for those in TO THE VALIANT They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old; Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning We will remember them. Strong and swift in the game, hurling the ball in long arcs from man to man . . . Gay and mannerly in the glowing grace of college parties . . . Intent in library and laboratory, eager in a classroom . . . Vigorous and earnest in sometimes menial labor to earn the way . . . Strolling through the mellow autumn campus with a girl, planning a golden future. Casually they said, Uncle Sam wants me, or laughingly, Good- bye, Mama, I ' m off for Yokohama, though fully aware of the menace ahead. Courageously, on some flaming beachhead or in the magnifi- cent loneliness of the air, they laid their good lives down. Now we call them valiant. It is a dramatic word — a solemn word. It sets them apart — in honor. At the going down of the sun and in the morning We will remember them. KILLED IN Kenneth Beall Joseph Brownback Isaac Carmack Wayne E.

this book JOSE ECHANIZ because he is a great musical artist .... because he is a vigorous personality .... and because he has so enriched our lives with both his music and his per- sonality. To the man who becomes a great musical artist is given the task of living both above and within human- ity. This is almost a contradiction in itself, and few men are able to re- solve the two into a single purpose. Jose Echaniz is an artist who could, and so has become a sincere, intel- lectually honest musician. We re- spect him for that, and we are grate- ful that he didn ' t consider us so naive that he had to play down to us. Both the University and the com- munity have benefited from Mr. Echaniz ' s genius. He has brought many exciting hours of sheer enjoy- ment; he has brought fame and re- cognition to Millikin; and he has shown us a fine example of the im- portance of just living the simple life of the family man. We like to recall the sparkling, informative talks which his wife so willingly gave to the var- ious clubs on campus . . . and Carlos making the rounds of the sorority houses picking up the latest news and occasionally borrowing something as utilitarian as a lawnmower . . . and the day that Mr. Echaniz became a citizen of the United States. It is for his music that Millikin will long remember Jose Echaniz. We rejoice with him in his new po- sition at Eastman; we didn ' t want him to leave, but we are proud to have him associated with such an in- stitution. But the haunting strains of his music are still drifting some- where about Albert Taylor Hall. The poetic dreaminess of his Liebe- straum .... the pulsing emotion of his Cuban rhythms .... the saucy impudence of his Peter and the Wolf .... the brilliance and mag- nificent artistry of his Brahms ' Var- iations on a Theme of Paganini These, then, are the things which Jose Echaniz has left to the heritage that is the Millikin family — the mem- ory of great music as created by a great man. We are richer by far for his merely having passed this way. 11
