. . . Goodbye Mr. Chips EDGAR H. BARKER A LL of those who are or have been connected with Textile will mourn the fact that, when the bell for the opening of classes next September sounds, Pro- fessor Edgar H. Barker will no longer be with us in an active capacity. After over forty years at Textile, first as an instructor, and then as head of the Wool department, he will soon stand before a class for the last time, and bewilder them with rapid fire conversation and sparkling wit. Hardly need it be said to any of Professor Barker ' s friends that he was born in Lawrence, Massachusetts, and that after attending the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, came to us in 1901. In those forty years, he has become an institution in himself There are but few traditions at Textile, and Professor Barker is one of them. None who have ever known him will ever forget his fine sense of humor, his patient understanding, and his all-inclusive lectures in textile testing and technology of wool manufacture. Goodbye, Mr. Chips. We hate to see you go. THE1941 [12]
