of the Class of 1961, dedicate this edition of the Record. All of us have, at one time or another, met with Dr. Borton on a personal basis — either with him in his home or on the campus. It is diffi- cult, therefore, for us to think of him as a figure- head. He is an acquaintance of ours, a friend whom we respect. The director of the East Asian Institute of Columbia University immediately before return- ing to his Alma Mater, Dr. Borton also brought with him the experience of having worked six vcars for various State Department •groups. He has written two books and is a member of many academic and social service groups. Perhaps most importantly to us, he is a loyal member of the Ha crtord family — a member ho, in the sense of the Senior Class Night Show, is an integrated, acclimated, educated man. He has remained, as we see, a sports enthusiast since his days as the captain of the soccer team of 1926. He can be seen in the late autumn afternoons conferring with Roy Randall and in the bleak season, he is on the sidelines beneath the drizzle. A man of deliberation and firmness, Dr. Bor- ton maintained a strong stand with respect to loyalty oaths. He has also investigated the pros- pect of expanding the size of the College (even amidst the pleas raised by newspaper editorials and Class Night shows). To a great extent the future of the College rests in his hands. We wish him well.
