' And Gladly Wolde He Lerne And Gladly Teche The 1949 How i-iR is dedicated to Professor Dalma A, Brown, in recogni- tion of his quiet eminence as man and scholar. He has endeared himself to those who know him by his unaflectedness, conscientiousness and modesty. More than anything else, however, one is impressed with his abilit ' as a teacher and his complete devotion to his students. Professor Brown has expressed these qualities not only in the countless hours he has given to his work w ith college students, but also in his concern and an.x- ietv for their welfare and progress. Often you will find him late at night in his office in the Alumni Building, grading stacks of papers or revising his care- full - prepared notes in the light ot new discoveries m his field. And he has literalK ' worried himself sick in his efforts to serve his students more ef- fectively as teacher and counselor. He is constantU ' asking, How could 1 have presented this subject more clearly? or, Was this examination fair to the students- or, Am 1 pointing out the really essential things in this course in such a wa ' that ever one can understand them? .Many students will remember him for his interpretations of eighteenth century English literature, as he unra els the trends ot this complex period and brings its figures to lite. Others will remember his patient explanations of the intricacies of English grammar, and his survey courses in English and American literature. In the classroom and out he is humble, sincere, eager to help, and honestly interested in his students. But his activities are b ' no means limited to the school curriculum. He has served capably as faculty adviser to The Student, offering many helpful sug- gestions to staff members ot the magazine. He is a member of Phi Beta Kappa and currently is president ot the Humanities Club, a scholarly organization composed of professors who teach courses in the humanities. He is also a family man, very devoted to his wife and their two children. Professor Brown ' .s personality, like his appearance, is not pretentious or formidable. His worth creeps up on ' ou, like the hidden value of a good book, or a philosophical truth. You come to realize that through the years he has built up an imposing edifice of accomplishment — an edifice of more in- trinsic merit than the flashy impact of a more spectacular individual. His simple dignity and his great love ot books, learning and teaching remind one of Chaucer ' s Clerk of Oxford. Indeed, it would almost seem that Chaucer was speaking of Professor Brown when he uttered the eloquent tribute, And sladK ' wolde he lerne and gladlv teche. DEDICATION

T LHIS, our 194V HowiFK, is the record in words and pictures ol a school year at Wake Forest College. That is its purpose and its theme. It is a contemporary record, one which will have been completed just as you read these words for the first time. And it is a perma- nent record, one w hich will take on added significance as the years go by. I lere you will find recorded the patterns w hich form our 1948-1949 school year— names and flices, organizations and activities, aspirations and achieve- ments. It is as though the complex mosaic of these patterns had been hewn in granite by a hand which has just added the last touch to an inscription that will perpetuate them forever. You, as a Wake Forest student, helped form these patterns which we have tried to record. Whether our con tribution was great or small, it was a vital contribution, for it was unique, and could not have been made by anyone but ou. Without you the story which we tell would be a difterent one. So this is your story — the record ot yourself and those who joined with you to create the living drama of a year in the life of your college. You will always remember this drama, especially those of you for whom this is the last year of college life. Bur your memories, no matter how vivid today, will grow dim with the passing years. We who have produced this record hope that it will help you to keep them alive and distinct. We hope that in time it will become for vou the kev to a storehouse of half- forgotten impressions, with power to release them as a flood of nostalgic reminiscences.
