In view of the number and variety of Professor Kezdi's activities, the high quality of his lectures and research papers is especially remarkable.

This high quality pervaded every phase of Professor Kezdi's work, from scientific content and precise logical presentation of scientific argument to his well drawn illustrations. Professor Kezdi's performance in Princeton testified to great native gifts, developed by strict mental discipline and excellent working habits.

In the relatively short time he has been in Princeton, Dr. Kezdi became a highly esteemed colleague and made worthwhile contributions to the scholarly and scientific atmosphere of the Department of Civil Engineering through his well thought out and well presented lectures.
