When did he arrive? In the fall of 1017. He has not been here continually, however, for he spent eight months in Germany and four months in France during his term of service. He has shown his ability as a student by completing his course in three years. Dick has made one of the best records in college and “Dutchie,” realizing his worth as an office man, gave him the place as college Secretary during his senior year. He so conducted his life while here that he demands respect of his fellow students, and every member of the faculty value his judgment as a business man. He has a pleasing disposition and where you see Dick you see his smile. He is a Christian gentleman and he possesses the qualties that spell success. May the world know him as the writer does and his friends will be innumerable. ROBERT GANDY, B. A Sanford, Miss. Philomathean; President Y. M. C.

Throughout the four years spent here, his work has been of the highest type. The Faculty, recognizing his ability and brilliant prospects, awarded him the Dampeer scholarship in his Junior year. All recognize in “Bob” the best all- round student in our midst. No more popular one is to be found among the boys than he, and his popularity is evidenced among the “fair sex” also. Loved and highly esteemed by’ everyone who makes his acquaintance, “Bob” will be of great service to God and humanity as a minster of the Gospel. Page Twenty -six
