RALPH V. BURNS DEAN CHARLES A. WILLSON M. IRENE THOMPSON IN MIEMGIRIAM The removal of Dean Charles A. Willson from our midst during his prime, when he was best fitted to render constructive and efficient service to the institution and its program, make his passing an untimely and serious loss. He was an ardent and helpful inHuence in the devel- opment of the University, particularly in the department of agriculture. Dean Willson was an honorable, a capable, and a practical human being. In his departure the University loses a true leader. The student body was deeply moved by the accidents that caused the loss of Ralph V. Burns and M. Irene Thompson. Ralph, a Maryville boy, had transferred here into our College of Liberal Arts, and Irene, living in Watertown, had transferred here to our college of Home Economics. Both of these students, being in school for only a portion of this year, had made many friendships and had definitely established themselves among the students. 1211

DEAN L. R. HESLER COLLEGE OF LIBERAL ARTS Man,s first duty to his fellows is his own education. If one is to play his role in society he must hold a broad and a sympathetic understanding of man and of nature. Such comprehension can be had only through onels own intellectual efforts. Man is interested in earning a living, but he is also concerned with the quality of that living. Onels existence must give satisfaction, which is greatest when one is in possession of a sympathetic understanding of other men. Humanity is ever active in political, social, economic, and spiritual philosophies and practices. These matters of thought and conduct of the past furnish a basis for judging what may today be best for humanity. It is the clear purpose of the College of Liberal Arts to search into the reason and the nature of these things. Significant it is that men have clamorecl always for those intellectual enrichments which come from the poet and the scientist. Under the instruction of the College of Liberal Arts faculty, operating in an atmosphere of human endeavor, all students are invited to join in the happy pursuit of intellectual and emotional ideals.
