E. OCB A. BRYAN OSMAR L. WALLER The Graucl Old Men of T ashiiigton State A college or university is not its campus or buildings. It is rather its men, living and dead, and the heritage they have left in the lives of others and in the institution they have helped to create. This does not mean that the inani- mate things which we associate with a college are of little or no value — far from it. It is living, aspiring, striving through the generations and the ages that con- stitute the college. The college generations pass quickly, and the individuals are soon forgotten. The football hero or the college actor that thrilled the public in one generation live only in the college archives for the next generation. Yet in course of time all these generations become tied together as a unit. It is for this reason that we wish to recall to those who have at any time been a part of the State College the names of two men who are now members of its faculty, who have by virtue of their contact with thousands of students, and by reason of their contributions to the economic and social progress of the school, the right to be placed as builders of Washington State College. Dr. E. A. Bryan, former President of the college, had the title of President Emeritus conferred upon him, and Dr. O. L. Waller, for thirty-seven years a professor in the Civil Engineering Department, and for several years Vice-Pres- ident of the College, was given the honorary title of Vice-President Emeritus at the meeting of the Board of Regents, August 28, 1930.
