DR. HERBERT T. WEBSTER A member of the faculty of the College of Liborai Art in the department of English, Dr. H. T. Webster was made an associate professor in 1950. He came to Temple University in 1938 from the University of Wisconsin where he had roceived his doctor's of philosophy degree. Few were the students who were not awed by his vast store of knowledge in all fields of the arts and sciences. Dr. Webster's intellectuality will be remembered by all who were fortunate in having the experience of journeying through literature with him as a guide. MR. HOWARD CHIVIAN Howard Chivian, director of Temple University's Diamond Band since 1953, died on March 5. He was 35. Chivian, who will be sorely missed by all Temple students, was of immeasurable help in making the band one of the most active organizations on the Temple campus. Under his direction, the Diamond Band made great strides, no small part of which is attributed to Chivian's brilliant services to the group. Temple has lost a truly valuable man. 21
