Here at Pacific we have many cherished traditions and among these was one living, personal tra- dition, Chancellor Tully Cleon Knoles. He had been so much a part of our campus, our future here, that his familiar figure represented the best of all those fine things for which the College of the Pacific has stood and for which it will continue to stand. Perhaps Dr. Knoles was more of a tradition for us because while we all knew him, few of us knew him as well as our parents and others did when they attended Pacific during the years l9l 9 to l946. He was a quiet man but deep as only quiet people can be. At the same time his voice was heard through the land on all topics of public interest or in the public eye. For years Dr. Knoles conducted the World Today course required for all students. Here for the first time many former stu- dents realized the importance of every day happenings in the shaping of future events while at the same time this man of penetrating wisdom traced the events of the past which brought us to the events of the day. Dr. Knoles always was interested in the students of the College of the Pacific as he was also keenly in- terested in students wherever they might be. His was a familiar figure on the Pacific bench at every football game. No parade worth mentioning started without Dr. Knoles on his white horse leading as marshal. We ran into him on the campus often, for although he was officially retired two years ago, his heart, his hopes were wrapped up in Pacific's destiny. So a living tradition passes, but the men and women he led to the better way of life in education and religious perception will continue to be a growing monument to his faith in the future - a tradition to which he dedicated his life.
