We dedicate the 1953 Meletean to Dr. Chalmcr Davee, who has been the River Falls member of the Board of Regents of State Colleges since 1945. The first regent to suggest the liberal arts degree and the change of name to Wisconsin State Colleges, Dr. Davee also has been responsible for securing a good share of the substantial college building program for River Falls. When the Board of Regents unanimously accepted a resolution that the new library be named “The Chalmer Davee Library”, President E. H. Klcinpcll wrote Dr. Davee: “I hope it recognizes in some small way what you have done for the college at River Falls. It is my firm conviction, and one shared by the faculty, that you have attributed much to the stature of higher education in Wisconsin in general and to this college in particular.” We hope that by dedicating the 1953 Meletean to Dr. Davee we may express in another small way our appreciation for what Dr. Davee has done for River Falls and for us, the student body.
