i ' Ht z, jL:y ' i I -. A hr. y . t .i . : Mi D E D I c A T I o N y Every year a new Mirage is published at the University of New Mexico. Every year that new Mirage is dedicated to a new per- son. It was a difficult task — that of selecting one to whom this Mirage was to be dedi- cated. The task was difficult because this book could have been dedicated to any one of a number of people connected with the University, because of the richness of the endeavors and successfulness in their chosen fields — some of them famous, some men of letters, some scholars, some interesting and kind people, some just workers or assistants. The Mirage asked for advice; questioned students and faculty, listened gladly to each suggestion. But, before decision deadline time neared, it had already been decided. There could be no other way. Over in the University Library behind the reference desk was a little, spry, silver haired lady whose sincere interest in the problems of each individual composing a greatly augmented student body had not abated one whit. Over in the library in the north wing was a little lady whose smiling countenance and whose twinkling eyes accompanied that helpful bit of information and eased tlie load and the care and the worry that a term paper or another especially difficult problem was causing. Over in the library was the lady whose constant and faithful service had gone rela- tively unnoticed. There had been no blaring headlines for her, no public acclaim. It is, then, to Miss Ruth Russell, kind, patient, ever cheerful, always helpful, her keen sense of humor imdinted by over twenty-five years of service in the University Library; that this book, the 1947 Mirage, is sincerely and gratefully dedicated. i I P.igc ten
