He combined the curiosity of the pure student with his natural charm to make the boresome mathematics classes effervescent and entertaining. In fact, he was the embodiment of the ideal pedagogue-witty, sparkling, instructive-never dull or tiresome, and always alive to what was new around him. To understand his greatness is impossible without a brief sketch of his personality. His almost uncanny knowledge of his favorite subject, his exquisite fastidiousness in all personal matters, his untiring efforts to stimulate ideas and constructive thoughts, his gentle sarcasm that chided without biting, his genius, his versatility, his integrity, his warmth of feeling-all these were part of him. No one quality existed without the tempering influence of the others. This man of many virtues passed from our midst November 7, 1933. He lived to serve and died in service. His life was useful to the end. Therefore, in appreciation of his service and loyalty, and in defer- ence to the qualities for which men honor men, we dedicate this Bronco T0 MAJOR ARTHUR O.
