To a Busy Man Who left a major national position as General Secretary for Higher Education of the United Church of Christ to come West to face the test and task of furthering the growth of a small college. Whose wisdom, ability, and optimistic outlook has been instrumental in establishing a program that has contributed greatly to the academic and physical stature of the College and given impetus to long range planning for continued growth. Who has always been willing to accept, without complaint, the lone- liness of leadership in critical times. Who possesses the fortitude to make difficult decisions at times when they must be made regardless of the effects upon him personally. Who has taken the time to act on behalf of individuals in an unseen and unsung manner — doing such small things as securing an overcoat for a needy student to more complex ones such as personally finding financial assistance from outside resources to enable another to make it through. Little is known of these things. Little will be for they remain a part of the silent service of Christian involvement in which he believes. Whose phenomenal drive and resilient spirit has enabled him to re- turn from the depths of serious illness to again serve with constancy a cause he has long championed — excellence in private church-related higher education. For these attributes and many others, we respectfully dedicate this 1966 Yellowstone to Dr. Philip Monroe Widenhouse, third president of Rocky Mountain College.
