A. Aardal, Dr. C. E. Van Horn and ihe Rev. Jacob Cornils. Prof. Aardal, head of ihe physics and engineering department here, succumbed to a heart attack at noon on Labor Day. He had been at Wartburg since 1930. Ten days after Prof. Aardal ' s death. Dr. Van Horn of the mathematics department, also fell victim to a heart attack. He had but recently joined the Wartburg faculty, after twenty-one years of service at Fiske University, Nash- ville, Tenn. On Jan. 7, the Rev. Mr. Cornils, professor emeritus of German, followed, after fifty-two years of service to the church. He was professor of German at St. Paul Luther Col- lege, St. Paul, Minn., from 1915 to 1935. When the school merged with Wartburg, he came here, serving as professor and college treasurer until his retirement in 1948. With the passing of these instructors an era is drawing to a close. A countless number of students who passed through the doors of this college remembered the goodness and greatness of these men. And so it was that when their children came to Wartburg, they too were taught under the same guiding hands. The generations shall never forget those who have by their example brought about an un- dying and unending memorial. From top to bottom — Professor A. A. Aardal, the Rev. Jacob Cornils, Dr. C. E. Van Horn. 23
