John Milton Potter came to us in 1942 at a period of crisis both for the country and for small liberal arts colleges through-out the nation. In his inaugural address Dr. Potter stated, This is my lifeas work? During the next four years Dr. Potter expended his entire eHiort towards the creation of a system of Christian Liberal Education here at Hobart that would stand as. an example of the American college system. Counselor, friend, scholar, philosopher and foremost, a man of vision and deter- mination, this was the president that we knew and loved. His sudden death on January 9, 1947 robbed us of one of the greatest Hobart men, but there remains a goal to be accomplished which in itself gives strength. No dedication in words can be complete. Our hope is that the pages in this book, recalling that which is Hobart, will be in itself a memoriam to our president, Dr. John Milton Potter.
