IN MEMCRIAM ELLIOT SPEER 1898 - 1934 DEDICATION BY WILFRED W. FRY PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES To the memory of Elliot Speer this book is affectionately dedicated by the Class of l935. Elliot Speer was born. November l, l898, in Englewood, New Jersey, and educated in Andover, Princeton and Edinburgh. l-le came to Northfield from the chaplaincy of Lafayette College in l926 and was shortly thereafter made President of the Schools, ln l93l, in accordance with a growing conviction as to the place of his largest po- tential service, he was, upon nomination by Doctor Cutler, elected l-leadmaster. After a year at the University of Edinburgh he was installed in his new post on October 30, l932. What he accomplished in the two short years at Mount l-lermon is far beyond the compass of this brief dedicatory word to record, Suffice it to say that with quiet courage and contagious enthusiasm he poured all the resources of his remarkable abilities into the new task. While intensely loyal to the purpose of the Founder and the aims of the School, he sought to interpret both in needs and terms of the new day. Beyond all methods and plans, however, there shines the glow of his rare person- ality and radiant Christian faith expressed in a life of singular inspiration to all who knew him-a gift to our school which has inexpressibly enriched our priceless heritage of great tradition. We live in deeds, not years, in thoughts, not breaths, ln feelings, not in figures on a dial.
