NE CR Within the short period of four months, the College lost two of its more important community members. Both educators of inestimable value, Brother E. Charles and Brother E. Pius each worked in a separate function. Brother Charles, by his nature, was a teacher, and spent most of his life in tlie classrooms of various colleses and hij;h schools of the Baltimore Province; Brother Pius, on the other hand, had great ability as an administrator, an ability which he exercised in some of the most prominent positions in this same pro ince. Both of these men were at La Salle for many years before their deaths, and their loss has been keenly felt by those who knew them. Brother Charles succumbed to a heart attack on No- vember 3, 1947, having passed sixty-seven holy years in this life. During his fifty years in the order, he enhanced im- measurably the Brothers ' long teaching tradition. A Doctor of Science in chemistry, he had a complete knowledge of his subject and an enthusiasm for it that instantly communi- cated itself to his students. Brother Charles ' gift as a teacher was not limited to just a knowledge of chemistry, however. Appreciating the aid which wit and humor give to both the teacher and the student, he utilized these faculties in all of his lectures. Tlic result of such a combination of fine quali- ties was, as his many students will testify, a classroom ex- perience rarely foimd in any college or university. The last sixteen years of his life Brother Charles spent at La Salle as Professor in chemistry. In that time he helped prepare hundreds of men for medical and research careers, infusing in them the ageless spirit of science and impressing upon them the spiritual significance of science and life. Our loss at his death is compensated somewhat only by the beautiful memory he has left in the hearts of all of us.
