We, the graduation class, wish to, humbly and sincerely, dedicate this, our yearbook to Dr. Gay- lord E. Estabrook, the man who has advised, befriended and, on occasions, consoled us. With- out his mature guidance, his excellent advice, and his unlimited patience with us, the impatient youths of a breath-taking age, this class would not have been as successful as it was, in climbing -. , , , the ladder of knowledge. ClCCllCRtlOIl ' st l ook received his B.S. degree at Pur- due University in 1921. He continued his educa- tion at Ohio State University, where he was an Assistant in Chemistry from 1921-1922, in which year he acquired his M.S. From 1922-1924, Dr. Estabrook served as an Instructor in Physics at Georgia Tech, and was Assistant Professor in Physics from 1924-1928. Dr. Estabrook then re- sumed his studies, as a graduate student, at Johns Hopkins University, from 1928-1930, after which he became Assistant in Physics at the Uni- versity of Pittsburgh, at which school he was awarded his Ph.D. in Physics in 1932. From 1933-1936 he was associated with the Maryland Academy of Sciences. Dr. Estabrook came to the University of Maryland in 1937 and served as an Instructor in Physics until 1939, when he became Assistant Professor. In 1947 he was pro- moted to Associate Professor of Physics. In 1950, Dr. Estabrook was made Professor of Physics at the University of Maryland, the posi- tion he now holds. Dr. Estabrook is a member of the American Physical Society, the Association of Physics Teachers, and Sigma Xi, an honorary scientific organization. Dr. Estabrook has not only provided us with a scientific background, but he has, by his friend- ly and pleasant manner, removed the formal stu- dent-teacher relationship that existed in the classroom and enabled us to talk to him as a friend. His words of advice will remain with us long after our graduation day. To you. Dr. Estabrook, we express our heart- felt thanks and eternal gratitude. We will re- member you al ways.
