TARIN! P. SINHA Born in India . . . educated at the Hindu University, Benares . . . the Uni- versity of London . . . Graduate Institute of International Studies, Geneva . . . Michigan . . . Chicago . . . personal friend of Gandhi, of Tagore, A. Fenner Brockway . . . officer. Opium Section, Secretariat, League of Na- tions . . . Manchester Guardian . . . British Independent Labour Party . . . teacher of economics and political science at Roosevelt College . . . died of a cerebral hemorrhage December 2, 1946, while teaching a class. These are official reasons for remembering him. These are titles to orient those of our friends who never met Mr. Sinha. But it is not to Tarini P. Sinha's memory that we make this dedication. His unique faculty for involving himself with each of our lives makes it impossible for us to sepa- rate the when he was alive from the when he was dead. We still expect him to encounter us accidentally in the corridor just at the moment when we reluctantly admit to ourselves that we cannot afford supper. He has some- thing to talk about, he says, and would we do him the honor. And he always knows which ones we are. Or watch him try to hide his sheepishness as he confesses that last night he con- soled a lady whose son was killed in Germany by telling her of the glories for which her son died. Hear him forcefully denounce injustice. When we introduced him as one of our favorite teachers he merely said, with that accent which knows many languages but remains devoted to the mother tongue, I wish you would have said, 'This is Mr. Sinha, one of my dearest friends'. — ETHEL KOTAL
