DAVID GOERZ. Rev. David Goerz came to America in 1872 and first made his lionie at Halstead, in Harvey Co., Kansas. Since lie has always been a strong advocate of education, he early became identified with the school which was established at Halstead. Upon the discontinuance of that school, he at once became the chief promoter of the school at Newton. It was largely through his unceasing labor and untiring perseverance that Bethel College became a possibility. The large sum of money necessary for this great enterprise was collected almost exclusively by him. From the beginning of the school he assumed the duties of business manager and in this capacity he has served with greatest devotion and self sacrifice. His utmost desire has been to bring Bethel up to the required standard of a College and to this end he labored incessantly. In the fall of 1909 he suffered a nervous breakdown from overwork and it became evident that a recreation was absolutely necessary. Consequently, he, with Mrs. Goerz, took an extended tour to the Orient. Upon their return, although much recuperated, Mr. Goerz was forced to give up all mental work, much to his disappointment, and go west for his health. In the fall of 1910, after nearly twenty years of faithful services, he resigned his position as business manager of the College, causing a vacancy very keenly felt by the corporation. Besides his work connected with the school. Rev. Goerz has also been a very prom- inent leader in church affairs. He has devoted much time and energy to the spiritual as well as the intellectual welfare of the Mennonite people. At present he is at home in Upland, California.
