IN MEMORIAM In the death of John Dean Bickford we have suf- fered a heavy loss. We may truly call him one of the most brilliant and stimulating men who have ever taught at Hotchkiss, Of scholarly mind and extraor- dinary intelligence, he had acquired a breadth of know- ledge notable alike for its diversity, exactitude, and in- stant availability. Beside the intellectual gifts already named, he had the gift of humor-satiric, illustrative, salty-high standards of scholarship, together with a fearlessly unyielding persistence in exacting them that accepted no compromise from himself or others, and a real affection for the boys, a real interest in their Wel- fare that made a great many of them his personal friends. But the final word that should be spoken of him here is one of affection. His closest friends were those who felt for him the highest esteem, but it was also true that those who really knew him loved him.
