. . . ISebication . . . HE Students of 1942 were profoundly grieved by the great loss to the College and his friends in the death of David Dic Slater. We of J 942 join with the students of many past years in sorrow and remembrance, ar d we dedicate our Tear Boo to his memory in lasting affection. Mr. Slater s con- tribution to the musical life of the College can never be adequately measured — a beloved teacher, a scholarly musician, and a constant friend, Mr. Slater gave to the College the influence of a mind of distinguished endowments and a heart of un- failing indness.

The Tear Boo goes forward again in the midst of war. The war is never very far from our thoughts. It engrosses our interest and attention and one cannot avoid It even m a foreword. To those who go out into such a world the old funda- mental qualities of courage, faith and hojDe, always necessary, are now supremely needed. The three are mdissoluhly pined together and, faith perhaps is the foundation of the other two. Faith in the moral nature of the Universe, — that, m spite of temporary success, evil cannot ir. tlie long run triumph. Faith m God, — that His purpose for mankind ivill eventu- ally be realized. And, because of faith, courage to face life and whatever it may bring to us in the way of duty, with steadfast hope. Faith and hope tal e long views. They loo beyond the unhappy present to a hapbier future, to that city which hath foundations whose builder and ma}{er is God. May the experiences of the year rww ended, which this Tear Boo chronicles, have deepened m us all these three thmgs, faith, courage and hope. C. R. Carscallen
