fbeofcafeoffo Dear Dr. Cooper: Four years have passed since the first day that I sat at your feet as a beginning student in chemistry. I was full of zeal to acquire an inkling of knowledge in this particular field. I now feel that I have successfully eaten, with delight, all of the preparatory knowledge- able food placed before me by you for graduate work in chemistry. The material was sweet to the taste and mellow to the stomach. It was more than a pleasure to have had the oppor- tunity to learn from the 66lVIaster scientist of Oakwood. It was my privilege to share your mind, to drink of the cup of knowledge, and to partake of the bread of science. You taught me that science is the captain and ex- perimentation the practice. I learned my lesson well, but it all originates from you directly or indirectly. I have a love for chemistry that will never die, and I have a dream that some day I might possess that knowl- edge in chemistry that you have and serve humanity faithfully, as you are doing. The greatest contribution one can make is aiding others, and in doing so you have exemplified well the HScientific Attitudev. I must say good-bye while I tread the path that you have trod and face the world that you have faced, how- ever, I have had good preparation from you to accept the challenge. Your grateful student

It is not likely that Books have ever played such an important part in the lives of so many as they do today. The Book is the open sesame to the wells of learning. Presently new skills have been developed that have increased the reading speed and with it a corresponding acceleration in comprehension that makes it possible and pleasurable to read more books . . . gg.-an-null sm, ,...,f Books are keys to wisdom's treasure: Books are gates to lands of pleasure: Books are paths that upward leadg Books are friends, Come let us read. By: EMILIE POULSSON 'F '- . I From the volume of I Love Books by John D. Snider-a voluminous reader of around 600 books a year-are taken the words of a lonely monk, who afterwards became known as the Archbishop of Poictiers. uOur house is empty save only myself and the rats and mice who nibble in solitary hunger. There is no voice in the hall, no tread on the stairs. The clock has stopped . . . the pump creaks no more. But I sit here with no company but books, dipping into dainty honeycombs of literature. All minds in the world,s history find their focus in the library . .
