DOCTOR JAMES DUGAN Testimonial to Dr. James Dugan Writing words of farewell is usually an unhappy task, but this tribute is not of that type; rather it is a happy duty for us of the Senior Class to put into words what we have felt in our hearts for the past four years. We have always found in you a combination of fatherly understanding and strength of character that makes you truly a Christian Gentleman. We thank you for treating us as individuals and adults and for giving to us that feeling of equality that you have so generously bestowed on all through the fullness of your heart. We of the Senior Class, who are so rightfully proud of Lowell as a college, are equally proud of you as our President, benefactor, and friend. If we are able to bring into our own lives and into our teaching some small part of the fine example you have set for all to follow, we shall indeed be thankful; for your manner and philosophy of life shall always remain as a silent tribute to you.

DEAN MARGUERITE GOURVILLE With me as pilot ye men control your anxieties, under my guidance let ship and crew run straight. ' Dean ' s Message We are living in a day of ocean liners and of D-C-4 ' s that fly from continent to continent and yet you have chosen for the theme of your book, The Clipper Ship Era. Could it be that you are attempting to take us back in time? Could you be believing that there are still worlds to explore? Could it be that you are a little fearful of the great unknown as were the Skippers of the Clippers? If this is so, just remember that you are all vessels with fine lines, with tall masts and large sail ing areas. You were built for fast sailing as were all true Clipper Ships. Bon Voyage !

PROFESSOR MARY O ' ROURKE Tribute to Professor Mary O ' Rourke After five years of service as head of the Language Arts Department at the State Teachers College in Lowell, Professor Mary O ' Rourke resigned in order to accept a more responsible position as Supervisor of Elementary Education for Massachusetts. Professor O ' Rourke is recognized as an authority in her field, and it is a great loss for Lowell Teachers College to have her go. The faculty and students content themselves with this thought, The reward of duty is the power to fill another. [9]
