l'l DR. JERRY A. NEPRASH T IS Mosr DIFFICULT to aptly express what a student feels when a professor passes from his life. Dr. Jerry A. Neprash devoted over half his life to the service of Franklin Sc Marshall College and its students. He came to F.8cM. in 1928 as an assistant professor and in 1936 he became a full professor. Eventu- ally he became the chairman of the sociology department, a position which he held until his death at the age of fifty. Born in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, he graduated from Coe College before coming East. Prior to coming to Franklin Sc Marshall he taught sociology at Columbia University in 1927, where he received his master's in 1926 and his doctorate in 1932. VVhile at F. Sc M. he taught economics and banking for the American Institute of Banking: he taught physics to members of the V-l2 program during World lfVar II and in 1942 taught the first course in Russian ever given at F. Sc M. mga ez.- em adam Dr. Neprash was extremely active in civic affairs both in the city of Lancaster and in the state of Pennsylvania for which he was endeared to many beyond the scope of the Franklin 8: Marshall campus. He was a member of Chi Phi, Phi Kappa Phi, Pi Gamma Mu, and Sigma Pi Sigma fraternities and contributed more than Hfty articles and book reviews to various sociological and social science publications. . For all of this and the many other tasks to which he devoted himself we must have a feeling of sorrow at his death. This man was an educator. He set his goal at teaching and training another generation-our generation-to mature, to think, to cope with the lifetime undertakings that fall to us after college. Dr. Neprash devoted his life without thought of earthly reward to the most noble of professions. For this he commands our highest respect. .. .:
