.. I ,fl t 1 In Memoriam Professor Strongs thirty-year-long teaching in the Normal College has been one of the hnest contributions made by an educator in any American state. He did not have large classes. He led no fraternity. He was most retiring. The more heed- less students passed through their two years here with little con- sciousness of his presence. Ilut those whose good fortune or whose keenness for good things led them to him were well re- warded. He was a good teacher, yet singularly greater than the knowledge of physics or astronomy that came of his teaching. was his inHuence. His knowledge was sound and up to date. He read constantly. But the play of his mind was so civiliz- ing, so humane, so cultured, so full of real humor and charm that no one could escape its iniiuence for values above knowl- edge. He was an old-fashioned scholar. a rare gentleman. Bl.-XRK IEFFERSOX 14
