DMKni 19 INDEX29 Twelve years ago another Index was dedicated to Professor Mackimmie, and in that Index, Professor Hasbrouek, perhaps the most revered professor that our campus has ever seen, wrote of him, to him all men are brothers, and his sympathy extends from the student who needs his help to the Italian laborer who has learned to watch for the Professor and to expect his ' buon giorno, a welcome echo from the home country. Alike, all who know Professor Mackimmie honor him as the scholar par excellence, as the friend tried and proven. In the twelve years which have elapsed since this tribute was paid to Professor Mackimmie many things have happened which have firmly implanted his name in the annals of pleasant memories for Aggie undergraduates. His classes are not hours of boredom, or dragging irritating lectures. When he takes charge of a class he seems to have the power of interesting the most indolent in the very stuffi- est of rooms. His courses are not courses in Economics but rather, are summaries of the experience of life. One who studies under Professor Mackimmie learns, not merely the subject being taught, but also an appreciation of the great in art and literature and life. As one student said, If you want to go to Europe and are broke and will be for the rest of your life, take a course in history with Mackim- mie. You ' ll know more about Europe at the end of the course than if you want yourself. And this is representative of student opinion on the entire campus. We have dedicated this Index to Professor Mackimmie because we realize his breadth of outlook; his scholarly attainments; his fascinating personality his knowledge of the unusual; his marvelous memory; his depth of character; his optimistic philosophy; but most of all because he is not only a learned scholar; but also an ideal humanitarian and a student of life. 11
