Many fruitful years lay ahead of them, but what they have ac- complished will always be remembered by their associates in the textile industry. 29

U. William Lemkin 3n Jffiemortam The Class of Nineteen thirty-seven suffered a severe loss in the death of one of its most esteemed members, U. William Lemkin. Bill contracted his fatal illness while in service during the dis- astrous flood of March, 1936. Perhaps few know that while in National Guard work, he relieved one of his comrades by voluntarily going on watch in his place. To those who knew Bill, this is only a typical example of his unselfishness and devotion to duty. On Registration Day in 1933, many of us can recall that one of the most congenial and jovial of our group was the fellow whom we were later to know as Bill Lemkin. Soon we found him to be one of the real students of our class, whose avid curiosity of the unknown required much concentrated study. But his gift of humor concealed from many his serious nature. As he was eulogized by Rabbi Warren : Those who were acquainted with Bill thought him very humorous, but those who really knew him thought him serious, in fact, some thought him to be too serious. As an athlete, Bill was in the better than average class. During his Freshman, Sophomore, and Junior years, he was prom- inent on the football squad and on the baseball team as well. A real friend, a lovable personality, and a man of character, Bill has left a place among us which cannot be filled.
