DEDICATION A comparatively new member of the Millsaps faculty, Dr. Charles Donald Caplenor has become almost a legendary character. To those freshmen who are in- troduced to the biological world under his dedicated guidance, and to those majors who find his advice and counsel so valuable, there seems no question that he cannot answer. More important to Dr. Caplenor than the instilling of a vast accumulation of facts in the minds of his students is that they understand and have a practical application of what they study. The epitome of understanding and kindness. Dr. Caplenor inspires an eagerness to learn and a willingness to study. Affectionately called Dr. Cap by those who regard him as a friend as well as a teacher, he has done more than anyone in recent years toward making the biology department at Millsaps one of the South ' s outstanding. Because he has shown an especial devotion to his profession; because he has given untiringly of his time, his knowledge, his friendship — we, the editors and staff members, dedicate the 1961 BOBASHELA to Dr. Charles Donald Caplenor, Dr. Cap. DR. C DONALD CAPLENOR [ 3 ]

The whole is greater than the sum of its parts — • a vibrant, ever- changing whole transcends the outward appearance of a factual Millsaps College. The parts of the Millsaps whole remain stationary with its dormitories, its organizations, its classrooms, its traditions. The doors of Murrah swing open now as they did a decade or two decades ago, though the student faces which pass through change slightly each year and completely every four. Is Greater Than . . . Tap Day returns, though participants may not, the stairs in Found- ers sag a little more each year as mute testimony to never ending door calls, the grill continues to close at ten, mail still arrives twice a day . . . The whole is stationary — yet the changing student population creates a paradoxically throbbing, shifting quality within that stationary whole. And solely within this quality lies the greatness the bare parts alone could never possess. [ 5 ]
