A DEDICATION. 7. CHARLES N. DUBOIS N, EVER before, certainly not in recent years, lias our campus community been so stunned and saddened as it was on August 14, 1951, when death, instantly and without warning, took from us Charles Nelson DuBois, for fourteen years a member of the Department of English. It was partly because he was still young, only forty-one. And it was partly because he was so vipright and outstanding a teacher and man. x t the time of his death he was an associate professor, in charge of the English courses in the Stockbridge School, the University ' s academic extension program, and registration of students in English. His own course in American Poetry was one of the most popular in the Department. He had recently brought into effective operation a calendar for campus activi- ties. His gifts and services were various and gratefully recog- nized by all of us. INIoreover, he had been for several years faculty adviser to the Index. He had helped plan this book. That it should be dedicated to his memoiy is therefore pre-eminently fitting. This is for the record, Init what can never be committed to words is the memory of a vibrant, loyal, resourceful, inde- fatigable associate, respected and loved by all who worked with him, youth ' s hostage to honor in a troubled world. We miss him sorely, l)ut are proud to have known him. — Frank Prentice Rand ...IN MEMORIAM
