Dedication It is difficult for us to pay sufficient tribute to the man whose name was for so many years synonymous with Ursinus College. Many of his students will long be grateful for Dr. Brownback’s encouragement “You can do it!” his widespread influence, and his genuine and personal interest in every one of them. We remember well the phone call interruptions of all his lectures, the brown shirts, his desire always to meet parents, his “Very superior!” To everyone who knew him. Dr. Brownback was a sympathetic friend and, indeed, Ursinus. Page Three
