ABRAM BROOKS tn Appreciation The first part of 1948 saw the retirement from the New Bedford textile Institute, of a man, who for many years has been considered one of the most- authoritative sources of information on Organic Chemistry in this section. He took a special course at the New Bedford High School, the night course at the Textile Institute, and finally the day course at Textile. During the first world war, Mr. Grimshaw, an instructor here at the time, recommend- ed that Mr. Brooks be given one of the vacated positions. About this Mr. Brooks says, I accepted the position, although I was somewhat doubtful of being able to do a good job; a feeling that I have held to the present time. There is no doubt in the minds of the many students that have come under his influence, but that he has done a very good job. So, Mr. Brooks, for your 29 years of faithful and fruitful service to the Institute, we, the Class of 1948, respectfully dedicate this page to your well-deserved retirement.
