A valued member of the University faculty since 1927, Dr. Loyd Spencer Tireman, Professor of Education, Chairman of the Department of Elementary Education, died on October 25, 1959, after an illness of several weeks. Dr. Tireman was a great teacheraa dedicated and untiring llprofessor of what he believed to be right. Those who knew him best feel sure he would like to be remembered most as a teacher-for just the same reason, perhaps, as Thomas Jefferson, author of the Declaration of Independence, wanted to be re membered first of all as the founder of the University of Virginia. Dr. Tiremans inHuence was known not only in Iowa, where he received his PhD. degree from the University of Iowa, and in New Mexico, but also in several foreign countries where he was sent on educational missions by the government. W ith his extended travel, service, and study-in XVales, Belgium, Switz- erland, and Luxembourg as early as 1932; later in Bolivia, Brazil, Thailand, and Jordan; and in Hawaii as late as 1958-416 was indeed a Citizen of the world, with a sympathy and understand- ing of the problems of education in many lands. Much of Dr. Tiremaifs work in New Mexico dealt with the teaching of English to the Spanish-speaking child, and he wrote several books and many articles on the subject. Also among his publications was the Mesaland Seriesaeight excellent books for children about animals of the desert. ..9 Dr. Loyd Spencer Tireman Students and teachers all over this land were inHu- enced by Dr. Tireman-either directly as students in his Classes, or indirectly as readers of his books and articles. He always had time to offer a word of help and encouragement to the beginning teacher or discouraged student. To the bewildered freshman he oHcred a per- sonal interest, mucheneeded to one unused to the llbusyness and impersonality of a large university. The aHection and respect in which he was held by his colleagues cannot be adequately described in words, but these colleagues will carry in their hearts the pleas- ant memories they have of him. His keen insight, his , scintillating humor, and his power to rise to the occa- sion when necessary will not soon be forgotten. To a man of great integrity and strength of character, a faculty member of whom the University of New Mex- ico can be justly proud, and a man who devoted his life to education, Loyd S. Tireman, we DEDICATE the 1960 MIRAGE. HODCIN HALL, oldest building on UNM campus houses the College of Education,
