DEDICATION On June 14, 1954, the thirtieth senior class that has had the opportunity of being taught by Professor Eugene M. Kayden will graduate. It was in the Fall of 1924 when Mr. Kayden left his job as consulting economist with the Department of Agriculture to come to Sewanee. Through the years his learning, his library, his friendship, and his faith have become as much a part of the Mountain as Breslin Tower. Mr. Kayden received his A.B. from the University of Colorado in 1912. He was a fellow in economics at Har- vard in 1912 and, after completing two years work in one, received his M.A. in I 9 I 3. In 1913 and 1 9 1 4 he was a fellow at Princeton, where he completed all work for a Ph.D. in economics. He then did graduate work at Columbia in 1916-17, completing all work for a Ph.D. in English literature. In 1 9 I 7 he was awarded a traveling fellowship to Oxford and Cambridge but was un- able to take it because of the war. Mr. Kayden then went to Washington as an Economist and Trade Expert on the War Trade Board, later serving with the Departments of State and Agriculture. He has taught at Columbia, Pennsylvania State, and Yale. He is a fellow of the Royal Economic Society and the Social Science Research Council. His writings include The Co- operative Movement in Russia During the War, The Economics of Farm Relief, and numerous contributions to encyclopedias and periodicals on economics and Russian literature. Ever since he has been at Sewanee, Mr. Kayden has served on important committee posts, as assistant editor of the Sewanee Review, and in keeping Sewanee ' s social science department up to date in education. His cultural interests never cease to amaze his stu- dents, and his devotion to the meaning of Sewanee is equally as deep. His philosophy is best summed up in the concluding words of his Founders ' Day address in I 950: Gentlemen of Sewanee, here and everywhere, we are the frontiers. We are the new torch-bearers. We are the map-makers. We are the builders. We are the voice. We are history. And history is always now. Ir. Kayden in a familiar pose After-lunch chat with students at Sailor Hall Professors Dugan, Lancaster, and Kayden discuss world affairs.
