Illnrr 'n' Aft I filmtv To Arthur Griliin, Vice-President of our Board of Trustees: When we need sound advice on long range plans of the school, we turn to you for help. When we built Hayden Hall, you were the competent Clerk of the Works. When we purchase real estate for the expansion of dormitory or faculty facilities, your invaluable experience in this field is always available. When we face financial problems, your knowledge and acumen in the subject of banking are an essential factor in any decision. A Life Trustee, you are all that a trustee should be, and more -- wise, patient and loyal. For twenty-seven years of unselfish and vital contribution to the role that Tabor is playing in the increasingly important field of education - we, your fellow trustees, the faculty and students, extend our grateful and heart-felt thanks.

IHEII MATTHEW P. WHITTALL t 0 11 11 illlvmnrmm Matthew P. Whittall served Tabor as a devoted and outstanding trustee for twenty-eight years. He was always known as one who took any respon- sibility seriously. Elected to the Board in 1931, his great love for Marion and his lively interest in the Academy grew steadily. In 1941 he was elected Vice-President of the Board of Trustees and was chosen a Life Trustee in 1942. When Mr. L. LeBaron Dexter was raised to President Emeritus in 1953, Mr. Whittall assumed the presidency pro tempore from June to October of that year. His death in 1959 brought an end to a full and productive life of devoted service, wise generosity, and great gentility.
