1-i'l.EfEljtlU I B I E -- -- Zin illlrxnnriazn Joseph Cullen Messick, Professor of Latin, was born in Mechanicsburg, May 1, 1876, and departed this life at his home in Delaware February 3, 1916. Although young, both in years and in his profession, his ability as a teacher had already attained recognition from many institutions throughout the country. His early death cuts short a career that promised much, and creates a vacancy in our Faculty that will indeed be hard to fill. None knew him but to love him. He taught more than declensions and conjugationsg he instilled in those who sat in his classes a love of the finer things in life and at all times he set before them the example of a truly Christian gentleman. The following resolutions, adopted by the Student Body, tell of the esteem and affection with which both students and faculty regarded him: Whereas, Almighty God, in His infinite wisdom, has seen fit to call from us our esteemed professor, Joseph Cullen Messick, and Whereas, We realize that the University has lost a loyal and diligent servant whose life among us has been one of inspiration and devotion, be it Resolved, That we, the students of the Ohio Wesleyan University, bear testimony to his many virtues and offer our deepest sympathy to his bereaved family. 16

On the other hand, were a 1 the names mentioned that are worth mentioning, more space would be required than is here allotted. However, we confine ourselves to this small group, realizing that Ohio Wesleyan has a much larger group of men who are entitled to a place in any Who's Who in Ohio Wesleyan.
