. Qjie M11 ex 0f1Q25 Liisia- ever Mr. Dean sat, there was the head of the table. lt was this very human side of him that brought his friends to him so closely and endeared him to all of his acquaintances, , lt will be always a source of deep joy to remember that lvlr. Dean's birthday for many years was celebrated by his colleagues. On Mr. Deans eightieth birthday celebrated at the University Club by faculty members and other intimate friends of Mr. Deans in the law, he said by way of urging lawyers to a deeper sense of re- sponsibility: i'We lawyers do not exercise our rightful influence in the community. We hold too lightly therwork in which we are engaged. We stand as defenders of society against anarchy and chaos. When we have control of the moral influences in society, we are sure our country is safe, By accepting his modest estimate of himself yet strong and fearless, we know that he got results without ever having been compelled to engage in a single phy- sical encounter throughout his fifty-seven years' practice of law in the middle west. A wide reader upon many subjects, an ardent student by day and into the night, he seemed to have reached the fullness of his powers long in advance of the average man. ln the words of his friend, judge Willard P. Hall, he kept growing and broadening all the time, ln the eyes of most of us, Mr. Dean had reached the highest proportions of intellectuality and his passing from our ranks has seemed like the falling of a mighty oak in the forest. All who knew this grand old man feel a sense of personal loss in his passing, but they feel that they are a better, stronger people for having known him. While we will never see him in the flesh again, his indomitable spirit will live forever in our hearts, as an eternal monument to right thinking and right doing. As a final tribute to our beloved friend and inspiration, ul-le served all men well, - ELMER N. POWELL, Faculty Afember. ' ll2I
