ROPP JOHN ROPP BLUFFTON BENEFACTORS They only do not live in vain, who use their wealth, thought and word for others. What they do endures for ever. Some ol' the benefactors of Bludton College have passed to their reward. Others yet see their investmnt in the College grow. The three families represented on this and the Dedication pages have in all contributed two hundred and tive thousand dollars to Blullton College. Without these gifts the work of the College would have been impossible. The first large contribution was made to President N. C. Hirschy by Mr. and Mrs. John Herschler ot' Ashland, Ohio. Their grift was three hundred and ninety-five acres of land, later deeded to Blullton Colle-fre. Mr. Herschler was a man ot' strong: character and high ideals. Mr. and Mrs. Peter S. Thut have long: been friends of Blullton College. They deeded their farm ot' one hundred and twelve acres in 1913 and later made a bequest of over eleven thousand dollars to us. Both passed to their reward within the last year. Mr. Thut will be missed on the Campus and in the Halls, for he loved young: people. nature and music. He knew our ideals. The largest individual yriver to Bluffton College is Mrs. Mary V. Ropp, and the gifts of Mr. and Mrs. Roma and Mrs. Mary Rupp, mother of Mrs. Rapp, have far exceeded one hundred thousand dollars. Mrs. Mary Rupp is ninety-two years of age. The Ropps have hundreds of well-wishers both in College and out of it. Every college man and woman holds dear the Bluffton benefactors and their gifts. -H I JOHN HERSCHLER MRS. MARY RUPP Seventeen
