D E D I C When most of us in the Class of 1965 remember Professor G. Raymond Fennell, we will think of him as the gracious heart behind our Student Union. This is how we knew him best; full of smile and neatly attired behind his simple desk in the Student Center. But, there is another man behind that desk few of us know, a man noted to have the best administrative edu- cation on the faculty, one of the dedicated back- bones of the University for the past thirty-six years. Prof. Fennell was a teacher of economics until 1962, and he has been administrator par excellence since 1929. His duties over the years have ranged from hiring women employees and screening faculty, to admitting students and aiding in the establishment of University policies. In all, he has given the best of his laughter, studies, com- mon sense and initiative. As an alumnus since 1926, he has been known for good talk and free thinking. For us, he is the man who has given us fond memories, hope and a belief in the little, but important, life we have led at our Alma Mater. His charity and hard work have made fora course in humanity listed in the unofficial catalogue of our experience and intellectual leanings.

1 T I N English is his profession, but human under- standing and creativity are his convictions, and Professor Louis E. Roberts gave them to many of us with a v armth and intellectual fervor that has become part of us in memory and heart through the art which evolved in his classrooms. Many of us have known and appreciated Prof. Roberts, faculty advisor to the CAULDRON, our yearbook, The Nil Writer, our literary magazine, Pegasus, our poetry society, and the Northeastern NEWS, our weekly newspaper. In all, he traded with us, freely and forcefully, his wisdom for our growth. The artist was always present in him, from his Freshman English where we learned about Gogol ' s Overcoat to his drama course and Miller ' s Death of a Salesman. Those who never missed it will remember that his Joseph Conrad was rough reading, but it brought us one of the truly great writers of the world. We listen- ed to Prof. Roberts discuss American Literature and Conrad on the radio and always, we listened to a serious mind. Leaving this friend of litera- ture and students will not be a loss for the Class of 1965; we have him. The loss is with others in the future.
