DEDICATION The 1968 “Purgold” is dedicated to Rev. Karl G. Schroeder in recognition of the distinguished career he has made of serving the Loras community. His is a long association with the College. Father Schroeder graduated from Loras in 1930, and returned to join the faculty in 1938, having studied four years at the University of Louvain, Belgium, where he was ordained in 1934. He received a Bachelor’s Degree from Oxford University in 1938 and an Oxon Master’s degree in 1942. He was named chairman of the Department of English in 1955 and this year resigned from that post. Perhaps the most apparent of Father Schroeder’s contributions to this institution is his work with the Loras College Players, the theatre group he has directed for twenty-nine years. The Loras Players is thought to be the oldest amateur theatre group in Iowa; its established reputation, in a major way, is due to Father Schroeder’s effort and imagination, to his sense of theatre and his sincerity of purpose. Certainly as significant is his work as chairman of the Department of English and as a teacher. During thirty years on the faculty he has shared his interests outside as well as within the classroom, for he is an educator, concerned with informing students and helping to shape their lives. In the course of a lifetime devoted to an institution, a man contributes more than hard work toward the improvement of that institution: he also contributes a spirit of sacrifice and service. Father Schroeder has dedicated his life to this institution, and in so doing has paid Loras College a great tribute.
