DEDICATION YESHT52MlIrTfC'E2 ' i SITY AM STERDAM AVENUE Amo iaein smggr NEW YORK. N. Y. 10033 iliicob To his many former students at Yeshiva, Mr. Stanley M. Cohen is known as a gifted teacher of English and as a devoted guidance counselor sincerely concerned with the personal problems of his students. Those who came into more intimate contact with him recognize in Mr. Cohen a scrupulously ethical individual, deeply religious, dedicated to artistic goals, a man possessed of unusual depth of soul. Mr. Cohen is Zealously devoted to the ideals of American democracy. While in America he spoke often of his desire to see the uprooting of racial prejudice and of his pride in America's progress towards that end. He urged his students to be- come active in civic affairs in later life, affirming that apathy breeds tyranny. Only the terms of the International Educational Exchange Act prevented him from as- suming an active role in our country's politics. Mr. Cohen's ties to Yeshiva University were strengthened by his strong belief in the principles upon which this institution is founded. In his opinion, the glorious intellectual and material achievements of Western civilization do not signal man's abandonment of moral restrictions. Only his humble adherence to a code which manifests itself not only in ceremonial tradition but also in ethical behavior towards corporate society and its component individuals justifies man's existence. The theme of our yearbook, the liberalism and spirituality inherent in the na- ture of the Arts,', is intimately connected with the life of this dedicated teacher. Mr. Cohen's philosophy of life represents his personal synthesis of acute intellectual and aesthetic sensitivity with an equally strong attachment to the profound truths of Iudaism.

The three fields of art, the fine arts, the arts of conduct, and the liberal arts represent in es- sence our society's educational goals. The fine arts, concerned with the attainment of the aesthet- ically pleasing, the arts of conduct, idealizing moral and ethical perfection and the liberal arts, representing intellectual and physical well-rounded- ness are all desirable products of our educational philosophy. The dedicated faculty of Yeshiva University High School exemplifies a successful synthesis of these artistic values. Our teachers, the sculptors of the student body, have labored painstakingly to imbue their creation with a similar set of values. These molders of men have earned our lasting gratitude.
