Jtt iHrmoram We respectfully dedicate this page to the memory of Abram Brooks — scientist, philosopher, teacher and dreamer — who, for over twenty-nine years, served as instructor in organic chemistry here at the Institute. Abram Brooks was a curious, yet stimulating blend of contradictions and paradoxes. As a teacher and scientist he was challenged by the theories of Einstein; as a dreamer he found delight in the fantasies of Fort. Although a self-taught expert in ballistics, he could still be intrigued by petty mathematical puzzles. His mind was intensely active yet he found time to build a strong body. He will be remembered for the diversity of his interests, for his prolific- reading and for his concern for the problems of his students.

Because he has imparted his amiable personality into many phases of life at the Institute, in activities varying from soccer coach to department head; because as a teacher he has shown great interest in his students and has always been willing to help in every possible way, we, the class of 1950, in appreciation of the untiring efforts which he has spent in making our college years pleasant and constructive, gratefully and respectfully dedicate this issue of the FABRICATOR to MR. FRED BEARDSWORTH

MeLA Cfe jfiam the QaveiM i I welcome the opportunity to extend the greetings of the Common- wealth to the Senior Class of the New Bedford Textile Institute through the medium of your class publication, The Fabricator. For over a half century, the New Bedford Textile Institute (formerly the New Bedford Textile School) has done magnificent work in the matter in training young men who have subsequently achieved distinction in the executive, technical, and financial branches of the textile industry within the Commonwealth and throughout the United States. Since the school started during the final decade of the past century to the present time, the citizens of the Commonwealth, through the medium of their representatives in the General Court, have given such generous support to this institution that it happily occupies a position of eminence in the national field of textile education. Therefore, I am pleased to join with all our citizens in heartfelt good wishes to the members of the present graduating class who will soon go into the great textile industry and who will carry on the great tradition of those who have gone before. Sincerely, PAUL A. DEVER
