Lake Forest College - Forester Yearbook (Lake Forest, IL)

College Hall, built in l878 as the original college building, has been the scene of much activity this year. With customary regularity lectures, examin- ations, experiments, and meetings have taken place here throughout the year. But this year, always one of the busiest of all Lake Forest buildings, College Hall witnessed an innovation. Advised by Mr, Boedecker, an efficient committee of students led by Chair- man Bill Bulow inaugurated the be- ginnings of a vitally needed Student Center -the Coffee Shop was ren- novated, a soda bar added, and a recre- ation room prepared. This project, which will be extend- ed as time goes on, should be a lasting memorial to the students of l94O-4l. Because this is true, and because the old College Hall bell will ring many future generations of Foresters to classes, this year's FORESTER wouldn't be complete without reserving a spe- cial place for the Father of the Cam- pus.

For thirty-one years Lake Forest students learned from Fletcher B. Coffin. They en- joyed his smile and his cordiality. They felt free to treat him as a friend, for they were aware of his sincere interest in them and their col- lege. Thus, when one day last November Dr. Coffin conducted his last class and began a well-earn-ed period of re- tirement, Foresters realized that the campus had lost a tireless teacher and true scholar, a sincere friend and firm counsellor. And so, we -express in print the loss which Lake Forest feels with Dr. Cof- fin's retirement, and we pay tribute to an admirable academic career when . . . if WE DEDICATE THIS VOLUME TO FLETCHER B.
