AN APPRECIATION During the school year mirrored in this year's issue of the Marionette, Marion College was called upon to pass through an experience which she had never known. It was the loss of her Acting President, Professor Henry A. VVest, who was called to his reward on January 17th. Professor Xllest came to Marion College in the autumn of 1926. and served for one year as Head of the Department of Mathematics. In 1927 he was made Acting President, which position he held until the time of his death. During the live years of his stay among us. Professor XN'est greatly endeared himself, both to students and faculty. To know him was to love him. and the more intimately one became acquainted with him. the more he recognized his splendid qualities. It can be truthfully said of Professor VVest that he was a friend of everyone and a man who sought peace. He was just the type of a friend which young life appreciates. No matter was too trivial to receive his attention, and the person most likely to become discouraged appeared to be his special object of concern. Unknown to all but his most intimate friends, Professor Vxfest had labored for several years under the handicap of failing health. The strug- gle which he made was an heroic one. The Holiday Season which is expected to bring new inspiration and cheer, brought with it just the opposite for the family of Professor West, and within a few weeks, he had left us. During the year, Professor VVest testified to a deepening of his own spiritual life, and gave evidence of a very vital interest in the spiritual welfare of all of the students of Marion College. One who knew him will never forget his genuine sympathy. His life will doubtless live for good in the lives of all the students who were permitted to come into contact with him during these few years. -J. A. H. -..if Page 7 Eg.--
