One late summer afternoon about thirty years ago, in New Kensington, Pennsylvania, a young girl sat with her mother at the dining room table. They were sewing name tags on clothes in preparation for the girl's first year in college. All at once, the girl looked up and said, Mother, l'm not going to the college we've planned on. Her mother was understandably startled. Where are you going? To Hood College. 'Tian you get in there? I don't know, but l'n1 going to try. Four days later, Miss Martha Briney came to Hood College as a freshman. She spent four outstanding years here and several years later, when a vacancy in the English depart- ment occurred, the President of Hood, Dr. Henry l. Stahr, remembered Miss Briney and offered her the position. She accepted. Dr, Briney's sudden decision that afternoon had a tre- mendous influence on her life and gave us one of our most talented teachers and gifted minds. We, as students, are the real beneficiaries. She has thrown open the worlds of the poets-from Milton to Pope to Keats-for students of English literature. Her genius in the classroom is her great- est gift to Hood and, in addition, she has given of her energy and ability as advisor to the Touchstone and the Blue and Grey. Speaking for the Touchstone, we would be lost without her. For her countless and invaluable contributions to Hood College, we dedicate the 1964 Touchstone to Dr. Briney, with admiration and gratitude. Q The Touchstone staff shows its appreciation for Dr. Briney's helpful guidance.
