Amos Nnye0 fflurrin : An Appmiatum O have worked faithfiilly in one ' s chosen profession for forty years is to have attained honorable dis- tinction. The date which marks the completion of such a period is worthy of more than passing com- ment. The acquaintance of the writer with Prof. Currier does not cover the entire period of his Uni- versity association, and young men who returned from the battle field to complete their knowledge of Caesar ' s Commentaries, have the advantage of those who arrived in the early seventies. But the latter knew him at a time when his virile enthusiasm was ex- pressed in the teaching of Latin. If the subject represented in the Middle Ages the medium for conserving learning to the world, it has represented since that time, a standard of intellectual attainment. If it shall in the fu- ture, hold its place only as a part of what a young person must know to be educated, it will in any institution of learning, take something of its vital character from the personality of the teacher. As a teacher, Prof. Currier expected a student to recite a lesson in Latin as an act of mental integrity, an act of social rela- tionship, an act of courteous respect; to enjoy the experience was to respond gladly to such ideals. As a member of the Faculty, he has been a counsellor of dis- cretion and an important advisor for the advancement of the University in method and organization. As acting President during an interregnum, he guided the Institution wisely. As Dean of the College of Liberal Arts, he has been in touch with the activities of all the students, and his per- sonal interest in them individually, some of whom he has known as the children of his former students, has been shown in more than a mere University contact. His attitude has been to allow expansive growth in young people, and to grant them the respon- sibility that goes with it. His well earned honors of affectionate devotion from a large number of successful men and women throughout the country, must testify to his worthiness and nobility of character. With his crown of years and continued vigor, with his wis- dom and influence, he may well say with Leontinus Gorgias, Uihil habeo quod accusem senectutem. VIRGINIA S. BERRYHILL, L. A. ' 77.
