Sierra Summer
The leader of the pack train threading its way down a precipitous California trail (opposite page) is Dean Willard Wyman '56, who organizes 10-day treks through this rugged country each summer. Last year Peter Pennypacker '69 took his camera and provided some breathtaking illustrations for the dean's journal.

Merriam's Blacks
When the first all-black Union regiment braved withering fire at Mobile, its commander was Henry Clay Merriam (Colby, 1864), who eagerly accepted a command of which others were disdainful. This profile of a Medal of Honor winner was written by Dean Ernest C. Marriner '13, college historian. (The drawing accompanying the article is from an 1863 issue of Harper's Weekly.)
