?amward The yearbook staff of 1962 presents, as its creation, The Moundbuilder. A yearbook is a child, born slowly and in pain. Like the time. it depicts, a yearbook is a transient effort, and another year will give way to the flash of other flash bulbs and, again, a child will come forth. But our 1962 Moundbuilder will live and become timeless in the way any yearbook becomes timeless. It will reach out and catch, suspended in shapeless formetimeeand will give to the passing moments a measure of immortality. For what is a college year if it could be measured by the mathematicianls slide, the Chemist's tube? It is an autumn moon over Christy as the old building presides over the valley, 3 MOOFish castle of another day. And the Ezekiehhe-prophet countenance of Dr. Merrill looming majestically over 30 heanies. The singing of HOn Southwestern as dirty uniforms file off the field. And the serious face of Dean Skinner, who listens to a tale of woe from a tear-lilled face and has heard it all before . . . And the light burning late in a dormitory window . . . Steps covered with ice and a frosty morning on the cedars. These appear and pass as a vapor, but for one fleeting second they have stood still for our photographers, and we hope that in future years the moments will again live for you, the reader and viewer.

He came to Southwestern six years ago, a man rich with a background of expen'ence and re- sponsibility. With a real belief in youth, and dedicated to the task of their education, he did enhance the curriculum of the coilege for one and one half years. Then, in a manner common to men of great worth, he responded, resolutely, to share in answering an oriental plea for edu- cators. In Taipei, on the island of Formosa, he taught the English language and was an aca- demic consultant for Soochow University. Last year he returned from China to head the depart ment of language and literature in our school. Naive Freshmt'n meet. him in the rather im- personal classroom, to realize how much less than perfect were their previous studies in English literature. Others might meet him in the halls, on the walks, or in the auditorium as he brings to us some symbolic words of language arts, To Dr. Miron A. Morrill, in gratitude and with appreciation, we dedicate the 1962 Mound- builder, realizing that, perhaps, it is a wasted thing to proclaim tribute to some men.
