DEDICATION THE FACULTY... CORNERSTONE OF A GREAT UNIVERSITY Many thing arc necessary for the functioning of a modern university. Buildings, books, equipment, students—all are intricate parts of the mechanisms that constantly turn in the processes of education. Yet, integral to the whole scheme of a university is its faculty. Gathered together in the several buildings of this University are men who bring knowledge of all lands, of all languages, of all times. Gathered together are men who bring a record of achievement in every field. The lecturer freshmen hear at eight-thirty every morning is the author of a comprehensive world history; the professor at the head of the round table in the Polish room has been honored in the court of Spain and throughout Latin America; the teacher of Shakespeare scholars listens intently to a sophomore's halting attempt to define his interpretation; the jovial man leaning on the lecturn has seen his by-line above the biggest news stories of his time. . . . It is to these men—the faculty—all of whom have achieved, some of whom have known fame, that this book is dedicated. For these men the desire to learn has never ceased. The inscription above the iron gates to the Commons Room is as true of these teachers as it is of the students who come to be taught by them. Here is eternal spring; for you the very stars of heaven arc new.” 4
