In Memoriam The loss resulting from the deaths of three STUDENTS WHO LOST THEIR LIVES IN SEPARATE AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENTS WAS DEEPLY FELT BY EVERYONE AT THE COLLEGE. THIS PAGE IS DEDICATED TO THEIR MEMORY. Russell Radke, a freshman during the 1959-60 SCHOOL YEAR, FROM DODGE CENTER, MINNESOTA, DIED July 18, 1960, as a result of injuries received in an ACCIDENT NEAR ROCHESTER, MINNESOTA, MAY 21, i960. Dennis Wollen, freshman from River Falls, was KILLED IN AN ACCIDENT NEAR SPRING VALLEY SEPTEMBER l6. i960. Henry Marson, freshman from Hudson, died in an ACCIDENT NEAR RlVER FALLS JANUARY 13, 1961. None but those shadowed by death’s approach are suffered to know that death is a blessing; the gods conceal this from those who have life before them, in order that they may go on living.

Well, here we are back in the Student Center. Our tour is over. What is a college? We still don’t know. What is our college. River Falls? Perhaps you have an idea. However, no one can describe a college wiith pictures of buildings or even pictures of people. As a student you become a part of it and realize that it is impossible to photograph some of the things that make River Falls unique: the spirit of the student body, the warmth and genuineness of the student — faculty relationship; the friendliness of the college community in general. We suppose it’s the reality of these intangibles that help a growing physical plant, faculty, and student body make River Falls what a college should be.
