As a member of the Class of 1932, he was Valedictorian, President of the Medusa, and a member of Phi Beta Kappa. His accomplish- ments as president could not be confined to one paragraph. The construction of Elton Hall, Memorial ,Field House, and the new library, together with innumerable other things have marked his administration as one of the most fruitful in the college's history. But more than these material successes, he was a man whom the students could respect and take pride in. The friendly, always- grinning man we called PreXy on the walk had something about him which personified success. With his inordinate way with people, he will certainly succeed as President of the New York Stock Exchange. His future presence on the Trinity Board of Trustees will indeed be a valued one. We respectfully dedicate this volume, then, to one of Trinity's most distinguished alumni, Keith Funston, Class of '32 and '51, . 'f'r5 f 'P P '2 .,,,t,4Q,? , ,XA V ffm 6, ., 9- Wcwf, ,fy

Biss as he was affection-' ately known to his students, was more than an instructor to them-he was a tradition. His inspir- ingly spirited teaching of the search for scientific truth gave to men in his courses an intangible something which led them to become better doctors and biologists, The sparkle in his eyes and the enthusiasm in his voice as he lectured spread to his students and each man Worked a little harder to master the material. His death leaves a void that can never be filled. Professor Bangs came to Trinity in 1926 after serving previously as an instructor in the German departments at Colgate University and Williams College. Twenty-five college classes were graduated during the years in which Dr. Bangs' name became synonymous with the subject he taught in the minds of Trinity students. None of his former stu- dents will maintain that he was an easy taskmaster nor will they fail to appreciate the benefits that they derived from his meticulous insistence on high standards in the classroom. We shall long remember his dry Yankee humor, his store of amusing anecdotes, his love for the German lan- guage, his impatience With carelessness and indolence and, above all, his kindly Willingness to give freely of his time and counsel to students Who came to him with their problems. The Class of 1952 ventures to speak for its predecessors and for the student body in expressing deep regret at the loss of a respected and Well-loved teacher, scholar, and friend.
