DEDICATION ln the limit, as X approaches zero is an expression with which all of Professor Nace's students are familiar. No session of first term calculus would be complete with- out it. At first this expression is bewildering, but by the time the term is over, and after many repetitious and patient explanations, the student finally begins to understand the basic theory of calculus. It is such patient explanation that characterizes Professor Nace. He instills in the student the importance of basic definitions and the building upon these definitions, to form the advanced theory and the practical application to other engineering subiects. Upon his shoulders rests the responsibility of providing the engineering student with his most important and useful tool-mathematics. For, of what use be an engineer, who is not versed in the field of mathematics? Being both an instructor and a department head, Professor Nace has very little Spare Time- Even SO, he gladly gives what spare time he has to help students with The Pfoblemi, both mathematical and personal.

FULFILLMENT . . . Could he but see the new buildings as they rise from the beautiful countryside on the new campus, Dean Russell Ellsworth Lawrence could well be proud. For now, what must have been one of the Dean's fondest dreams is becoming a reality. d b I d roudl , the school has risen Following a principle of stepping forwar , rave y an p y from its humble beginning in the midst of the depression, in l932, to one of the biggest and best engineering colleges in the nation. lt is unfortunate that Dean Lawrence could not have lived to watch the growth of his dream and see the final brave step in the building of this beautiful new campus. He would be proud to know that his motto of Theory and Practice in engineering education has stuck with the school and is in fact exemplified in the new campus since it was designed by members of the school's own faculty and student groups. As graduating seniors, each of us will go into his respective field and prove to our employers and colleagues the worth of such a motto in education. By doing this, and bY be'n9 m0f0llY, physically, and spiritually good citizens, we will be a credit to our school, our country, and our God' Six
