We are proud to dedicate the 1959 Thoroughbred to the memory of our Dr. Sid- ney Terr, who died on April 20, 1958. Dr. Terr was born in New York City on January 27, 1909. He received his B.A. and M.A. de- grees from Cornell University and his Ph.D. from Ohio State University. Dr. Terr was a member of Phi Beta Kappa and Phi Kappa Phi. As a professor of history at the University of Louisville, Dr. Terr specialized in the sub- jects of French Revolution and Modern Euro- pean History. He acted as Chairman of the Social Science Department, President of the University of Louisville Chapter of the Ameri- can Association of University Professors, and has served on many different committees of the University and the community. Dr. Terr was renowned for starting many of his classes with a philosophical discussion and following it up with a period of questions. This is only one example of the way he in- creased student interest in his subject. He was an avid learner himself and a true teacher for he sparked the desire for knowledge in his students. He was available at almost any hour of the day to help a student with a problem. Because of his wish to aid students in all types of col- lege work and because of his love of the sport, DR. SYDNEY D. TERR Dr. Terr became Coach of the University of Louisville Tennis Team. The outstanding qualities of the man him- self are what made him so loved by his stu- dents, his fellow faculty members, and every- one who met him. Dr. Terr was a brilliant man and a scholar whose thirst for knowledge never ceased. His keen sense of humor, his gentle manner and his desire to teach will keep him forever alive in the hearts of all who were privileged to have known him. 4

DR. PHILIP G. DAVIDSON Dear Graduates of 1959: The years you have spent at the University have been eventful years, and years of decision in your own lives and in that of the University. Since you entered here the hopes and dreams of the students who worked on the bond issue of 1952 have been realized, and Belknap Campus has a new look. The University Li- brary, the University Center, Speed Hall, and the renovation of the older buildings, all have been accomplished during your lifetime as stu- dents here. We have now begun construction of a men's dormitory and are in the midst of a major campaign to build a gymnasium, new research facilities for our medical and dental schools, and to add books and scientific equip- ment to our libraries and laboratories. It is the most important effort the University has ever made to marshall resources for an expanding educational program. 5 In your own lives, too, these have been years of growth and decision. Since you entered here you have laid the basis for your future life and career. Many of you have married, nearly all have found your career, and all of you have received a sound education and matured intel- lectually and spiritually. For both of us the years ahead are equally years of promise and decision. For the .Uni- versity, we must realize that it is not fine buildings and facilities which make a univer- sity. It is rather the quality and character of its faculty and students. You have dedicated this annual to one of the finest teachers this Uni- versity ever had, and all of you throughout your lives will remember and be influenced by the men and women who taught you rather than by the physical surroundings of the campus. Like the University which must keep its edu- cational program growing and strengthening, so you too must build on the education you received here, keeping the tools of your brain sharp and keen, your mind alert and inquiring. On behalf of the Trustees, the staff, and faculty then, I express our happiness at having had you here and join with them in the fond hope that the promise of these years will be realized in your lives and in that of our University. Sincerely, - ,Q,,nf.z,-.- Philip Davidson President
