DEDICATION For many years past, it has been the custom of each graduating class to honor an outstanding member of the faculty by dedicating their yearbook to him. This year we are departing from this tradition in order to display our appreciation of the efforts by a distinguished alumnus to further the aims of the Academy and its graduates. We dedicate this 1953 MUSTER to Captain Thomas E. Burke, a graduate of the Nautical School with the Class of 1939, in recognition of his unselfish contributions towards the welfare of the Academy and its graduates, both through his activity in the Massachusetts Maritime Academy Alumni Association, and through his own individual efforts. Captain Burke has carried on this activity for several years, often subordinating his own personal interests in favor of those of the Academy. It is a source of great pride to each of us to realize that, with our graduation from this Academy, we join the ranks of the men like Captain Burke who have preceded us.

A NOTE OF APPRECIATION This year, 1953, marks the passing of Lieutenant Commander Richard P. Hodsdon from the Academy scene. His retirement at the close of our last cruise was met with our deepest regret, since we realized that his departure would leave a vacancy at the Academy which could never be filled by any other person. It is not in the classroom that the vacancy will persist, but in the hearts of the midshipmen themselves. Mr. Hodsdon will occupy a place among us wherever we may go, for the knowledge which he has imparted to us cannot be found in any text- book, nor can it be forgotten with the passage of time. We of the Class of 1953 wish to extend to Mr. Hodsdon our most sincere congratulations on his completion of a long and successful career in education, and to thank him for his patience and understanding both in the classroom and on board the Charleston during our too-brief association with him. We will always be grateful for the opportunity to have served under him. The Class of 1953
