IN - .'- l.-r DEAN FRANCIS HAGAR SQUIRE In the spring of last year, the University of Delaware was shocked to hear of the sudden death of Dean Francis Hagar Squire. Dean Squire was on leave of absence in England doing research. The realization that his death would result in the absence of his distinguished character and personality from the campus made his passing sadder and more difficult to accept. Dean Squire was born at Westfield, Massachusetts in 1902. He gradu- ated from Yale in 1925 with a Bachelor of Arts degree, and in 1935 from the same university received a Doctor's degree in philosophy. He first came fo the University of Delaware in 1927 as an instructor in history; in subsequent years he became departmental chairman. Throughout the years, he won the affection and esteem of his students and colleagues by his honesty and integrity. Barly in 1943, he enlisted in the United States Maval Reserve and for two and a half years he served with the Naval Aviation Training Command. Upon his release from active duty in 1945, he held the rank of Lieutenant Commander. He returned to the Universi? in 1945 and was appointed Dean of the School of Arts and Science and Dean of the University. He held these positions until the time of his death. The University of Delaware will always remember Dean Squire as a man who unselfishly gave his fime in an effort to understand and to help his students and all those who sought his advice. The University of Delaware will not forget a truly fine man, Dean Francis Hagar Squire. e MEMORIAM
