Dedication . . . Lo, soul, Seest. thou not God's purpose from the first? The earth to he spann'd, connected by network. The people to become brothers and sisters. The races, neighbors, to marry and be given in marriage. The oceans to be cross'd, the distant brought near. The lands to be welded together These words by Walt Whitman aptly express the ideal embodied in the lives oi Dr. and Madame Roland F. Doanc. The example which they have set as teachers and as friends has always reflected their belief that neither race nor nationality should destroy the bond of brotherhood among men. Their work, both here at Ursinus and at Miles College, a Negro institution in Birmingham, Alabama, has shown not only their dedication to academic pursuits, but also their high regard for individuals of all races. Although the Doanes have been at Ursinus only since the fall of 1960. they have won deep affection and admiration from both their colleagues and students. The warmth of their personal interest has inspired all who have worked with them. To their students, they have been friends as well as teachers. The Doanes have always been eager to help wherever their services are needed. An article in l ime magazine led them to Miles College in 1964. After teaching there for a year, they returned to Ursinus to share their experiences. The college community was grieved, however, by the death of Dr. Doane on February 27. 1966. Madame Doane will return to Miles College in September. Although she says she will miss her friends at Ursinus, she believes that she is needed more at Miles than she is here. Those of us who have known the Doanes. will miss them, but we consider it a privilege to have had them with us. even for a short while. It is in recognition of their sincere interest in their students, their desire to serve, and their unswerving devotion to high ideals, that we dedicate this yearbook to them. Neither they nor the example which they set will lx? forgotten. 3
