D ED I CAT (9 RICHARD CLARKE FOSTER.. Who, though he has guided the destinies of the Cap- stone for little more than a year as its president, has completely won the respect and affections of the Student Body and the Faculty through his convincing display of those qualities that mark a man as both a wise and far-seeing leader, and a sincere and friendly counselor, this forty-sixth volume of the Corolla is dedicated in deep appreciation of what he has accom- plished and in happy anticipation of what he will ac- complish in the future.

h MEMDRIAM In all the vast University communitY, only one death, fewer than in many years, was recorded during the fiscal year. But the pleasure that should be ours in recording this unusual and cheering note is drastically lessened by the fact that the lone death was that of Rosure Stephens, 15, of Dixon Mills, Alabama, the youngest stu- dent in school. Between the time of his enroll- ment in the Freshman Class in September and his death of infantile paralysis in March. Rosure had become a symbol of the best there is in col- lege life. Only fourteen when he registered and the smallest boy physically on the campus, he attracted widespread attention and editorial comment not only because of his youth but be- cause he entered the University with only fifteen dollars for expenses. First, in order to make his way, he sold apples and candy in dormitories and boarding houses. Then he was taken into a professor ' s home. An excellent student, he had entered the University with an all A record; his college grades also were excellent. To the memory of brave, lovable Rosure Stephens, this page of The Corolla is affectionately dedicated.
