PROF. R-. C. THOMPSON Member of Faculty 1905-1908 N ow Member of Faculty of State University of Nevada When Prof. R. C. Thompson resigned his position as Instructor of Latin and Ger- man in the Albion State Normal School, to accept an offer from the University of Ne- vada, both Faculty and students felt the loss to be well nigh irreparable. His unus- ual versatility had made him invaluable. No man in the state excelled him along his special lines, Latin and History. N0 other man had done so much'for the Nor- mal in building up its reputation for an i11- vincible foot-ball team, possessed of irre- proachable honor. He did more than any other man to establish the Inter-scholastls League of Southern Idaho, and was its President until he left the state. He was- it not the originator-at least a mighty up- holder of what is known as Albion Spirit --a spirit of honor undeflled, courage 11n- daunted, and persistence unlimited. Per- haps no finer thing can be said of Mr. Thompson than this-that the least sha- dow of an untruth, in any form whatso- ever, is absolutely ipmossible in him. Add to this abroad, fine essence or Christianity, and you will understand how his influence for good can not easily be paralled. He entered the Normal as Instructor in History and Latin in September, 1905. In 1907 an increased Facility made it possi- ble for him to drop the History, and teach Latin and German. In every interest of the Institution, he was most active and energetic, taking an especially useful part in the guidance of the two literary socie- ties throughout his stay. In all contest whatsoever, athletic or academic, he was a most earnest and efficient worker-young debaters and orators owing him a big debt of gratitude. We are heartily grateful for the inspira- tion he left with us, and predict success for him, wherever he is, whatever he does. -42 0 o -N IKFQMJ s f. ci: v-' Will. 'V
