Dedication to Two Leaders JOHN M. BLAKE Through perseverance and a strong sense of dedica- tion, JOHN M. BLAKE, an exceptional organizer and dynamic administrator, has been instrumental in ex- panding the curriculum of the University of Maine in Portland. Prior to the merger of Portland University into the University of Maine, Mr. Blake built a strong curriculum at the Portland University College of Business Adminis- tration. In addition to administerng that college, he also served as Acting Dean of the Portland University Law School during the period following the untimeiy death of Dean Newman. After the merger with the University of Maine, Mr. Blake was appointed Special Assistant to President Elliott so that the day and evening students of the former Portland University might enjoy a smooth transition into the expanded program of the University of Maine in Portland. New Director of Continuing Education for the Uni- versity of Maine in Portiand, Mr. Blake :is rapidly strengthening and expanding the many phases of adult education at the Portland Campus. Through his eEorts. more than seven hundred and fifty parttime students are already enrolled in the evening and Saturday courses, most of which lead to standard degrees oEered by the University of Maine. For his achievements as a modem pioneer in the held of education in Maine, the members of the Senior Class of the Undergraduate Division offer this tribute of dedication.

r Whom We Are Proud to Honor DR. ARTHUR C. PULLING The University of Maine was most fortunate last sum- mer to obtain a scholar of international reputation as its Law Librarian, DR. ARTHUR C. PULLING. Dr. Pullingts long and distinguished career in library work, which began at Harvard Law School in 1907, has included thirty years as Librarian of the University of Minnesota Law School, eleven years as Director of the Harvard Law Library, and nine years as Law Librarian 9f Villanova University. His achievements at those institutions have won him international recognition and established him as a most eminent builder of law libraries. Dr. Pullinghs insight into library needs, his great BOWIedge, tact, and good judgment, his wide acquaint- ance among librarians, lawyers, and publishers, and his technical skill are now in the service of the University of Maine and its new School of Law in Portland. In the few months that he has been in Portland, the faculty and students of the School of Law have come to know Dr. Pulling as one who enjoys thoroughly the performance of his duties. His enthusiasm and his strong faith in the future of the University of Maine in Portland make him an inspiring coileague and render most fitting these words of formal dedication. gavwgf Tiemfg, Dean, School of Law
