DEDICATION One of the finest things that can be said of any man is that he exemplifies a philosophy recognized to be beneficial to mankind. Assuredly, Mr. Robert L. Boyd is seen by everyone at Plymouth Teachers College as a man possessing those rare attributes of kindness, devotion, and scholarship. His kindness is evident in his softness of speech and the firm but gentle persuasion he uses on students. His devotion is to the profession of teaching and it is here that students see a man not only teaching but living a set of principles. His scholarship manifests itself in the control he has over his subject matter and his constant effort to add to his already vast accumulation of knowledge. All of these attributes combined might be called a “Philosophy of Education” and as such they can serve as guiding principles for generations of teachers to come. The accumulation of individual decisions that resulted in this dedication emanated from the universal recognition that Mr. Boyd alone has personified the ideals that seem, for the most part, to remain within the pages of textbooks. 3
