RICE UNIVERSITY STUDIES

Let that suffice.

I hope I shall be forgiven a final, very personal indulgence. I cannot
close this piece without acknowledging my gratitude to Radoslav Tsanoff
for his friendship, his selfless support, his unfailing encouragement, his
remarkable example.
In twenty years of constant close association I have
known him indignant but never ill-tempered, hurried but never impatient
with persons in need of him, always courteous but never
merely courteous
always generous, never mean. After running the Department for more
than forty years, he has shown almost superhuman restraint in not of-
fering his successor a single piece of unsought advice; but he has always
been ready instantly to drop whatever of his own he was doing if j
sought his help and counsel. Radoslav Tsanoff, the man, has taught me
more than he will ever put in books.

Not only on the lives of his friends but on the character of Rice Uni-
versity he has left his indelible signature. He has solved, in practice if
not theory, the problem of a significant “objective immortality.”
