E. K. Aldrich, Jr. Sir:

Edward Kimball Aldrich, Jr. (June 16, 1879-October 20, 1947), was Providence born and bred, and a sound and substantial Brown man. After the First World War he served as Secretary of the Executive Committee of the Associated Alumni. He was Treasurer of the Associated Alumni, 1927-33: Trustee of the Brown Alumni Fund, 192T-36; and Secretary of his be- loved Class of 1902 until his death. As a member of the Visiting Committee of the Department of Romance Languages, he gave time and money and equipment to the Department, and took deep interest in its growth and changing personnel. He was active, too, in his fraternity. Phi Kappa Psi, and in numerous societies directly or indirectly connected with the college. In recent years his sole recreation had been the breeding and showing of dogs, Schip- perkes from Belgium first, then Salukis from Arabia. On Salukis he was an inter- national authority. During his busy Brown years he was almost a daily visitor to the Alumni Office, where his friendliness, his innate courtesy, his good counsel were cherished.

The progress by which the very limited offerings to Pembroke students were expanded until all undergraduate courses are open to them offers another illustration of the way in which barriers fall with time. It would be difficult to identify any single act, or any particular moment, when the last obstacle to free access disappeared. In a great crisis Horace Greeley once gave some sound advice. The United States had suspended the payment of gold to its citizens during the Civil War. How to resume specie payments was discussed with much learning, and with even greater length — with some light and even more heat. Horace Greeley brought the whole discussion down to earth. Said he: "The way to resume is to resume." One day, without fanfare, his advice was taken and it was found that the resumption of gold payment presented no problem whatever. The fiscal situation had matured to a point PRESIDENT where it required only the courage to perform the act.

Dedication 4 Contiuiied jrom page 7 y Three emotions struggled for domi- nance in the minds and hearts of Pembroke alumnae on the day of dedication, Mrs. Wilson H. Roads, alumnae President, told the gathering. Pride, Humility, and Grati- tude were competing, she said. "We Alumnae are proud that we were the first to set forth in search of funds when Miss Morriss pointed out the need for a new dormitory, humble when we see what has been added to our efforts. "We are proud to be a part of a great University, and very proud that the second building in Brown's extensive program was this beautiful one on our own campus. We are grateful for this faith in Pembroke Col- lege. "We are extremely grateful to those of our number who under the splendid leader- ship of Mrs. Leslie J. Swain, Class of 1912, worked so untiringly to raise the "Dormi- tory Fund". We are humble before the sacrifice of time and money made by so many Pembrokers, and before the conse- crated effort made by my predecessors dur- ing the campaign, Mrs. John H. Williams, Miss Ollie Randall, and Mrs. Harold P. Watjen. I am humble at representing such devoted women.
