An Apprpriatiott Sr. Olljarlfa Wlivn l ogt In appraising the work and influence of a teacher, there must be taken into account those intangible, but nevertheless, positive values of personality and spirit; as well as the nature of instruction and position. Indeed, the former are the essential factors that make a teacher great, and without which the work is merely academic. Great teaching is a matter of spiritual insight, and consists first, ot skillful diagnosis of the conditions of those who are to be taught, and second, a living appreciation of the problems of life, and third, a warm and radiant per- sonality that interprets and inspires. To be a great teacher is to be counted among those who are most serviceable to humanity. The great teacher lifts the torch that illuminates the dark places of ignorance and superstition and lights the way to physical and moral health and treedom. With a deep and searching under- standing ot human nature, a liberal and comprehensive philosophy of life, and a sympathetic and friendly at- titude toward both. Dr. Charles O. Hoyt was one of these teachers. Henry C. Lott, Department of Education Page Twenty-one

3n mftttortam iittian . iSobprts. 1366-1928 Dimon H. Roberts was horn November i, iS66, and died April lo, 192S. For twenty-eight years he was head of the Training School of the Michigan State Normal College. The educational career of Professor Roberts was long and distinguished, and our institution suffers a very great loss in his departure from us. He did his work quietly, effectively, earnestly, and a host of teachers, students and little children mourn his death. He loved the Train- ing School to which he had given such a long part of his life, and in return teachers and pupils repaid him with unfailing devotion. He was able to fasten friends to himself with bands of steel. He had a deep appreciation of the finer things of life. Music, art, books, appealed to him and were reflected in his life. Professor Roberts loved the State Normal College and the city of Ypsilanti. Their prosperity was his joy and hope. As a citizen, he was active and respected; as a neighbor, he was always helpful. He walks our streets and hal ls no more, but he did an honest piece of work in the world and is not forgotten. Clyde R. Ford, Department of Modern Languages Page Twenty
