YOST. SR.—o loyal son of Ursinus, a true gentleman, and a real scholar. mA.lw III M}y ;T VvAv, PP M ,9 «owi :. o ;':f j'A; W� Siliifil saisgllMisIfiiB WE HONOR AALID I • One of the first lessons in life thot we all had to learn was in the charming book, Alice in Wonderland. In this story the Mock Turtle instructed us never to go anywhere without a purpose. And just as we have successfully completed these years with a fixed purpose in mind, so too do we now review them with an equally definite objective. • We are striving to present our brief history so as to show that it has not been merely a succession of disjointed events, but a series of well organized occurrences, molded into a complete picture. • It is not difficult for us to recognize those events of great importance. But in support of these highlights of the past year are the shadows, the less brilliant happenings. They cannot be considered less important; they have merely played a less spectacular role. So the picture we now set forth is. with highlights and shadows, the complete portrait of the class of 1939. ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ p i[ n THE COLLEGE ........................... BOOK ONE Views of the Campus . . .

Maurice O. Bone. John W. Clawson Alumni R. Donald Evans, Harry W. Snyder The high standard of athletic policy enjoyed by Ursinus College, is determined and controlled by on athletic council composed of students, alumni, and faculty members. The duties of this council include the formulation of the entire Ursinus athletic program, the arranging of team schedules, a systematic financial budget for varsity and junior varsity teams, and the selection of coaches. Under the guidance of this council. Ursinus College teams have risen to an enviable position among small eastern colieges. Adhering strictly to Ursinus policy and tradition, the council disao-proves of commercialism of teams and subsidization of players, therefore teams representing the college are run entirely on an amateur basis. The schedule of Ursinus teams that have been arranged by this council, includes games with colleges of like scholastic standing and which are devoid of professionalism.

From a total of eight games, the Grizzlies won none, tied one. and lost seven. No one seems to be certain of the exact cause of the trouble. One thing is certain, however, it was not the fault of the new coach. Don Kellett. Don worked hard during his first year as head coach of the Bears. That Don knew what it was all about could be seen from the few streaks that the Bears did have and from his record as freshman coach for three years. Don was ably assisted in his coaching work by Pete Stevens, who had also been line coach under the former Coach McAvoy. Don and Pete lost many a night's sleep over the poor season, but even that didn't help to bring success. In addition to a new coach, the 1938 campaign brought several other innovations. Don Kellett inaugurated a new system of football at Ursinus. The use of the Notre Dame system with its T formation and shift was his choice. The use of the spread T formation proved quite effective in several games. Still another innovation was provided by the revived Booster Committee. Through the efforts of co-chairmen William Wimer and THE 1938 VARSITY SQUAD: Back Row; Coach Stevens. Bardsley, Gushord, Jacobs. McConnell, Ehlers. Johnstone. Walichuk, Biery, Coach Kellett.

Wise, and Fettermon. Gertrude Mullen. Ursinus received a mascot. Zachie. the bear cub. The Booster Committee also deserves a great deal of credit for providing real pep meetings, arranging for pre-game parades, and for maintaining a real spirit among the student body during the season. Although victories were not ours, the 1938 season will be remembered by the outstanding performances of several seniors. Fred Todt did a fine job of captaining the 1938 machine as well as performing his usual duties at the guard position. George Meklos and Howard Gushord were good aides to Todt in the line at the guard and tackle positions respectively. Bill Power will be remembered for his excellent punting and field generalship. Ray Gurzynski will be remembered for his hard hitting and especially for his 88-yard run in the Muhlenberg game. Howard Smith will be remembered for nis shifty running and for his return of the kickoff in the Gettysburg game to score a touchdown. Lastly, Glenn Eshbach will be remembered for showing real spirit by his willingness to come out in midseason and to capably fill the end post left vacant by the injuries to Charley Bowen and Don Fettermon. Even though the season’s record doesn’t look well in summary, there are certain things worth remembering. The boys tried their best but it just wasn't their year. Football is classified as a major sport and an extra-curricular activity and win or lose the Bears reaped the benefits of fair play and good sportsmanship. f I A n t -t K £ 4 i ! Raymond V. Gurzynski Back DELAWARE 12—URSINUS 9 Ursinus opened its 1938 football season with the Mud Hens of Delaware. After a first-period punting duel between Homan and Power, the Bears fumbled and paved the way for the first Delaware touchdown. The second half found Ursinus driving hard to score their first touchdown of the season. Late in the half Armstrong fell on a blocked kick giving the Bears their first score However, Delaware refused to be tied, and with the help of two penalties. Viden and George collaborated to again score for the Mud Hens. Ursinus' only further bid for a score was a safety garnered by George Meklos. Howard W. Gushard Tackle George M. Meklos Guard William M. Power Back Howard B. Smith Back DICKINSON 7—URSINUS 7 Ursinus came closest to gaining a victory in the second game of its season. Playing before a fair-sized crowd on Patterson Field, the Bears staged a last-quarter rally to tie Dickinson 7-7. Dickinson got under way early in the second half, and after Padjen returned one of Power's punts to the Ursinus 27 pushed over a touchdown. A moment later Power returned the kick-off to the Ursinus 32. From here Gurzynski and Roncoce alternated to stage one of the best running attacks of the season. Four successive first-downs placed the ball across the line. Dawson's try for the extra point was good and the score became seven all. Further aerial bombardment was to no avail for either team, and the gome ended as a 7-7 draw. Charles W. Steinmetz A Top Loft: Dawson gets his rnc' in tho Dickinson fray.

LAFAYETTE 39—URSINUS 0 A highly-favored and highly-rated Lafayette team spilled the Bears by a score of 39 0 at Easton. Although the Bears played a far superior brand of football than they did in the Muhlenberg fracas. Lafayette managed to score at least once in every period. Quite an outstanding performance for the Bears was that of Glenn Eshbach's. who was called upon by Don Kellett to take the place left vacant by the injuries of Bowen and Fetterman. This was his first varsity appearance of the season and he deserves a great deal of credit for his willingness to help out in a time of need. 11 f n t $ i JUNIOR VARSITY This year a new team was instituted at Ursinus in the form of the Junior Varsity foot ball squad, which replaced the frosh team of former years. This new team was brought into being in order that upper classmen might have the opportunity to play despite the fact that they might not be of varsity caliber and likewise to develop young players for whom there would not be a place on the varsity squad. At the first call of G. Sieber Pancoast, new mentor of the Bear Cubs, nearly thirty enthusiastic candidates turned out to play the J. V. schedule of five games. After a brief but intensive training period, the National Farm School was engaged at Doyles-town. Though the Cubs plainly had the upper hand, the scoring punch was lacking in both teams and the game ended in a scoreless deadlock. The next contest was with Wyoming Seminary at Wilkes-Barre and once again the final whistle found no score for either aggregation. The following week, on a fine autumn afternoon, the Cubs found their claws and used them to excellent advantage in defeating Brown Prep by a 7-0 score. Abruptly enough their winning ways were lost in a sea of mud on Patterson field. Through four wind-swept quarters the Bears battled valiantly only to go down to a 6-0 defeat at the hands of the Drexel J. V.’s. Nor did the last game of the season bring any change in fortune, for at Pennsburg, likewise in deep mire. Perkiomen Prep turned back the Cubs. 7-0. In this game, the J. V.'s showed their power in the fact that they registered many more first downs than did the Preppers, but once more lacked the final spurt necessary for victory.

Coach Kenneth Hashagen's charges virtually paralleled last year's record in suffering a mid-season lull which spoiled an otherwise great season Starting off the schedule with an all-Junior five the Bears ployed good ball up until the naif-way mark when a series of two-point or extra-period thrillers which saw the Grizzlies on the losing end interrupted their march vo a good season. Limited by inexperience to a six-man playing squad. Hashagen's crew succumbed to the grueling place of these ‘thrilling exhibitions but rallied enough at the end of the season to pull up near the .500 mark. Playing under the newly inaugurated nocaptain plan which saw each man assume the leader's responsibilities on different nights, the Bears finished in fifth place in the Conference for the second straight year. Handicapped by the lack of size and brute strength the courtmen had to scrap every minute of every contest to amass their comparatively good record. From the spectators' viewpoint the season might be classed as the best in recent years for its two electrifying extra-period games and six games which saw the issue decided by four points or less. Every fuss was thrill-packed from beginning to end. but on too numerous occasions the sharpshooting and ball handling finesse of Hashagen's squad was nullified by the height and power of the opposition. Individually it was Hal Moyer and Frank Meade who kept the club in the running both as one-two scoring men and os all around players. Moyer led the point makers with 127 counters while Meade bore the brunt of the work off both boards and generally was the spearhead of the team in offense and defense. Hal Chern closely followed the leader with 124 points and again was the outstanding floor man. Chern's passing and ball handling proved to be a major cog in Hashagen's machine. Bobby Keehn. weathering a season of close guarding assignments and sub par shooting, finished fourth in the scoring race with 121 markers. Bill Power, the only Senior on the squad, and burly John Wise rounded out the active playing list and racked up 43 and 37 points respectively. The very fact that the four leading scorers finished within a six-point range indicated the smooth team play and distributed scoring punch that v as evident throughout the whole season.

Don Kellett's Freshman basketball team experienced one of the best Freshmen seasons on record in winning eight games of their fifteen-game schedule. The yearlings showed great possibilities in gaining more than an even break on their tough schedule which included nearly every school in the Varsity conference. The Kellettmen opened strong against Albright by winning. 35-17, only to be tripped at F. M. a few nights later. 35 to 27. The yearlings took two in a row from Hill School and Girard College before blowing a big lead to lose to Perkiomen Prep by a 32 to 29 score. Howard MacMahon had a twenty-one point field day against the Lighthouse boys while the Freshies won. 54-30. Two nights later they whipped the Drexel Frosh by eleven points before bowing to Muhlenberg on the home floor. 40 to 23. Kellett's team went FRESHMEN BASKETBALL off on a four-game losing streak which included the Freshmen clubs from St. Joseph's. F. M.. Muhlenberg, and the Perkiomen Preppers before coming back to lace the Norristown Y, 47-38. After winning from Drexel again on the home floor the yearlings went to Reading to close their fine season with an easy 41-27 victory. Kellet+'s five showed a lot of power in winning their games and might easily have won several more save for the lack of experience. Sensational Howard MacMahon established what is believed to be a Freshmen record in scoring with a total of 159 points in the 15 games he played. Al Hutchinson paired off with MacMahon to be the main springs in the Freshmen outfit. Hutchinson also eclipsed the century mark in scoring. Bud Adams. Jack Garlock. and Al Tkacz were the other starters and all gave good accounts of themselves. Left to Right: Morningstar, Tkae:. Adams. MocFarlond Coul’er, Godock.

The Bears finished second to Juniata in the Eastern Intercollegiate Conference. With a record of four wins and one loss—to Juniata—in the Conference race. Of the three games lost, two were dropped by a very close margin. Only in the Juniata game were the Bears hopelessly outdistanced. After that game, the team got hot' winning the last five games in a row. The 1938 Ursinus baseballers were a well-balanced team, with two reliable pitchers. Captain Harry Zoll and Fred Sw:ft. In the hitting department, six Bear swatsmiths— Power. Moyer, Wise. Atkinson, Thompson, and Chern—batted .300 or better. Power led the procession with a .383 average. Moyer won the Conference batting championship with a .500 mark in Conference games. The team fielding picked up thirty-three points from the previous year to a .934 over age. Atkinson and Power, playing in all ten games were guilty of only one error apiece. Captain Zoll was the only member of the team who was graduated in 1938. B I Power, who played excellent ball at second base for the Bear nine, was elected to captain the 1939 team. fop Row: Power Swift Manager Walliclc. Torin, Koehn, Chern, and Harris.

The largest factor in bringing about the four defeats for the Bears was the poor fielding done by the squad during the largest part of the season. Don Kellett's charges played their best game against the Villanova Freshmen, losing by a 6 to I score. The outstanding batsmen for the Bears were: Hartline. Kuns. Chalk, and Leuallen. HILL SCHOOL 9—URSINUS 5 Storting out in whirlwind style, the J. V.'s scored four runs in the first inning of play. However, they were scored upon consistently tor the next five innings through errors. Hartline led the Bear attack with three singles out of four trips to the plate. Showalter and Eldredge tried to stem the tide for the Bears from the mound. VILLANOVA 6—URSINUS I The J. V.'s played their best game against the Villanova Freshmen in a tightly ployed, defensive game in which both teams made but two errors. Kuns and Hartline led the Bear batting attack. Two left-handers. Williams and Gilbert held the Mainliners to six hits. PERKIOMEN 18—URSINUS 4 The poorest showing of the squad followed the exhibition against Villanova Freshmen at Pennsburg when the J. V. Team made thirteen errors and Showalter, Williams, and Eldridge were touched for seventeen bingles. Chalk led the Bears with three safe hits out of four trips to the plate. BROWN PREP 12—URSINUS 9 Closing the schedule against Brown, the J. V.'s again played poor defensive baseball but continued to hit well, although the unearned runs allowed to the Brown batsmen proved too numerous to overcome. Kuns. Hartline, and Leuallen again led the Bears at the plate, each collecting two hits. T '■■■£ r t i -t k £ 4 i SEASON'S SUMMARY Gettysburg, 72: Drexel. 25; Ursinus, 19. Franklin and Marshall.

How ever, this season was the most successful one for quite a few years. Perhaps the most encouraging aspect of the season was the rapid improvement of the wrestlers in the later matches At the beginning of the season Coach Pete Stevens had only three lettermen around fhom to form a team. Melclos, Steinmetz. and Snyder formed a nucleus, and. after a rather slow start, those who had been tyros at the beginning of the season rapidly gained experience and became capable wrestlers. Especially worthy of comment was Joseph Lobby's capture of first place in the 155-lb. class in the Middle Atlantic Intercollegiate Tournament at Haverford. Early in February the Athletic Council decided to discontinue intercollegiate wrestling at Ursinus because it is impossible to make a proper showing when lacking a full team. However, after this year's comparatively successful season with its promise of a good ream next year, the wrestling team and many student supporters protested the Council's action. At the date of this writing no further action has been taken by the Athletic Council. I t if n 4 k 4 i TENNIS Coptoin - olect Dietz pro-pores to oce hi$ opponon?

Todt Vice-President William M. Power Secretary-Treasurer Charles W. Steinmetz Organized in 1931, the VARSITY CLUB has yearly grown in strength until now it is one of the most important organizations on the Ursinus campus. All athletes who hove won a varsity letter in any sport, whether major or minor, automatically become members of the Club. The Grizzly Gridder. the football program sponsored by the Varsity Club, and the Varsity Club dance held in the fall, were both huge successes. With the funds derived from these sources, 'he club will hold its annual banquet sometime after Easter. This year the Club has taken upon itself yet another function, that of giving financial aid to deserving athletes. The articles for the Varsity Club Loan Fund' were drawn up and approved by the members of the Club in April of 1938. The fund was put into operation beginning February of this year and was available for senior athletes in their last semester of school. Bcard of Managers: Eshboch. Steinmetz, Todt. LeCron, MeUos.

The two defeats were at the hands of Sworthmore and Beaver. Save for a guard position, the coed basketeers started the season with a veteran team. Outstanding on the defense was Ruth Shoemaker, one of the best guards to play on an Ursinus team: and on the offense. Bunny Harshaw. who was consistently high scorer with an average of 21 points per game. However, it was no individual players alone, but plenty of spirit and team ploy fostered by an inspiring coach. Miss Snell, that brought the team through with flying colors. Blanche Schultz. Alice Dougherty, and Betty Snyder completed the defensive play. The forward positions wore ably filled by Captain Peggy Claflin, Squeekie von Kleeck, Marie Mathis, and Natalie Hoagland. The second team had a complete schedule of eight games of which they won six: losing only to Sworthmore and Temple. The team was ably captained by Louise Rothermel.

The 1938 hockey team enjoyed an up and down season ending with five wins and three losses and one tie. Under the leadership of the diminutive captain. Grade Lees, the team started out with eight veteran players. Outstanding play was shown throughout the season on the forward line by the two shrimps, Squeeky von Kleeck and Grade Lees, and by Natalie Hoagland. who pulled the ball over the line twice as many times as any other player. In the backfield Marie Mathis very adequately filled in the vacancy left by Mary Billett; Bunny Harshow and Ruth Shoemaker did a neat job of guarding the back territory and saved many a goal by their team work. The toughest position was filled in very good order by that scrappy goal keeper—Dot Hutt. The Junior Varsity played a schedule of nine games, winning three, tying four, and losing two. It was a mighty good team and showed a great deal of material for next year's varsity. Varsity Hockey Squad—Left to Right, Standing: Coach Snoll. Hutt. Harshaw, Shoemakor, Robinson. Hoagland. Mattis.

Opening with a 3-2 victory at Bryn Mawr, the girls continued to ace their way past Beaver, Swarthmore. Drexel. Mount St. Joseph's, and closed a spotless season by defeating the University of Pennsylvania in a close 3-2 match. Bunny Harshaw's matchless playing and strategy on the court made her the outstanding player on the team and her victory over Patty Kilmartin of Mt. St. Joseph's was the highlight of the season. Captain Ware and Bunny Har-show each turned in a perfect season, winning all of their respective matches. The doubles teams composed of Harshaw and 'Squeeky von Kleeck.

In the opinion of the majority of students, however, it performed its task well by effecting all necessary adjustments and demonstrated adequately the need for such an organization. Besides its special duties, the Council continued its ordinary functions of a social and governmental character. Under the presidency of Frederick F. Glatfelter the organization united with the Women's Student Council in sponsoring the Freshman Reception, the Old Timers’ Day Dcnce, and the Lorelei. The governmental duties centered mainly about the regulation of freshman men's customs, and prescribing penalties for any violations. MEMBERS Class of 1939: Allen S. Dunn. Robley Ehret, Frederick F.

Editor-In-Chief Business Manage' 1939 RUBY STAFF THE 1939 RUBY may be said to represent the forty-third anniversary of yearbook publication at Ursinus. the first RUBY having appeared way back in 1896. With every editor trying to outdo the efforts of previous editors, the task of putting out a RUBY has grown to immense proportions. This year the staff has had the dual task of trying to maintain the standards of the past four years, and at the same time end the year with a balanced budget. In an attempt to maintain past standards, we have tried to remedy those things v hich the public has pointed out as defects. Thus, by steering clear of both over-conservatism and over-intimacy, we have sought the middle course. In this way. the 1939 RUBY is different, being, in effect, a compromise between the old and the new. Formality has been retained in the opening sections of the book, especially in the class layouts, while the organization and athletic sections have been planned along the lines established in the 1935 intimate RUBY. As for the financial end. it was found necessary to cut our expenses somewhat in order to keep within the sources of income. New ideas were also tried in an effort to increase these sources, the most notable being a reduction in the price of the book to $3.50 for all time. As for the rest there is not much to say. The volume itself is before you. and only your reaction can be taken as an indication of whether the staff has done its work well. f JtArt i K £ i THE RUBY EDITORIAL STAFF EDITORIAL DEPARTMENT Editor -in- Chief Sports Editor Organizations Editor Class Editor H.

AH i -i K £ 4 i ALLEN S. DUNN. JR. Editor-in Chief Under the editorship of Allen Dunn, The URSINUS WEEKLY during the year 1938-39 achieved an enviable standard of consistent excellency. Editorials during the year were not confined to purely campus problems but also dealt with matters of national and international concern. For this editorial policy, the WEEKLY reecived commendation from the Intercollegiate Newspapers Association. The staff was organized along the same lines os the previous year, with an editor-in-chief. a managing editor, and four news editors on the editorial board, supervising the publications of the paper. The sports department, under the direction of the sports editor, Harry Atkinson, 40. took care of its own assignments and was one of the most improved departments of the year. This year saw the successful continuance of two features initiated in 1937-38: the extended column on the left-hand side of the first page, and the section known as Collegiate Cross-Section. which contains small news items. A new feature column, Memories of the Past, dealing with the history of campus institutions, was well received. t u.rt URSINUS WEEKLY The appearance of the paper throughout the year was considerably enhanced by the increased use of cuts to accompany news articles. The issue of March 20. the last one published by the retiring staff, contained no less than thirteen cuts, and was generally regarded as one of the finest issues in recent years. The Weekly Business Staff moots in ordor to try and balance the books. $ $ K HOARD OI EDITORS EDITOR...........................................Allen Dunn 39 MANAGING EDITOR..................................Mabel Dieter 39 SPORTS EDITOR..................................Harry Atkinson 40 NEWS EDITORS- Mark Alspach 40.

Many new faces appeared 'on the boards this fall in the Curtain Club's annual fall Zwing anniversary ploy, ‘ Time and the Conways.” directed by the club sponsors. Dr. and Mrs. Reginald S. Sibbald.

'41 On the very bright evenings of November II and 12. 1938, the Curtain Club, under the direction and coaching of Dr. and Mrs. Reginald S. Sibbald, presented Time and the Conways.” a three-act drama by J. B. Priestly, in the Thompson-Gay Gymnasium. The scene of Time and the Conways” was set in the suburban English home of the widowed Mrs. Conway and her brood of four daughters and two sons. A quotation from the review in the Weekly for November 14 will be sufficient indication of its popularity: As Mrs. Conway. Dorothy Peoples. 39. played a very difficult part with the most intelligent understanding. As Kay. Joan Maxwell. '42. was extremely convincing, and quite aware of the danger of lending her role a pseudo-sophisticated touch. Jean Patterson. '42. playing Hazel, was most attractive and carried her part quite adequately. Edna Hesketh, '40, as Madge, defeated a tendency towards excessive harshness and presented a strong, clear-cut characterization.” T Jt A- fr t t K i JUNIOR PLAY Corrowoy Pirn Dinah Marden Brian Strange Olivia Marden George Marden Lady Marden Anne, the maid Coaches THE CAST William E.

A typical Gilbert and Sullivan light opera, this tuneful play was an ambitious undertaking but its production proved to be one of the best musical comedies ever presented at Ursinus. Laurels went to Robert Gross. 39. for his superb interpretation of Pooh-Bah, the Lord High Everything Else, and to Roy Snyder, 41, who, with his fine voice and distinct enunciation, handled adroitly the comedy port of Ko-Ko. the unskilled Lord High Executioner.

Jimmy Littlefield’s Rhythmaires lived up to their name and transferred Thompson-Gay gym into a house of rhythm last April as the first half of the big Junior week-end was proclaimed a rollicking success. The gymnasium was decorated in an unusual manner. The setting was the front terrace of an old Southern colonial mansion long after sundown. In spite of a rolling brick wall and trees that waved and tottered to the questionable rhythm of The Big Apple everyone went home much happier even if a little broker than when they arrived.

At the end of the year, each member receives one of these books for her own library. The types of literature are varied, fiction and nonfiction, thereby meeting the specific likes of all.

Due to an increase in the number of students interested in low there was a need for an organization to inform these students of the qualifications and pre-requisites necessary for a college student to enter low school and prepare for state bar examinations.

The obstacles encountered in the apparent rosy path of editing an annual are so many, especially in this particular case, that one wonders if the experience obtained is worth bucking against the perpetual monkey-wrench in the machinery of progress. Yet in producing a publication such as the 1939 Ruby.' one must realize that hardly anything worthwhile has been accomplished without first going through a definite period of uncertainty and difficulty. Financial bothers and staff troubles all from which the Ruby' suffered to some extent, are now incidental: the book is complete and credit must go where credit is due to those who helped complete it. To the following persons and institutions. I wish to express my most earnest appreciation for help in creating and aiding me in the production of the 1939 Ruby’ : MEMBERS OF THE CLASS OF 39—who had confidence in electing me editor and who co-operated to varying degrees to certain requests concerning the progress of the Ruby. MEMBERS OF THE RUBY' STAFF—who helped directly in the various phases of the editorial and business work of the book: and especially to Mary Catherine Diefenderfer and Frank Frosch. who helped with subscriptions and advertising, respectively. JOHN EDWARDS. ’40. and LEONARD H. CADWELL. '34— whose untiring efforts with their cameras ore responsible for most of the informal shots and the athletic section action shots. NORM ADERHOLD—of the Campus Publishing Co., whose interest and timely advice was most encouraging: and to his company for the exceptionally fine co-operation and printing. WALT MAZUREK—of the Campus Publishing Co., for his ever-reody willingness to go over copy and layout ideas and submit sketches of all the hazy ideas propounded by the editor. MERIN-BALIBAN STUDIO—for portrait and group picture work which has surpassed any work ever done by that studio on previous Ursinus yearbooks. PONTIAC ENGRAVING CO.—particularly to MR. ART SHARP, for superior grade engravings and for aid and helpful advice in the construction of the Ruby.” In conclusion, the 1939 Ruby is now firmly launched to take its place with the rest of the Ursinus Rubies” in its attempt to portray typical campus life. May it live up to the expectations held for it by oil who awaited its appearance. The experience obtained in editing has been invaluable and never will be forgotten. 154 THE EDITOR
