Clarence D. Rothenberger brought his experiences as a teacher and as a professional scientist into the classroom. He was not interested in the learning of small details by the students, but rather in their understanding the general concepts. In his teaching of physics and chemistry he was able to combine his philosophies about life with the basic truths of science. He sought to motivate his students into reaching the highest levels of their abilities. His expectations often seemed impossible for students to reach, but juniors and seniors could find no greater reward than knowing that they had met his standards. He demanded precision and concentration and received respect in return. Even in the answering of a simple question, he encouraged a student to think for himself. His greatest satisfaction was in knowing that he had successfully prepared students for their future years as young adults. 23
