In Memoriam OMA HERBERT PARKER, JR. To the memory of Oma Herbert Parker, Jr., who—had not the Lord had need of him—would have graduated this year with honors, we offer this loving, nevertheless, inadequate tribute which was inspired by the magnanimous nature of his character. V e loved him because of his individuality, his pleasing personality, his amiable disposition, and “because he first loved us.” We admired him for his natural leadership, his integrity, his exceptional intellect, and his determination of purpose as well as for his athletic abilities and sportsmanship. It is because of these outstanding qualities, among innumerable others, that recollections of him will influence the lives of those who knew and loved him, always. And as his place among us in life was foremost, so will his memory occupy a foremost place in our hearts, remaining a sacred inspiration and a holy trust to us forever.
