Qfnuohtinb During the past few months there has passed from our midst a great and good spirit, John E. Goodrich, teacher, scholar, soldier and man of God was touched by the finger of the Almighty and we see him no more. His was a life full of interest: a strenuous life, a life of highest joys and deepest sor- rows, a stern life, yet outsurging with deep and passionate devotion for man and all his perplexing problems. The University of Vermont has loved him for sixty-six wonder- ful years and he in turn has rendered this University a service which will never fade, and in the years to come, whatever hefalls this college of the mountains, the great white soul of John E. Goodrich will he with it to the end. 113
