1912 DEDICATION Tribute and gratitude reach everyone in a different manner. Often they are paid in public acclaim or assume the form of gifts. To some though, their highest esteem is meas- ured by the thoughts and memories of thou- sands-the memories which place ueggles- tonii as a species for their discoveries and send visiting graduates scurrying to Alumni. Hall for a a chat with Prof. Teaching extends beyond the classroom. Facts gained there linger, but are often sub- sequently forgotten. Few, however, fail to gain insight into life from his informal tales of the past and frank opinions of present trends. , Numerous relationships are made during 46 years of Histology slides, vertebrates, and, of course, clams. The perennial trail of pipe smoke identifies' him for those outside the science curricula. At present we are forming our college memories. For enriching them through an opportunity to see all facets of bios, we dedicate the 1960 Mariettana to Professor H. Ray Eggleston. 1960 i 6 J

Two active literary societies sprang up at this time, Alpha Kappa and Psi Gamma. They debated the various issues of the times and built up some respectable libraries, the greater portion of which has since been absorbed by the col- lege library.+Under the iirm and sensible guidance of President Linsley, who was the first president of Marietta College, a good general course in the Humanities appeared. The schedule of courses emphasized particu- larly Greek, Latin, Hebrew, and Mathematics, Philosophy and Religion appear to have been considered of secondary importance. Still, a large percentage of the graduates of the col- lege at this time later became ministers. In the early years, Marietta College had many problems and hardships. When the 5 Trustees took over the college from Rev. Bingham, they incurred a debt of some S8,000, and remained insolvent until the early nine- teen hundreds. Through the generosity of many people in both the Marietta area and in the East, the college did manage to sur- vive. It managed so well, in fact, that in 1906 when the Carnegie Foundation for the Ad- vancement of Teaching selected Marietta to receive its retiring allowance for professors, only three other colleges were ranked higher than Marietta, and only six others as high. In 1869 President Ahdrews said of the found- ers, All these men were men of mark. They had strong individual characteristics, but they labored together with great harmony to es- tablish the College which they loved. They desired to build up an institution where in- tellectual culture might be blended with sincere piety. l
