~ ' 'Look to! Treble's going I ~ ... she's gone!" This ancient cry of the bell ringer, calling the change ringers to their beguiling and intricate music, will soon be heard throughout the rotunda and narthex of Stetson Chapel. Eight members of the band will attend its call as they stand at the circle of ropes that mirror the symmetry of the double spiral stair case under the tower. Arms to the ceiling, grasping the colorful red, white and blue "sallies" woven into the ropes, they will tip the bells from their delicately poised balance and send them hunting and dodging through time-worn paths, always changing, never repeating and, with a little luck and a lot of skill, even tually returning to the perfect order from which they started. Stetson Chapel, which has stood mute for more than 50 years, will receive a voice of dignity and authority on June 2. On that date a new ring of eight English tower bells will be dedicated to the service of the College and the community. They will not be installed as a caril lon nor as a chime.

No wise man or woman ever sets a course and is completely satisfied at journey's end. In a message deliv ered by Thompson the year before his resignation, he remarked to a large audience, '' . . . You know, the bigger the thing you undertake, the greater the likelihood that you will fall short in some measure. The philosophy and program and work and objectives of this type of institu tion set up a situation where you will forever have a sense of falling short and of failing to do what you under stand to do. "You see, it is a comparatively simple thing, if you think about it philosophically, to set up a program in education which has a certain number of goals which are easily achievable and concerning which you can feel very happy, as you measure yourself in comparison to the things you originally understood to do. "In undertaking to give an all around and overall type of educa tion which does not settle for purely factual or skill achievement, but which talks about the quality of life, and the idealism and the purpose and motivation and color under which we undertake to have people live, you are talking about a pretty big program which will keep every body busy forever . . . It covers so much ground that you are vulnera ble on so many fronts, and you do it in an area of accountability to the people, that it keeps you eternally humble, I assure you." Paul Lamont Thompson, lOth president of the College, died on March 21, 1976, leaving behind a legacy of personal humility and an immodest agenda for excellence at Kalamazoo.
