DEAN PALMER PASSES ON

l
,
l
When Dean Claude Irwin Palmer passed away last
Wednesday, Armour Institute was deprived of a charm-
ing and genial personality, of a firm yet gentle character.
His passing was a hard and severe blow and, because of
the suddeness of it, left all shocked when the news was
heard. The sense of loss is deeply felt at the school by
both faculty and students, by the faculty because it means
the cessation of an intimate friendship and association,
and by the students because a helping, guiding hand and

remained at his duty and post even to the last day.

The field of mathematics mourns at the loss of Dean
Palmer, for as a writer of text books on this subject, he ‘
is listed as one of the best. Popularity of his writings
is due to the fact that they show a keen knowledge of
mathematics placed in logical sequence and in good
English. As head of the department of mathematics at
school he will be mourned, by his colleagues.

Dean Palmer is mourned because he was a useful, ac-
tive man. His usefulness and activity when extended to
his own life is particularly striking. If he had not had the
ability to be useful or active he could never have sur—
mounted the difficulties that presented themselves in his
youth. Beginning his life in a log cabin, spending his
early youth in the “back" country of Michigan, be

another to the office of Dean at Armour Institute of
Technology. This, in short, is the story of Dean Palmer's
life, a remarkable career, and a. hard one. i,
The memory of Dean Palmer will always be honoredl
for these things. He will be revered as our Dean, he
will be known as a mathematician, and he will be respected
