Over the past decade Dr. Whitaker has served Lehigh devotedly and successfully. Coming to Le- high in 1946 from Oak Ridge, where he directed the Clinton Laboratories in developing vital nuclear materials. President Whitaker has applied his imag- inative grasp of difficult problems to the post-war task of building up a modern University. His prog- ress, reviewed in the evidence of expanding endow- ment and rising sand stone structures, has in itself been impressive. But there is more to progress than the tangible structures of stone and mortar; his wisdom and sincerity of purpose have unified and inspired the Faculty; his friendly, soft spoken au- thority and quiet competence have won the respect of the students. These qualities and achievements have perpetuated and expanded the spirit, as well as the body, of Lehigh. In recognition of his ten years of leadership and service the yearbook staff dedicates this 1956 Epitome to President Martin D. Whitaker.
