Hessler, President A good, kind, Christian gentleman This fall when we came back to Millikin, we were prepared for the absences of President Hessler and Professor Cole, but many of us had not realized the many ways they had endeared themselves to us. We missed President Hessler ' s friendly hello ' s when he met us coming up the front walk; his co-operation in writing editorials for the Dec when- ever asked, in writing inscriptions for the Millidek, and articles for the alumni news. Those of us who have had even faint urges to be scholarly, found inspiration from President Hessler and his talks in chapel. He was the most learned man that many of us have ever known, and beyond that he was wise, Christianly — humanly wise. We instantly felt his sympathy and understanding for us, and we always knew that just by listening to him we would find inspiration and comfort. Many of us have said many times, how can any one man pos- sibly know so much? and we meant about books, but also we meant about living. How indeed? Only a very fine man— and a very great one could know so much. 16

reflect . . . . L M. Cole, Professor Emeritus Not only our teacher, but our friend In his capacity as an instructor rather than an administrator, Pro- fessor Cole was known to many of us better — that is, more intimately, than we knew the president. He could return a joke with us with the same dexterity that he could mend a door. We knew what they meant when they called him the grand old man of Millikin. Pop was grand and he was fun. He could always be counted on to mend cupboard doors in the Dec office, lend keys to students and faculty who had locked themselves out of rooms, help the girls in his home art classes get them- selves extricated from the complicated machinery down there, and there was always a wry comment about some of the stumbling efforts of stu- dents who were learning to put their hands to use for the first time. He never got out of patience, nor did he ever leave a student in his diffi- culty — he was always there helping, guiding, making it easier. A mechanical arts instructor who often boasted that he knew more poetry than anyone on campus — that ' s contrast, but that was Pop Cole. A grand old man. A big, fine person capable of commanding not only our respect but our love. 17
