DEAN PHILIP MASON PALMER When Lehigh men turn to thoughts of what makes standards in education, and to what makes educated men with standards, they turn instinctively to teachers who have inspired and taught them not only from the pages of books but from the pages of life. No other at Lehigh but Dean Philip Mason Palmer can answer so well to the title of master-teacher of knowledge and of life. When the University Board of Trustees needed a kev man to help fill the gap of the no-president era, they turned to Dean Palmer and appointed him chairman; but the greatest tribute that can be paid to Professor Palmer is that his students throughout the years have returned to Lehigh seeking renewal of the fellowship which began in the common bond of study in a class room.

WALTER RALEIGH OKESON To the spirit of Walter Raleigh Okeson we dedicate this page and the whole contents of thought and feelings given in this book to the history of events which have helped to make Lehigh what it is. Walter Okeson, class of ' 95, gave the best years of his life to building the financial security of the university and to the establishment of Lehigh as one of the highest caliber engineering univer- sities in the country. Only through such faith and work for Lehigh as Okey gave, can an institution survive the many difficult years that any privately endowed institution must face. He gave Lehigh his best, and Lehigh will ever be honored by the name of Walter Okeson as the champion of her cause. 8
