DEDICATION IN THIS FIRST YEAR OF PRESIDENT SAWYER'S ADMINISTRATION, IT IS BEING STUDIED BECAME A VERY FA- MILIAR PHRASE TO THE STUDENTS WHO HAD QUESTIONS OR COM- PLAINTS ON CAMPUS PROCEDURES AND ISSUES, AND MANY THINGS WERE STUDIED. OUR NEW PRESI- DENT HAD TIME FOR EVERY ISSUE BROUGHT BEFORE HIM, LARGE OR SMALL. HE MADE THE STUDIES IN ORDER TO LEARN THE ROPES, AND HE LEARNED THEM FAST AND WELL. HE MADE EVERY EFFORT TO AC- QUAINT HIMSELF WITH THE MINDS AND ISSUES OF STUDENTS AND FAC- ULTY ALIKE, AND, HAVING ACCOM- PLISHED THIS, HE TOOK ACTION. HE TAGKLED THE COMPULSORY CHAPEL ISSUE, THE FRATERNITY PROBLEM, AND MANY OTHERS. ALTHOUGH THE STUDENTS WERE NOT ALWAYS IN AGREEMENT WITH HIM, HE GON- TINUED TO HANDLE HIS POSITION WITH DEVOTION, BOUNDLESS ENER- GY. AND DETERMINATION. PRESI- DENT SAVVYER PROVED BEYOND A DOUBT THAT HE COULD ABLY FILL THE SHOES OF HIS BELOVED PREDE- CESSOR, AND IUST AS HIS FIRST YEAR HAS BEEN AN EXPRESSION OF HIS DEDICATION TO WILLIAMS WE HEREBY EXPRESS OUR DEDICATION TO HIM.
