dedication dr. louise dudley a college is more than fine buildings and semester credits, more than budgets and committees, more than books and test tubes, for a college to exist there must be minds proposing problems to the laboratory, minds stabbing the classroom silence with dagger definitions, minds feeding upon the rows of books endlessly asking. more than bricks and glass, a college is a community of thinking minds. to make this definition of a college more than a beguiling phrase has been the thirty-five year endeavor of dr. louise dudley. her name, synonymous with humanities at Stephens, has come to stand for vigor in teaching, for broad scholarship, for patience and humor, for intellectual adventure, to watch her work in the classroom is to witness the act of tliinking in public. therefore not for her honors or her years do we dedicate this book to her. not for her kindness, her friendliness, it is rather for her dedication to thought that we in turn dedicate, committing ourselves thereby to the high ideal in education which she leaves us as a legacy and a challenge.
