The President’s Message If there is one thing that has been impressed upon us in recent years, it is that the powerful force of education is the only effective agency for modifying the actions of peoples and for developing basic standards and values. The lives we will lead will be determined in large part by the programs of the schools in which we will serve. I am sure that the members of the Class of 1949 enter the teaching profession fully aware of the measure of responsibility thrust upon them and cognizant of their opportunities to make their lives count in the lives of the students whom they will serve.

In Memorium For more than fifty years, Dr. Ernest Leroy Silver served public education in New Hampshire as teacher, principal, superintendent, and college president. During his thirty-five years as president of Plymouth Teachers College, more than twenty-five hundred young people completed work preparing them for teaching. The contribution they have made to education in New Hampshire is inestimable. Dr. Silver's work was widely recognized. In 1924, the degree of Doctor of Pedagogy was awarded him by his alma mater, Dartmouth College, in tribute to the quality and magnitude of his educational leadership. At the time of the seventy-fifth anniversary of the college, hundreds of alumni gathered to honor the man whose purpose and far-sightedness have been responsible for the development of Plymouth Teachers College to an institution of national standing. When Dr. Silver retired in 1946, the State Board of Education honored him by naming him president-emeritus. Dr. Silver served community and state as member of the General Court. As chairman of the Educational Committee of the House, he was instrumental in drafting far-sighted legislation in behalf of New Hampshire’s public schools. In recognition of his achievements as educator and statesman, the State Board of Education awarded him a citation for outstanding educational leadership at the Plymouth Teachers College Commencement in 1947. In St. Paul’s Cathedral, London, there is an inscription in tribute to Sir Christopher Wren: “If you would see his monument, look around.” This tribute is equally appropriate for our Dr. Silver: “If you would sec his monument, look around.” 5 HOWARD R. JONES
