To Mr. Rust. . . teacher, advisor, and friend, we, the Sen- iors, dedicate our EVERGREEN. Although his unending efforts on our behalf in the production of this book and his tireless and invaluable assistance with our Junior Prom will always be remembered, his sym- pathetic companionship and selfless de- votion to our problems-great or small- have made our Senior year not only a memory of our past, but a treasure to be carried into our futures. me c,iwsf.iQ,5l

We hope and believe you are ready and well-prepared. In order that you may take full advantage of all that potentially lies in store for you, I would speed you on your way with the memorable words of William DeWitt Hyde, the former great president of Bowdoin, on the purpose of a college education : To be at home in all lands and ages, to count nature a familiar acquaintance and art an intimte friend, to gain a standard for the appreciation of other mens work and the criticism of your own, to carry the keys of the world's library in your pocket, and feel its resources behind you in whatever task you undertake, to make hosts of friends among the men of your own age who are to be leaders in all walks of life, to lose yourself in generous enthusiasms and cooperate with others for common ends, to learn manners from students who are gentlemen and form char acter under professors who are Christians-this is the offer of college for four of the best years of your life.
