The 1961 Elms is Dedicated to you: Dr. Arthur Mertzke When in the course of our college experience we encounter a professor whose intellectual achieve- ments are outstanding, whose practical knowledge of the everyday world is extensive and whose re- fined conduct is an inspiration to all around him, it is altogether fitting that we should show our appreciation of his example by bestowing upon him a high honor. You are especially deserving of such honor, Dr. Arthur J. Mertzke, for the vast knowledge you have imparted to your students as visiting profes- sor of business administration, for your under- standing guidance as head resident of Lehman Hall, and particularly for your wholesome influence on this campus, for the past three years. As you retire now from Elmhurst, you can look back upon a distinguished career in education and bus ' ness. You have taught and worked across the United States, concentrating your work in the mid- west. In between working as a director of research for the National Association of Real Estate Boards and as director of media for Batten Barton Durs tine and Osburn of Chicago, you have lectured at various colleges, among them Cornell, North- western, and DePaul Universities. You were listed in Who ' s Who in America, and are now in the Who ' s Who in the Midwest. Moreover, you can remember the many friends you have made here and elsewhere through your friendly understanding of others. During and after classes, Dr. Mertzke is willing to explain terms and concepts with any interested students. As a mere token of our deep-felt appreciation and best wishes for a happy future, to you, Dr. Arthur J. Mertzke, we dedicate the 1961 ELMS. The classroom is the familiar setting where most students remember Dr. Mertzke.
