TN DEDICATING these pages of the year ' s campus history, the 1924 Makio has chosen to bestow this signal honor on one to whom the Ohio State University is largely in- debted for its present growth and the vision of a still greater institution. Since 1899, Carl E. Steeb, 99, has given constant devotion to the cause of higher learning and as Business Manager of the University for the past several years has safely piloted the school through times of stress, ever fighting for our rightful needs. He has given us a distinguished example of those rare qualities of executive ability, self- forgetful service, and quiet efficiency, which have won for him a place in the hearts of all friends of Ohio State.
