DEDICATION To one whose own fathomless wealth of knowledge and wisdom kindles within us a burning thirst to learn; To one who has quickened our sleeping and insensitive minds to a finer appreciation for the conflicts of the human heart; To one whose keen insight into the ills of life prods us from our complacency — an insight that does not give birth to cynicism, but in the words of one of his favorite authors, refuses to accept the end of man, and inspires us to build a better tomorrow; To one whose refreshing forthrightness and classic wit imprint on our hearts the invaluable truths of living; To Dr. Franklin T. Walker, one of the memorable few walking the pathway of men to whom the word great may be applied. We dedicate this, the 1955 Tribesman . K it. 14
