The staff of the 1945 OLLA PODRIDA sincerely dedicates this hook to Professor Paul Holroyd Curts, Ph.D.. that we may express the gratitude of the Wesleyan community for all he has done for the College, State. and Nation. We note with deep pride his 36 years of service to the College, highlighted by diligent work on innumerable committees and by his revision of the Catalog, found- ing of the Publications Board. and start- ing of the Calendar. His service to Con- necticut includes the founding of the Middlesex County CounciL Boy Scouts of America; and untiring work in connec- tion with the Connecticut State School for Boys. His service to his country is featured by outstanding work in both World Wars and the publication of five German texts which have gained wide recognition throughout the country. But, and this above all, we admire Pete for his unselfish and unassuming manner by which he has devoted himself to this cherished way of lifeicalled Wesleyan.
