BAYARD ROUGH Writing this dedicatory Dage is an assign ment I rplish vrith pleasure and enthusiasm, I have knovm liT, Bayard Rouch for many years, and the relationship has been quite varied — as a stud ' nt of hisj as a colleague in the teaching profession, and on a teacher-princ- ' pal basis. I am quite frank :.n saying I have never met a finer person. The number cf young people whose lives have been favorably influenced because they were associated with Mr. Rouch is uncountable. His inpact on people, -vriiether in the classroom in the athletic arena or srmpXy by personal contact has been an impact of insisting on the best of ability with honor. He has that valuable asset of being able to inspire people to do their absolute best, without criticizing if one simply could not get the job done after exerting his full ability. This could continue for pages, but I would summsLrize by saying that if I possess any good qualities, and achieve any degi ' ee of success, no small amount can be attributed to the fact that T was fortunate to work under and with Vt Bayard Rouch, This book could be dedicated to no finer teacher and gentleman. .
