CARTHAGE COLLEGE 4 THE 1911 CRIMSON RAMBLER E RY DENHART XYU names connected with the annals of Carthage College will al- ways be held in special honor. The one is the name of the first president, Dr. David l.. Tressler, by whose rare gifts of heart and intellect were brought together and welded the influences that made possible the beginnings of Carthage College. llut Dr, Tressler's early death left the work to which he had dedicated his life unfinished. lt was in the years of financial stress and discouragement following his death that Mr. Henry llenhart tirst became a member of the College lloard. From that time, with the exception of a brief interval, and cone tinuonsly since 1592, he has served the College in that capacity-always a wise and sagacious counsellor. During all this time every new enterprise in the interests of the Cola lege has been inaugurated by a generous gift from Klr. Denhart. XYl1en l'resident Ruthrauff began his canvass for a fifty thousand dollar ene dowment, it was Klr. Denhart's initial subscription of ten thousand dol- lars that insured the success of the effort. lYhen llenhart llall, named in his honor. was built and furnished, half the cost was borne by him. Xthen the gymnasium was built, Klr. Denhart agreed to pay one dollar for every dollar secured from other sources until the total sum required was raised. ln the spring of lilttil he gave to Carthage College the largest single gift ever given tup to that time-J to a Lutheran College in America. This was a gift of one hundred and twenty-five thousand dollars: one lmndred thousand to be paid into the endowment fund as soon as an equal sum had lzeen secured from others. and tive thousand dollars to lie paid into the treasury of the College annually for tive years. .Xnd the items mentioned are only the largest of the largest in a series of generous and timely gifts from Mr. and Klrs. Denhart extending through all these years. The total of their benefactions to Carthage Col- lege cannot le less than one hundred and seventy thousand dollars. All this. too. nfitwithstanding much discouragement, much caviling and ptr- sonal criticism. Not only has Xlr. Denhart, by his magnificent generosity. made possi- ble the present continuance and future growth in power and influence of Carthage College, l,ut in his position as member of the lloard of Trus- tees his service has been inestimahle. These intangible things cannot be measured, and can never be fully known. Wie cannot estimate the value to the College of his mastery of affairs and the wisdom of his counsels, but we know that the fullness of his busy life will ever be an inspiration to the studtnts who shall come to Carthage College, and to those who go forth from lter walls to tight the strenuous battles of life. DEAN XY. K. HILI.
