After World War I the Memorial Gates. opening into the Evergreen Walk that led up to ' Old Mainti were dedicated to the memory K of Carthaginians who had died in the war. After World War II a new ments dormitory served to honor coliege members who had died in that war. Also in the l940's the generosity of 19-1. 20...

With the coming to Carthage in 1909 of President Harvey Daniel Hoover the college entered something of a golden era. H. D. Hoover was a man of many gifts as leader. teacher! fund raiser. pastor, and friend, not least as a friend ofstudents. He served as President from I909 to 1926, and Alice Kibbet biology teacher and individualist. alumni of that era remember him with great respect and affection. H. D. Hoover was a builder of the faculty. When he came to Carthage he found a number of solid teachers. like Dr. W. K. Hill. Dean of the College and Professor of Chemistry. To these President Hoover added many more. From the John Hopkins University he brought William Cart Spielmant Pro- fessor of History for over thirty years, and Merle Chapin, Professor of Eng- lish for equally as long. From Cornell came Dr. Alice Kibbe. She is remem- bered. to be sure. as something of an eccentric. lmportantlyt however, she is honored as a biologist of national stat- ure who gave forty-four years of first rate teaching to Carthage College. Professor Elmer Hanke. trained at Augustana. brought the music school to high reputation. Other notable Hoover recruits in- cluded two deans. Archie Oscar Boat- man served in many capacities, one of Pearl Goeller. '20. veteran administrator. them that of Dean of Men. He was also a iong-time science and mathe- matics professor. Perhaps the pro- foundest scholar ever to distinguish the Carthage faculty was Dr. John Olaf Evjen. He was a theologian. his- torian, and linguist who earned his Ph.D. at Leipzig and wrote a number of scholariy works. A remarkable teacher, Evjen left an indelible impres- sion on many students. not least on a number who became leaders in the
