Chester Rude Mr. Chester A. Rude died December 7, 1971, after a short illness. He was so much a part of SWIGS- BIE and so very important in its development that we can't yet adjust to being without him, and perhaps we never shall. He was to be Director of the Fourteenth Assembly for Bank Directors in Palm Springs, February 18-21. We did not ask anyone to take his place. To remind the new classes and faculty who may not know, Chet was on board the first Session in 1958 and every year thereafter. He became Mr. Banker to everyone and each year touched the new class with his special magic. He helped cre- ate the Senior Management Case and directed it with Dr. john Kane, and participated in the whole curriculum development with gentle guid- ance in the Planning Committee. Chet was the first to receive a distinguished service award from SWIGSBIE, and only two have been given, and last year received a special citation from the Board. The 1962 Yearbook was dedicated to him. All who came to SWIGSBIE in 1971 will long remember The Evenings with Chet Rude. But somehow we don't feel that SWIGSBIE ever got across to Chet how very important and signifi- cant he was. ln Memoriam Gilbert Stephenson As Mr. Gilbert Stephenson was closing out his illustrious career at the Southwestern Graduate School of Banking, he gave his personal creed for trust business: Beyond The Call of Duty The Trustman, who fulfills his mission, goes far beyond the call of duty. He renders services not required by the terms of the instrument, by the law, nor by the government regula- tions. For him property is only the means to an end. The end is the welfare of human beings. According to his Statement of Prin- ciples he renders not only unexceptionable business and financial service but also equally good personal service to beneficiaries. ln the pursuit of his lifework, he is inspired by the fact that he deals with unpleasant people and difficult problems. lust as the physician deals with the sick, the lawyer with the crim- inal, the educator with the ignorant, and the minister with the sinful, so the trustman deals with the incapacitated, the incompetent, the improvident, the immature, the inexperi- enced, the indifferent, and the imprudent. He does not draw the line between legal duty and voluntary service. When, for example, the beneficiary of a marital trust comes to his desk to discuss the schooling, discipline, and medical or surgical treatment of her children, or her financial or personal problems dissociated from the trust, he does not remind her that the trust is for her exclusive benefit nor say that he does not have time to discuss her personal 'nor her chilclren's problems. ln all the world there is no other businessman who goes the first mile of duty and then goes on the second mile of service as frequently or habitually as the trustman does. Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this: To visit with the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world. Uarnes 1:27J So, nearly 2,000 years ago, spoke one who had the heart of a trustman and would go beyond the call of duty. Those of us who had the pleasure of knowing and working with Mr. Stephenson and his lovely Miss Grace can testify that he not only lived the Trustman's Creed, but he inspired others to live it.

Sm, Dedication Each year the yearbook is dedi- cated to a man who made dis- tinctive and important contrib- utions to the school. Dedica- tion of the yearbook reflects the affection as well as the admiration of the student body. The selection is the choice of the students them- selves, who are the best judges of the quality of performance of the faculty and administra- tion. The 1972 Yearbook is dedi- cated to Mr. Oran Kite. With a sure administrative hand and the deep insight of a practical banker with long years of experience, he redirected the entirety of the commercial banking major and brought to its faculty new members to broaden and deepen the per- spective of the program. His awareness of human needs and responsiveness to them as Chairman of the Commercial Banking major increased the dimension of his contributions to the school. We dedicate the 1972 Yearbook with respect and affection. The Classes of the 1972 Session
