DR. R. L. CARTER DR. W. W. WHITE DEDICATIO A dedication to the memory of men of vision and fore- sight, ability and understanding, who brought honor and recognition to the University of Toledo . . .whose lives were given to education, to the promulgation of the ideals of intellectual achievement. We will remember their faces, full of enthusiasm and a particular, special interest in us as students of the University, Faces of strong, deep character that com- manded respect, yet radiated friendliness. - One graduated from the University and then went on to serve it to a full capacity, showing interest in every phase of college life, from administration to athletics. The other brought to the University his knowledge of campus life, and shared it with other educators for a final betterment of the institution. One watched his university being built anew and later lived to see a dream become a reality during the period after the war when, under his administration, a great inHux of students came to a rapidly expanding uni- versity. The other had dreams too, which, though he lived not to see them, are beginning to become tangible to those for whom he planned most pertinently. Dk Sk Pk Two men whose backgrounds differed, yet whose con- cern for the University gave them much in common, have added much to the richness and depth of our campus life. Their unchanging principles contrasted with the surg- ing, changing youth under their guidance, a youth that depended on these same principles. We dedicate this yearbook, to them. And we dedicate our minds to our own individual memories of these men. I
