DEDICATION r Tf ----- 1 ■ ■ Dr. Seymour Lainoff Assistant Professor of English The purpose of a college education is two-fold: first, it prepares the individual for independent thought and action and, perhaps more important, it enables him to recognize his own intellectual limitations. In carrying out this program, education, faced with these seemingly contradictory goals, must mold the student by blending pride in himself with consideration for the opinions of others. In short, education must instill not only individ- ualism but humility. Dr. Seymour Lainoff is particularly successful in applying the two aspects of this program. We can remem- ber many pleasant, stimulating hours of exchange of ideas in his classes. He would never curtly dismiss a student ' s comment or question; he was always willing to explore the opinions of others. We feel that he uniquely symbol- izes the successful blending of initiative and humility. Often the quiet, soft-spoken person is overshadowed by his more aggressive associates. Eventually, however, the deserving individual receives his due recognition. It is, therefore, with deep appreciation that we dedicate this Masmid to Dr. Seymour Lainoff.
