And happy the students in that classroom. You are such a teacher. The twinkle in your eyes and your con- tagious, slightly off-center smile have won our affectionate re- gardg your good-humored but always uncompromising adherence to high standards has won our respectg your ready willingness to participate in our activities and to counsel us when we have sought help has won our gratitude.

Iune, 1964, will mark not only the end of two years of college education for the class of '64, but also the end of the teaching careers at Westbrook of Mr. Marshall Bryant and Mr. Robert Imlay. Mr. Bryant, Chairman of the Department of Humanities, has been with the College for thirteen years. Formerly a member of the music department at the University of Missouri and for many years a distinguished teacher of voice in New York City, Mr. Bryant has brought a cosmopolitan touch to the Westbrook scene. His characteristic urbane manner and his nice sense of discrimination have been felt by Westbrook students in the classroom and on the concert stage. While demanding a quality performance from the Westbrook Chorus, he still nourished, as well, the pure enjoyment of good music among students who were not themselves to be professional musicians. His good influence will be 'long remembered by his students and colleagues alike. Robert Imlay has been a vital, distinctive personality on the Westbrook cam- pus since l950. He is infused with a youthful enthusiasm for the world of ideas and ideals. He is the Rennaisance man in the 20th century: in an age of special- ization he dares to pursue Truth and Beauty over a broad spectrum. Mr. Imlay will be best remembered, we think, by his students and friends at Westbrook in two ways: in visual reality by his own work and that of his students in ceramics and in our imaginations by his refreshing encouragement of the will to learn in us a . To both Mr. Bryant and Mr. Imlay in this year of their retirement, the Class of 1964 extends its appreciation for all that they have meant to the College over the years and to this class in particular and with this appreciation go our best wishes for many happy and fruitful years ahead.
