Other executives of less gigantic stature, in mind and soul as well as body, take pride in an efficient oihce routine, a clean desk and a bustling air of pseuddactivity. For twentyflive years the door to his office has been open and through it has passed professor, instructor, alumnus, or someone who has turned out to be a bore or nuisance, to be greeted with courtesy, sympathy, patience and wisdom, and a cloud of pipe smoke. I fancy that the pile of papers, letters, reports and advertisements of antique books on his desk has remained at about the same level for twentyffour years. It must have taken at least a year to accumulate the original foundation and it has defied the eH'orts of annihilation of wellfintentioned secretaries, the assistant and the charwomen. This pile has deep significance. No signed document ever emerges from his office in the white heat of passion but only after a proper period of seasoning in that pile on his desk or after a more rapid ripening by the experienced intellectual processes of a naturally pacific mind, That pile may have influenced his conversation for one retreats from his office before a barrage of impetuous half considered phrases. The diamond of Dean Pepper's character has many facets. All of you know of his interest in medical history, the migration of birds and the gentle art of angling. Only a few of you know of his knowledge of anthropology, his resources as a practical naturalist, his love of true art, music, bibliography and his profound yet simple philosof phy of life and human nature. To few men is it given to lead such a useful, well' rounded, happy life and to influence so many with the example of the homely virtues of integrity, simplicity and innate friendliness. ADMI I llr.
