4 714 Dedictzfivn. . . . . . Our school leader and Col- lege Religion prof, President Nleycr is known to us as the un- rulilcd, meticulous manfspar- ing but precise in his choice of words, and carrying in his mind the multitude of details that were involved in his complex and hard working life at Con- vordia. At the beginning of this year, with Mrs. Meyer, daughters Margaret and Dorothy, and 3- year old Jimmy, he moved into the presidcnt's house, and be- gan a truly successful lirst year in his new position as President of Concordia. As for us, we liked him . . . because he was concerned about us, patient with us, and had a solid-sounding voice and laugh that put us at ease in his elas- scs . . . because he gave us a good start in Prep School Ger- man and led us safely and tact- fully through difficult doctrinal topics in College Religion . . . because he attended our basket- ball games, took an interest in all our activities, worked wil- lingly and untiringly for the bet- terment of Concordia and our- selves . . . because he was a father to us when we had a problem and Dad wasn't around at the time . . . because he was interesting and edifying in his chapel addresses, and always had a warm greeting, a welcom- ing handshake when we came back to Concordia.
