3n emortam To the esteemed memory of Dr. Eugene Hendrix Stevenson whose brilliant mind and magnanimous spirit made him an ideal professor and a true humanitarian, the Class of 1940 dedicates this annual, in the hope that it will serve to keep alive in the remembrance of the students of Lebanon Valley College the personality of one whose part in the unfolding drama of life was interrupted, we feel, all too early. Yet his character has not disappeared, his manuscript has not been discarded, nor his lines forgotten. To the end that they may be preserved and perpetuated this volume is inscribed. Dr. Stevenson ' s activities on campus were in various fields. His contribution to the general stream of life at Lebanon Valley was not confined to one narrow channel, but was diffused through many streams. Nor was it the less deep or profound for its diffusion. He had an exceptional and well-deserved popu- larity as a professor. Not only was his knowledge of his field matched by his ability to interpret that knowledge to his students, but his tolerance and sympathetic attitude readily made friends and held them to him with hoops of steel. Through his interest in the International Relations Club he stimulated among students a humanitarian interest in and evaluation of world affairs, and at the same time encouraged independent and constructive thinking directed toward ridding civilization of the ills besetting it. Though his chief claim to our enduring memory is his scholastic ability, Dr. Stevenson aided in the administration of athletics and participated in actual play as well. He was a skilful tennis player and not only took an interest in the game for the pleasure it afforded him, but because of the qualities of good sportsmanship it engendered. Although his service was so diversified, it had one goal, and that the fuller realization of life for mankind. His life ivas gentle, and the elements So mix d in him that Nature might stand up And say to all the world ' This was a man! '
