The Class of 1955 wishes to pay special tribute to the memory of a great man whose spirit has long been a major part of the Shippensburg State Teachers College scene. Dr. Earl Wright spent twenty-seven active years making high policy de- cisions, planning and coordinating the college academic program, and acting as friendly advisor to countless numbers of students and alumni. Members of community organizations, such as the Cumberland Valley Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons, Harrisburg Consistory, Zembo Shrine, Shippens- burg Scottish Rite Club, and the Shippensburg Rotary Club will note with sadness the absence of a loyal and enthusiastic member from their ranks. Educational organizations claimed Dr. Wright's time: the Pennsylvania State Education Association, National Education Association, Society for the Advancement of Education, Pennsylvania Academy of Science, Pennsylvania State Teachers College Faculty Association, and Phi Delta Kappa. He held office in the Pennsylvania College Teachers of Education, Pennsylvania College and University Teachers, Pennsylvania Department of Higher Education, and Eastern States Association of Professional Schools for Teachers. Dr. Wright founded and served as counselor of the Epsilon Epsilon Chapter . I twill' A of Kappa Delta Pi, an honorary .V ...., A society in education. c it Dr. Wright's greatest ambition was that the students of the Ship- pensburg State Teachers College should take their places in society as good teachers and outstanding citizens. Concerning this ambition he wrote: Our nation will be per- petuated if each citizen possesses strength of character and purpose, moral stability, and a proper sense of iustice. Perhaps the greatest tribute we can pay to Dr. Earl Wright is recognition of the fact that he lived in accordance with ' 'd l. hls l ees The Dean We Remember
