DEDICATION William P. Firth, M.A., D.Sc., 1867-1934 . . AFTER A LINGERING ILLNESS of three years' duration there passed away on Octoa ber 12, 1934, one whose whole life was interwoven with the history of Pickering College for a period of over forty years-Dr. William P. Firth. Born in Bradford, England, in 1367, he came to Pickering College as a young man after spending two years in the Friends' School at Union Springs, New York. From 1892 until 1917 the school prospered under his leadership. This period witnessed the removal of the school from the village of Pickering and the inauguf ration of its work in our present admirable surroundings. While building operations were in progress following the disastrous fire of 1905, Dr. Firth completed his work for the D.Sc. degree at Queens University and spent a year there as a Fellow in Chemistry and another as lecturer in the same subject. Although his training was in science, he maintained a broad and humane inf terest, not only in education but in much wider fields outside and particularly in the work of the Society of Friends in Canada. The refopening of the school after a lapse of almost ten years gave him an opportunity to express his continued interest in education. The present character of the school and its physical plant owes much to his keen judgment and deep interest. His leadership and the consecrated service of himself and Mrs. Firth were acknowledged when our new junior Residence building was opened in 1931 and named Firth House. To Mrs. Firth, whose keen interest in the progress of the school continues, there is extended our deepest sympathy. In memory of one whose name will forever be associated with Pickering College, this volume is most respectfully dedicated. -. ,,
