25. I would like to express my sincere appreciation to 0. Paul Varnell'63 and Henry Kramer'63 for the wealth of information about Guild history that I have gained from my conversations with them. I am also deeply indebted to Michael J. Henry '59, and to all those before him who served as Guild historians, for the collection of materials dealing with the development of the Guild.
