WALTER HETHERINGTON DURFEE, A.B., M.C.E., Ph.D. With the realization of the fact that the greater percentage of the nation’s youth, and especially those pursuing a college education, will be in the service in a short time, it has become increasingly difficult to find and keep men of college material for Hobart. Liberal arts colleges, being among the hardest hit of all in our American collegiate system, have a choice of feverishly devising new sources of income, at the expense of high educational ideals, to entice and hold customers, or to uphold the difficult standards of principle and integrity. We here pay tribute to a proponent of the latter, Walter Hethering- ton Durfee. In a time when ideals, institutions, and age-old customs are being smashed, he has steadily upheld the traditions of the Durfees, who number their years as years of service to education, to Hobart, and to civilization. . . . Furnish men with aim and courage, Free of fraud and wrong. 13
