edication Jo Dr. liarry Clijton Dyrd W i ' ith absolute fortitude, he guided the school through the treacherous period of the war years and into the expansion of the post-war era; to him, we owe the devel- opment of the various expanding colleges and the construction of an infinite number of buildings; not content with mere physical, visible advancement, he has encouraged the raising of academic standards throughout all the colleges of the University.

With this school progressed; days fled; before any- one could realize it, October changes to November; December and January followed fast. Boxing and the Junior Prom gave way to baseball, lacrosse, the Tri-Delt Sing and May Day. Then came finals, and for some five hundred of us — graduation. These days have been the pleasantest and the most exciting of all our lives. But now they are just memories — lingering mem- ories which are to be cherished as long as we live. We cannot pos- sibly remember all the happen-
