In M emonam To those who knew him t he name Walter Hays Detmers was suggestive of all that is gracious and noble and strong in mankind. Mr. Detmers was born into a cultured and Christian home. After his graduation from Brown University where he was All American College First Baseman, he lived in Europe two years. On his return to Ameri ca he spent a year at Harvard. He thus brought to his profession almost the best possible type of prepara- tion and had laid a secure foundation on which to build a strong and beauti- ful life. Physically Mr. Detmers was good to look upon. Like some young cypress, tall and dark and straight He walked like a man and Lived above the fog in public duly and in private thinking. Socially he was extremely modest, almost shy, never boastful and had no tinge of haughtiness. Among his pupils and close friends he was a charm- ing conversationalist. He was richly endowed with a captivating sense of good humor and an imimitable gift of wit. Mr. Detmers was a positive character. With him a thing was either right or wrong. He possessed Opinions and a will. Few if any teachers ever enjoyed and merited greater affection and admiration on the part of his pupils. His classroom always had the right atmosphere in which young people might live and grow best. The pupils called him Daddy Detmers with all the finest connotations of that appela- tion. He always wished and planned the best he knew for them. Though gone from our sight his memory will always, Beckon to us from the abode where the angels are. W. E. Dimorier

“

Those who educate children are more to be honored than they who produce them; for these only gave them life, those the art of living. — Aristotle. During this war the role of a teacher is greater than ever before. Students, especially needful of advice and help in the emergency, often are spared the difficulty, costly lessons of experience because of a teacher ' s friendly counsel.
