WALTER FERGUSON I count it one of the greatest privileges of my youth that I was fortunate enough to sit in the English classes of Professor Vernon Louis Parrington. lately so regrettably dead in England. Not only did I listen to him daily In the classroom but for four years I lived in the same house and took my meals at the table over which his fine personality presided as a king presides over a court. His life culminated fittingly in his magnificent book. "The American Mind in the Making,” for which he was last year awarded the Pulitzer history prize. It is a suitable monument to his culture and learning and the perfect language in which it- is written bespeaks the exquisite refinement of the mind which conceived it. He was a born scolar. In the little unive sity where he was one of the high lights he created about him a small court of worshippers, smaller minds that succumbed to the fascinations of his vaster one. Steeped in history he w T as. and loving little else save his family, his books, his garden and his friends. Dressed in the evening for dancing as we youngsters often were, we would invade his study in all our fiiierv. eager for his approval. Putting down his book he would turn in his chair and nod his encouragement. Gravely, yet with his soft smile, he would flatter us like some venerable father, he w r ho was then young enough to have enjoyed dancing as much as any of us. He always admired and exclaimed as we hoped he would. And as w r e waved good-bye. to him he w ? ould say: "Be off. Have a good time. But remember that I shall be having a better. I shall go this evening with Mr. Pepys to dine with the king.” Or, "I shall be walking with Milton in Paradise." or “I shall spend my evening with that prince of entertainers, Faisiafl.” Tc thousands of his students he will not -be remembered as some great scholar who was so wise that he wrote a great book. He will se mourned as a friend and a helper, a gentleman, a scholar, and a poet An exquisite being who loved literature so w-ell that his body died m England.
