Idrnf. 51. QHH. Anhrrann lVho of you when turning back the leaves of life's book of memories cannot dis- tinctly recall certain incidents which focus and retain your attention around one of Alma Mater's most successful and influential educators? Is it not with genuine pride and pleasure that you bring to mind various reminiscences and once again revel in the thought as you depict in your mindls eye a tall, slender Hgure and remember the influence of that genuinely rare personality, reflecting throughout a sound Chris- tian character of the highest type? G1'eat as may have been your first impressions of this man, yet you whose privi- lege it has been to become more intimately acquainted with him know that to be cap- able of appreciating his true greatness and worth you will have to observe him as hc goes about his daily tasks. It is with a moderate, measured and steady tread that you see him approaching, head erect, always ready to extend a warm personal greet- ing to all he meets. The genuine smile and twinkle in his piercing yet kindly eyes so illuminate the darkest recesses of your soul that all fears and misapprehensions from fatal recitations instantly vanish. It is with some ado that you stifle your mis- chievous chuckle, as you think of the innumerable times you had secretly wished Hellas had been less liberal with her culture and Xenophon better schooled in the ways of the twentieth century youth. Yet, contrary to your fantastical forebodings and antagonistic apprehensions of dislike and prejudiced hatred of the Hellenic classic, ere you are aware of it, you have developed a surprisingly keen ,interest and delight in that which you formerly believed an evil to be endured during school days only and then forever thrown into the desolate and fathomless depth of oblivion. lVe, whose good fortune it has been daily to come under his pedagogical and manly influence, know that as a teacher he does not give perfunctorily or stintingly. However, not until you have laboriously and diligently toiled at the intricate and highly inflected paradigms of Greek grammar, and can triumphantly exult and pride yourself in having mastered the seemingly impossible, not until then can you appre- ciate and understand his superb magnanimity of soul and purpose. His efforts are not hampered by na1'row, selfish interests, but you are constantly the recipient of his great kindness and forethought. That you have mastered the rules of Greek syntax is not his highest concern, but it is his greatest reward and satisfaction to know that you have Ugrownn and developed physically, mentally, and spiritually and that he has been instrumental in moulding a stronger Christian character within you. In him Augustana possesses a man of sterling character, a man in whose ad- mirable personality we recognize splendid traits of leadership, an indefatigable worker, a most commendable instructor and a true friend.
