tar-f When death takes one of our number from us, the most reassuring legacy we are left with is our memories of the departed. In those memories, the living may find some solace for the loss of a friend. So it is with those who knew Eric Petee, a Transylvania student who died in an automobile crash late one Saturday afternoon in February, 1974. Eric added much to life at Transylvania. He was a source of both humor and serious thought, a man as capable of enjoying the good times here as he was of engaging in scholarly debate in classes. Though he spent much of his time with a relatively small group of friends, nearly all of the student body knew him. Eric was not enrolled as a student this past quarter, but he was always to be found somewhere on campus, sipping coffee in the student center, perhaps, or sitting beneath a tree, talking with friends. Many teachers, too, speak well of him as both a friend and a student. All students who were here during Spring Quarter of 1973 will remember the first PeopIe's Party, an unofficial, free party which Eric helped to organize and stage. Eric's life was very much centered here at Transylvania University. He had planned to re-enroll for the Spring Quarter, and it is hard, now, to walk the campus grounds without expecting him to quietly appear with a smile and a greeting. For those who knew him, Eric's death is a great loss, and memories of him are treasured prizes. Those of us who knew him will always know himg and, through our remembrances of him, we will take Eric along with us, into life. Alex Krislov
