PROFESSORIAL ADMONITION We must escape the tyranny of time, Nor think that first is therefore earliest. They are myopic guides who seek the prime Amid the dust of some out-moded quest- The stirring of a cell, a quivering nerve, A dendrite groping eyeless in the f1esh, A chromosome too subtle to observe, A cortex where pale stimuli enmesh. Not there the answer to the ancient wonder: Look rather to eternity and know Spirit, that takes no force of here or yonder, That reckons not of now or long ago. Seek unabashed, within the a priori, The reason and the grandeur and the glory. DONALD C. BABCOCK, in For Those I Taught under title, For a Class Studying Aristotle There is a door marked Philosophy Department in Murkland Lobby. Under that there is the name of one man, Donald C. Babcock. Prof. Babcock has been the University's Philosophy Department and an integral part ofthe Durham scene since he first came here in 1918. Poet as well as Philosopher, his classes have inspired thousands of New Hampshire students in the years that he has been here. To him we affectionately dedicate this 1955 GRANITE.
