Currp tarr li itk ' ' ERTAINLY it is an appropriate time to dedicate the Index to Curry. The - New Physical Education Building will also be dedicated this year, and the New Physical Education Building project was brought to its successful culmina- tion by his persistent and untiring efforts. The business depression alone might have defeated someone other than Professor Hicks in this campaign for a new home for the Physical Education Department, housed since the eighties in the old drill hall which was built for military purposes in the days of dumb-bells and no heat. As has already been suggested, the dedication spirit may well continue until the new building is formally presented to the college as Hicks Hall. A dream come true! Curry worked for three years in the actual realization of twenty years of planning. He met every conceivable obstacle. Without the use of pressure, he carried through a successful financial campaign, at the same time creating new friends throughout the Commonwealth for himself and for the college. His meticulous attention to detail has made it possible to get the most for the money and to make the New Building modern to the last word. Alumni field, the result of another of Curry ' s dreams, and the New Building will stand for years as tributes to him; but many will consider the plane on which, as General Manager, he has conducted athletics to be his greatest con- tribution. The freshman rule, the transfer rule, strict eligibility, good sports- manship, and amateurism have all been fostered under Curry ' s regime. As head of athletics and physical education at M. A. C, he has held many positions of trust and responsibility, and has made many outstanding contribu- tions, but it is the man, himself whom we think of mostly. Can ' t you see him waddling across the campus with his hat pulled down over his eyes and that miserable pipe stuck out at a determined angle? He has a smile for everybody and is a friend to everybody, but at the same time, woe be unto anyone who tries to welcome-rug him. Many an alumnus remembers the helping hand and sound advice that Curry gave him as an undergraduate, whether on questions of health, study, work, athletics, or which girl to take to the prom. He is loyal, hardworking, and generous to a fault. He is a dreamer of dreams and a doer of deeds, and the Inde.x honors itself in honoring him. H. M. GORE
