IN REMEMBRANCE In July of last year Ursinus lost one of its most beloved professors. He was Dr. James Lynn Barnard. Professor of Political Science and Director of Social Studies for teachers. Possessing an endearing personality, he was loved and respected by his students, toward whom he was always tolerant and understanding. His sense of humor, often directed good-naturedly against himself, v as infectious. You might have passed by Room 3 almost any day and heard him in the midst of some anecdote, applauded vigorously by the class. In his lectures he impressed the students by his own civic pride and patriotism. He believed, with the wisest statesmen of the day, that Americans should be concerned, not with their own personal rights, but with their sacred duties and responsibilities to their country. In these days of war and mental confusion, we students wish more than ever before that he were still here to advise and help us. He would not offer mere factual knowledge, but he would impart to us the quiet faith and dignity of his own heart. It is his spirit which we students of the Class of 1942 have chosen to follow. Like him we desire to be understanding, worthy of respect, and quietly confident. Like him we are convinced of the necessity for living useful and noble lives in the richest and most beautiful country in the world.
