JO- a a (mtne iM QentiemoM . . . Ward-Belmont as a whole has, during the past two years, been particularly aware of the helpful influence of one man, Dr. Robert Calhoun Provine: one whose quiet, unostentatious wisdom has had its efl:ect on even the smallest of campus organizations; on members of the staff and faculty; and especially on those of the student body, each of whom will carry her own recollection of him through the years of the future. He has endeared himself to every Ward-Belmont girl through the little things we will always remember about him: his detached way of telling jokes in chapel, the way he looks into space and plays with his car keys while he makes a decision, the fun he gets out of playing a tennis game or watching basketball, his special horse show hat whose brim is perpetually at the mercy of the wind, the informal parties in his home made even more memorable by his artistry at the piano, the way he tries to keep from laughing at pointed jokes in chapel, and more than anything else, his sympathetic understanding . . . the strength behind his leadership. In years to come our appreciation of him will grow as we recall his medium of bringing out the intangible good in each of us: his abstractions which brought order out of chaotic minds, his belief in the inherent good latent in every individual. It is this good in us we dedicate to him.
