The Park student of 1953-54, like those before him, has had an invaluable and wonderful ex¬ perience. This is the feeling of your Narva editors, at any rate, and for this reason we have tried to provide for you within these pages a perpetual reminder of the people we all have known, the good times we’ve shared, the places so familiar to us all . . . and behind these more tangible things, the spirit that is Park. This book is for each of you; it is also for Park College, and our sincerest wish is that it will merit the esteem of students, graduates, faculty members and patrons alike . . . your 1954 Tiarva. — 2 —

Jo you, Miss Lyon, we dedicate the 1954 NARVA. It is our way of expressing our sincere appreciation for your almost two score years of outstanding service to Park College. Both as Professor of English and as Chairman of the Division of Humanities, you have unfalteringly maintained high standards, your rich background and perceptive understanding of language and literature, your genuine enthusiasm for your work and for your students, your keen alertness to life as a whole, have been a source of constant inspiration to those who have studied and worked with you. Miss Lyon came to Park College as Instructor in English in 1915, after receiving her degree of Bachelor of Arts from Ripon College in 1912. She was promoted to the rank of Professor in 1921. She spent one year (1922-1923) as Professor of English at Whittier College in California. In 1927 she received the degree of Master of Arts from Columbia University and has also done graduate work at the University of California, the University of Chicago, and at Cambridge Uni¬ versity, England. In addition to studying, she has served on the summer school staffs of several state colleges; she has conducted research on the Tudor Dictionary with the English departmental group at the University of Michigan; and she has contributed a number of important articles to national journals. Miss Lyon has also been consistently active in the general program of the college. She has served on many committees, including the Curriculum Committee, the Academic Council, the Administrative Council, the Publications Committee, and the Committee on Honors Work — a field which she was instrumental in establishing. Her wide range of extra-curricular talents and activi¬ ties — from the culinary to the artistic — is familiar to all who know her. —4—
