DEDICATION The great seal of the University is prominently displayed at the base of the Trojan shrine, and its significant message forms the basis for the foundations of SC. The phrase appears in Latin and reads, Pal- man Qui Meruit Ferat or Let Him Bear the Palm Who Merits It. For more than twenty years, Frank Baxter, professor of English, has lived up to this, the highest of all Trojan standards. Moreover, he is a living example of the five trusts endowed to and expected of modern Troy. Because of his faithful works, scholarly mind, skilfulness, courage, and ambition. Doctor Baxter has been selected as our choice for Trojan of the Year and the 1953 El Rodeo is proudly and humbly dedicated to him. Fifty-two American colleges have chosen Baxter as one of the eight outstanding professors in the nation . . . not only for his conscientious explorations in the Shakespearian field, but for his unending service to mankind, education, and the people about him. Doctor Baxter began his endeavor at SC in 1930. He had been schooled in America and in Cambridge, England. He served his country during the first world war. In his 23 years of Troy, he has spread knowledge and good cheer to every corner of the campus. He has staged an annual Christmas reading selecting as his prose such famed writings as the Christmas Carol and Pickwick Papers. The Doctor has 2000 books about Shakespeare and has personally built a miniature replica of the famed Globe Theatre. When Doctor Baxter took part in the dedication of the Troy stone and was reading prose appropriate to the occasion, one could not help but sense the spirit that filled him ... a spirit brought about not only from the deep meaning of what he was reading, but brought about because of the way he inwardly felt about the school that was so much a part of his life. Through the years, great men have come to Troy to leave a never-to-be-forgotten mark in its Hall of Fame. Frank Condie Baxter is one of these men. ' 1
