In Memoriam 1 WILLIAM H. COWELL HE death of William H. Cowell on August 28, 1940, brought to a close a coaching career of twenty-four years devoted to the progress of athletics at the Uni- versity of New Hampshire. A graduate of the University of Kansas in 19lU, he was appointed professor and director of physical educa- tion and athletics at the University in l9l5. ln this posi- tion he took the helm for all New Hampshire activities, and due to his expert piloting, we undergraduates can boast of an institution which successfully supports ten major sports. For his excellent work in football due to his integrity as a coach: for the honor which he has brought to the University due to his capabilities shown among coaches of the country: and for the high standard upon which New Hampshire athletics now rest because of his vision, the 1942 GRANITE extends to the late William H. Cowell the true admiration of the entire student body. DR. ORMOND R. BUTLER OCTOR BUTLER'S passing ended almost thirty years of loyal service to the University of New Hampshire. We honor him as a true scientist. His students knew him as a man who always sought and recognized genuine scholarship. His kindliness made his contacts with both students and faculty of the friendliest sort. Doctor Butler's conversation proved his education of the widest scope, while his love of fine music was an indication of his earnest devotion to a high philosophy of life. The memory of Doctor Butler will endure in the heart of the University he served so well. FRED L. WENTWORTH HE death of Fred L. Wentworth on March l, 1941, ended twenty years of active work as manager of the University Bookstore. In this capacity his efficiency and pleasing personality were reflected. Thus it is through his untiring efforts that his name will always be connected with the University Bookstore. IOHN C. KENDALL HE death of lohn C. Kendall on March 16, brought to a conclusion the active services of a great agriculturalist and worker, but the many contributions of his lifetime live on. As director of the General Extension Service of the Univer- sity of New Hampshire from its beginning in l9l l to his death, he saw it become an institution with a staff of nearly seventy-five, and with the appreciative backing of the entire state. The story of his leadership of the Experiment Station is another story of long duration and success. Director of both the Experiment Station and Extension Service, Mr. Kendall became the best known agricultural leader in New Hampshire, and it is largely through his efforts that the conditions in many communities were ameliorated. His associates knew him as a great man and a hard worker, and it is with thanks and admiration that the University of New Hampshire honors his name.
