...understand that last year both the Governing Board and the trustees were opposed to the installation of a bas-relief of Dean Shaler in the Living Room. Their desire to preserve the character of the Living Room will appeal to all who are interested in its welfare. But this discouragement, by vote or by expressions of opinion, should not turn us aside from the main issue--that a memorial to Dean Shaler should be erected, and that the most fitting location for it is in the Union...
Last spring a movement was started to place a memorial to Dean Shaler in the Union. Considerable interest was manifested by graduates and undergraduates, but as the Union was unwilling to start a precedent by allowing a bas-relief to be placed in the building, this project was abandoned. It seems a pity that some form of memorial to Professor Shaler cannot be placed where it will recall his memory to all undergraduates. The bas-relief in the Scientific School and the research fund are very fitting tributes, but their scope is necessarily restricted. If a bas-relief would detract...
There should be no difficulty in raising the necessary funds, if some organization or body of men will take the initiative. Few men who are now in College came into close contact with Dean Shaler, so that the movement must rely for its support mainly upon graduates who had the good fortune to know him personally. Their number is so great, however, that, once a satisfactory project is inaugurated, its success will be assured...
...Norton's courses at Harvard-a most interesting history to follow, especially for those of us to whom Fine Arts 3 and Fine Arts 4 seemed as ancient and as necessary as sun and moon. Professor Palmer, speaking of another teacher beloved by Harvard men, says finally: "Under Professor Shaler the student gained a kindling vision of pretty much all of the natural world; under Professor Norton, of the human." And perhaps Mr. Bryce's words best sum up what we all feel and what these writers in different ways have fittingly expressed: "His clear and luminous intellect, shining with...
...Scientific School, built up by the late Dean Shaler, is now in a state of transition, and will probably develop in time into a purely graduate school. Its graduates will have in addition to their technical equipment, the broadening influence of a college education which counteracts the restrictions of a rigid technical training. Under its present able administration and aided by the McKay bequest, the engineering department should take its place among the foremost institutions of applied engineering in the country. In this development the almuni organization should take an important part. Similar organizations have been successful...
