Bellaire, L. I. St. Iohn's B. S. Alpha Sigma Vice-President 2 Nicholas A. Knox, Jr. He knew the psychological moment to say nothing. We do not doubt but that Nick has often been referred to as the blond giant from the forests of Bellaire . Perhaps such a refer- ence was only made in his ab- sence, but nevertheless it was inevitable. His cosmopolitan nature, however, belies his ori- gin. His stern sense of justice is delicately tempered with an un- canny talent for understanding the shortcomings and Weakness- es of a lesser man . He firmly believes in individual freedom in every sense of the word. He expects others to respect his views as he would respect theirs. His booming voice, interrupted occasionally by roaring laugh- ter, Will echo forever in our re- collection. His is an heritage that will make history. Of such men are heroes made. We shall forever be proud that he calls us friend. ' King's County Hospital C .:.'L' Y W' Ninety-nine

More truth than fiction . . . he deserves a sincere and just es- timation, for his intimacy has been our most prized possession. His personality is a happy blend- ing of seriousness, joyfulness, worthy ideals, flashing humor and subtlety, determination and excellence in scholarship, and tolerance. There is no doubt that he will go far, because of the rare quali- ties blended in his character. He has given consolation to students and professors by his presence in the Wards during his clerkship -rather rare in the bustle of modern medical education. The associations he has formed throughout his college years have deservedly reflected his personality. Race, creed or color have no part in the molding of his friendships. Character, how- ever, is essential. For those personal qualities which lend themselves so easily to making him a delightful com- panion We maintain the highest regard.
