Welsh, who that year became the head of the State Normal School. Mr. Hartline came here not as a scientist, but to organize a de] ' irtnient of manual training. This he did. ;md it was recognized as the best department of its kind in any of the State Normal Schools. He took a leave of absence from 1893 to 1897 to attend Lafayette, where he received both his B.S. and M.A. He then returned to Bloomsburg, where he ortjanized the De- partment of Biol(.)gy. In 1901 he secured leave of absence to study abroad at the the University of Heidelburg and the Uni- versity of Bonn. When he returned he took charge of the pre-medical courses. and taught until he retired in lO.i.x Dean William B. Sutliit retired in l ' ' . 7, after being a member of the faculty for forty- four years. Serving under live heads of the institution, Dr. Judson Perry Welsh, Dr. 1). I. Waller, ] ' r.. Dr. Charles H. Fisher, Dr. G. C. L. Riemer, and Dr. Fran- cis B. Haas, Dean Sutliff watched the col- lege go steadih- forward, and in th;it i)rog- ress he played a prominent part. For many )ears Dean Sutlitf served as a teacher of mathematics at Bloomsburg, and hundreds of students have received in- spiration from his fine instruction. When the office of Dean of Instruction was cre- ated in 1921, he was appointed to the posi- tion, which he ably filled until he retired. During his term of office he was resjion- sible for the preservation (jf the rcicords of the more than 8,000 students who gradu- ated from the college. The esteem in which he is held by both faculty and students is shown in the following;- (|uotation, taken from the dedication written to him in the 1937 Obiter: To him who has followed with eager eyes the changing scenes, the .growth of the new, the enrichment of old I ' r:uK. W. r.. .S( ' Ti.n ' ' F tradition ; to him who has taught more than the physical aspects in the movement of the swinging pentluluni : to him who has caught the soul of the c.impus and set it fast to rhyme and rhythm, this hook is reverentl}- dedicated. To such men as these — pioneers, admin- istrators, and teachers — the college that is liloomsbura; is forever indebted. 15
