Dean’s Portrait Recently Unveiled Ceremonies in the dedication of Merrill Hall, new Home Economics building, held Saturday, October 10, included the un­ veiling of a portrait of Leon S. Merrill, Dean of the College of Agriculture. Arthur L. Deering, ’12, president of the Gen­ eral Alumni Association, gave the address just prior to the un­ veiling of the portrait, funds for which were contributed by alumni of the College of Agriculture. Mr. Deering paid Dean Merrill a fitting tribute for his many years of service in behalf of the University of Maine, as one may see from the following paragraphs. “It is my special privilege to present to the University, as a part of these exercises, a portrait of Dean Leon S. Merrill. “In this connection let me say that this fine building which we are dedicating today is due in no small part to his untiring efforts and his ability to win support from others and thereby bring about the necessary action that caused a dream and vision to become a reality. “One hears much today about those sons and daughters of this State who have attained fame and fortune in distant lands, who have become leaders in the political, religious, social, and economic life of this nation. “However, the time may come when we will devote more space than is now being done to those who have given their lives to the upbuilding of Maine and achieved greatness for them­ selves and for their native State in so doing. “Of such is the man whose portrait I am to unveil.
