THOMAS N. BARROWS Hn iSIrmanam The late Doctor Thomas N. Barrows spent his entire life in the field of education. The excellent calibre of his work is seen by the many fine institutions to which he contributed so much of himself. Having attended the University of California and having accomplished graduate work at Columbia University for his Master ' s Degree, he held positions as Headmaster of Woodmere Academy on Long Island, as Dean and President of Lawrence College in Wisconsin, as director of the Commission on Accred- itation of Service Experiences for the American Council on Education, as Director of University Extension at Berkeley, and finally as Director of Guidance at R.L.S. After his retirement from his position in Berkeley, he moved to Pebble Beach, where R.L.S. was fortunate to acquire his services. Dr. Barrows entered the faculty of R.L.S. at the end of 1957. Immediately his excellence in the field of guidance helped to stabilize the school in its early years. Through his experience as an administrator, he was an invaluable addition to R.L.S. His devotion to an interest in the students created an atmosphere of respect and admiration for him. He instilled a desire for learning within every boy, and he be- came a personal friend of every student. Doctor Barrows co-ordinated all of the aca- demic endeavours. However, he gave most of his time and attention to the seniors, offering them advice on all aspects of their academic life. He also gave them an insight into the future in an effort to prepare them for their careers. It was both an honor and a privilege to have him as a member of the faculty. In remembrance of his inestimable contribution to the Robert Louis Stevenson School, we the seniors respectfully dedicate the 1963 SPYGLASS to his memory.
