For the Love of Life Most of us perceive him as The Administrator, the Man with the Title, the Insensitive Manager. Obviously, most of us do not perceive him fully. Although he is intent, busy in his office before the secretaries arrive in the morning, he is not inaccessible; the influence of his easy-going manner is obvious in an office which is casual, friendly and open to all. He seems never too busy to help a hysterical student who has just discovered she hasn ' t enough hours to graduate in May; he is always ready to share a laugh with anyone around. Because of his interest in Meredith students, we see him at senior music recitals, basketball games, tennis matches, and college plays. He impresses us in many cases by knowing our first names and by remembering even our interests and hometowns. In his free time, we see him enjoying the Friends of the College concerts, playing tennis with friends, attending Stewart Theater productions, and keeping pace with the ever-chan ging literary and historical world. If we visit a certain church, we find him a pillar Miss Wilson, Counselor. of the bass section of the choir; his devotion to the Christian faith is evident in his teaching of a Sunday School class. And yet, these academic, social, community, and church affairs never replace his first committment — his family. Never is he too busy to plan family outings, to ski with his daughter, to camp with his son, to take long, peaceful walks in the woods or along the beach, to spend that extra time which makes his family a special part of his life. Compassionate . . . patient . . . honest . . . open . . . witty . . . firm of conviction . . . gentle of manner . . . respecter of persons . . . believer of Christian principles . . . searcher for truth . . . sharer of wisdom . . . seeker of challenges . . . husband . . . father . . . friend . . . historian . . . counsellor . . . advisor . . . teacher and yes, on his bad days a little miserable and grouchy like everyone else. We all have our favorite administrator who is special! The administrator is more than the Man with the Title: he is a lover of life.
