RESPONSIBILITY WALKS HAND IN HAND WITH CAPACITY AND PDWER HEIDELBERG WVILL NEVER REALIZE what she owes to Dr. and Mrs. Miller. For many years both of them have given their very lives to the amplifica- tion of our Alma Mater. Through their efforts the college has advanced and prospered. Dr. Miller has dreamed dreams for Heidelberg, and many of those dreams have materialized. He has proposed numerous plans, many of which have been accepted. During his presidency the college endowment has reached nearly a million dollars. This represents more than so many dollarsg it represents the work and the reward of an untiring administrator. Dr. and Mrs. Miller's interest in the college has not been limited to Heidelberg as an institution. They take an especial interest in the stu- dents who matriculate within her walls. The president's home is open to the students, who always find a welcome there. The president and his wife are a very vital part of our col- lege. They have given so much to it that alumni and friends naturally and unconsciously think of them, when their thoughts drift back to Heidelberg. Untiring labor, always giving his best is typical of our president. Faith in our capabilities and his helping hand continually stretched forward in brotherly love gained our lasting respect.

I EIGHT MAY REVE OTTO G. SCHMIDT, 1876- 1936, was an active and enthusiastic leader at Heidelberg during his student days here. After his graduation in 1899, his activeness and en- thusiasm increased when he served from 1922- 1936 as a member Of its Board Of Trustees. As president Of the Board from 1932-1936, he was even more successful. In him-the Board found a RENT MEMORIES LIVE leader Whom all were ready to serve. Mr. Schmidt was a faithful friend of higher educa- tion. . .who manifested his desire to promote the things Of the mind and Of the spirit.
