We Lose A Friend

Faced today with the stark reality of death which has ■ come to one loved and respected by all connected with the University of New Hampshire, it is well-nigh impossible to

pay any tribute worthy of the man we knew as Prexy for Front Row, reading from left to right: James A. Wellman, Andrew L. Felker, President Lewis, Roy D. Hunter. Back Row, reading from left to right: Harry D. Sawyer, George T. Hughes, Robert T. Kingsbury, Jessie Doe, John nine years. S. Elliott.
