DEDICATION Often during the course of a college career one encounters persons who are willing to spend time and effort beyond the ordinary requirements in assisting students in their daily problems. There is however another type which by sheer personal magnetism together with an extreme attitude of co-operation wins a special place in the hearts and memories of the students. Mr Cummings has been with us since we entered Plymouth Teachers College in the fall of 1946. He has never failed us when the going seemed to be difficult, but he aided and inspired us to do greater things until new records in many fields of accomplishment were set. Mr Cummings not only gave much direct assistance but was indispensable in making our ideas and wishes known to the administration and faculty; a liaison service without which much of our efforts would have been in vain. To a man who never asked but always gave, we, the class of 1950, dedicate this yearbook. It is but a small measure of our deep appreciation. 6

The President’s Message It has often been said that only changed men can make a changed world. The changing or modification of human behavior constitutes the broad task of education. Is it too much to predict that those who graduate in mid-century and who enter the profession of teaching will see in their time progress through education toward a world in which there is “freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom from want, and freedom from fear?” The alternative is a world of strife, chaos, and despair The race between education and catastrophe is keen. We must make our energies count on the side of education. To all the graduates of the Class of 1950, may I say for the faculty and staff, “Our best wishes go with you.” 7
