To these men and women, whose Iikenesses appear on the pages which follow, we as students owe a debt ot gratitude. For it is they who, in a world gone mad, are dedi- cating their lives to the effort of opening to our view the wide vistas of learningg who try to stimulate in us an abiding interest in that in- sight into lite which is too often barred to us because ot our tradi- tional students' intellectual leth- argy. Let us, then, be grateful to these men and womeng let us hope that they will succeed in their chosen task. But let us not forget that they must depend upon us for a wholehearted cooperation in the ab- sence of which their efforts mean nothing. I3

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.

PRESIDENT HERBERT MCCCDMB IF you were to drop in to the Moore's for a friend- ly chat, the chances are' they would show you a letter received by Mrs. Moore at the time of her marriage. This letter, from one of Mrs. Moore's former teachers at Wilson College, came at the time Dr. Moore was a minister in Goldfield, Col- orado, a position which evidently held little prom- ise in the eyes of the instructress. However, hers was an encouraging note, and ended with: I hope you will convert the miners of the West, then try the sarne on the Eastern prevaricators. See if you and your parson can avail in influencing college presidents to tell the truth, It would be a noble work, but a fearful task. Little did she imagine that today, thirty-one years later, we would be looking back with Dr. Moore on his twenty-one very successful years of quite honest service as president of Lake Forest College!
