HE opening of college in the fall of 1920 brought many new faces to the campus. Among them was that of Professor John Henry Voss. the new professor of Modern Languages. Students became acquainted with him quickly for he was a man of a very likable and sociable per- sonality. He became quickly a part of the student life and entered into all worthwhile activities with a keen interest. Many students at the close of the year of 1920-1921 were looking forward to work under Professor Voss. It was a great shock to all the students. friends and all in any way con- nected with the college when news was received of the death of Professor Voss and his daughter. Gertrude. The following is a brief biography of the man which every Carthaginian knew and loved. John Henry Voss was born in Baltimore. Maryland. March 18, 187-L. lVhen a mere boy he moved with his parents to the State of Nebraska. In 1893 he graduated from Lincoln Normal. Lincoln. Nebraska. with the degree of Bachelor of Science. In 1902 he received the degree of Bachelor of Arts from the University of Nebraska. VVhile a student at Lincoln, he met Miss Anna Franke. also a student in the college in that city. and they were married August 22. 1902. at the Franke homestead near Chambers, Nebraska. From 1902-03 Mr. Voss was Principal of Public Schools at Bassette. Nebraska. and from 1903-07. Superintendent of Schools at Bonaparte, Iowa. In 1907-08, Mr. Voss was a graduate student in John Hopkins University at Baltimore. He was Associate Professor of German in the University of Oklahoma. 1908-18. and acting head of the department two of those years. 1918-19 he was Pro- fessor of Modern Languages in Lenoir College, Hickory. North Carolina. and at the end of that year was elected President of the College. He declined this call. He became Professor of Modern Languages in Carthage College. September. 1920. On the 11th of July, 1921. while boating on a small. natural lake. near Chambers, Nebraska. Professor Voss. together with his daughter. Gertrude, were drowned. Mr. Voss was an able educator and in his going the College sustains an overwhelming loss. The Dean of the University of Oklahoma. writing about a year ago, said of him. Professor J. H. Voss is one of the best instructors and most scholarly men of the Southwest. Speaking of his work in the University of Oklahoma for nine years, he says: He gave complete satisfaction and was considered one of the strongest men in his department. He is a Christian gen- tlernan of high character with an'interesting and cultured family. I regard Professor Voss. both from natural ability and training. the best qualified man that I know for a teacher of Modern Languages. He is energetic. tactful. and thorough.
