President ln 1934, a young iuan returned to XVabash after three years spent in England under the auspices of a Rhodes Scholarship. Thus it was that Byron Trippet, having earned his master's degree in England, returned to his ahna mater as Mr. Byron Trippet, instructor in history. In 1939, this young history instructor began assisting the then Dean of the College, Dr. George Kendall.

It is not our purpose to reiterate the Various laudatory remarks made about Dr. Trippet, but rather inter-relate the man and the school at a turning point in the history of Wabash. The VVabash community is now in the process of re-evaluating and restating its hopes and aspirations. It finds a succinct spokesman in the person of Dr. Trippet, embodying as he does the attitudes which have made the liberal arts college a valuable part of the American educational tradition. YVhile aware of the various claims about success in business and leadership of a free society, Dr. Trippet feels that the greatest benefit of a liberal education is to be found in the contribution which it can make to the growth of an individual as a human being? The knowledge of self and mankind which can be gained in this manner is of an infinite value. Bearing this in mind, Dr. Trippet is firmly convinced that the liberal arts college need not fear for its future despite the trend to increased specialization and Vocational ed- ucation. Nloreover, he does not regard science as the enemy of liberal arts, pointing out that here at XVabash the natural and physical sei- ences are an integral part of the modern edu- cation. A vital part of the changing attitude at XVabash is the new iinagev to which Dr. Trippet made reference in a trilogy of chapel talks in l95!-J.
