We lleilicate, this hook tn: Dr. Trann Lamar Collier ln respect for his twenty-five years of fine companionship, leadership, and inspiration which he offered to all Washburn students. Immortal? What a pompous word to give To you-Yes, you would laugh and put your feet ' Up on your desk and talk of other things. But people were your business. Knowing them, You made them know themselves. You gave your thoughts To those who asked and so you left yourself Behind you when you went-and sent the shell You carelessly inhabited awhile To fare the best it could. And so l hear, Quite often now, As Dr. Collier says. What better kind of immortality Than being spoken of in present tense As if you were still here-as still you are. 5
