gDp. . C-. (I5auaner Pd.B., A.B., B.S., M.S., Ph.D., LLD. President for Twenty Years ON ITS HURRIED journey across the land the wind drops a seed. Unnoticed, but pampered by the sun and rain in its warm bed, the seed springs to life. First one sees it as a seedHng, then as a sapling, and after many years as the great Norway maple. Just as the great trees of nature rise from such humble beginnings, God proN ' ides men who rise from a humble background to do great work. Over six decades ago a little bov was compelled to quit school because he was too young to attend. This boy later continued his education and worked during the summers in a canning factory, on a farm, and on a railroad work train. The young man distin- guished himself bv recci ing the first A.B. degree conferred by Elizabethtown College. After further study, the M.S. degree in chemistry and the Ph.D. degree were acquired from the Universit - of Pennsylvania and New York University respectively. This man, with a notable background as an educator at Eliza- bethtown College and other institutions of higher learning and as a leader in the Church of the Brethren, was elected president of Elizabethtown College in January of 1941. Following twenty years of faithful scr icc in this capacity, he announced plans for retire- ment last spring. In this year of 1961 the CONESTOGAN staff wishes to recog- nize the ser ice rendered bv Dr. A. C. Baugher, an alumnus, a professor, a dean, and a president of Elizabethtown College. -S eruice fKendered Dr. Baugher — minister and educator.
