Dr. Marvin W. Schlegel aca(tf , No formal poll of the student body was conducted, nor was one needed to designate Dr. Schlegel as the most outstanding member of the faculty. In recog- nition of his many fine qualities, Dr. Schlegel’s selection by The Saint Staff was unanimous. By his daily living, Dr. Schlegel became known and beloved by all of us. He was always interested in the students as individuals and took genuine pleasure in the many associations he formed with them. His material contributions to Saint Helena were many. He sponsored the Current Events Forum and the Great Books Club. He has written a book on the history of Saint Helena and furnished The Saint and SHE with condensations. He participated and assisted many other clubs and student activities. But to those fortunate students who were his pupils, Dr. Schlegel imparted far more than knowledge. By his patience and under- standing, his encouraging spirit and sincere cooperation, he made his classes aware of the more fundamental things that go into the making of an educated man. To all of us, by his genial attitude, his kindness, and his ideals, Dr. Schlegel has been an inspiration. It is a pleasure for The Saint staff to express the esteem in which Dr. Schlegel is held, by the faculty and student body of Saint Helena.
