) W. A. BRANDENBURG L f President W. A. Brandenburg died October 19, 1940, leaving the results of thirty-seven years' work in education to attest to his strength of purpose and idealism. Since his arrival here as President in 1913. the campus of Kansas State Teachers College has grown until the observer of that time if visiting the campus now would hardly find it possible to credit such expansion. Nearly every building on the campus was made possible through his efforts and will always stand as a fitting tribute and mute testimony of that man's devotion to his chosen career. For years he fought for one ideal, the thought that some day this College would receive the university-accredited standing. Again and again he tried to bring about this recognition to the school. That crowning day came one week after his death. Although he was one of the busiest men in tho state, he always found time to talk with the students and help them with their problems. His office door was alv ays open to the student v ho wanted advice and assistance. When all others fail try me, was his favorite expression to the students. He had more school spirit and loyalty than anyone on the campus. Whenever there was any kind of game he would be there cheering, at chapel or programs he would be found in attendance. He wanted the team to win so badly that he would be seen riding in the back of a Model T Ford, leading the students in a snake dance uptown on the eve of an important game. When the football or basketball team gained a victory over a longstanding rival, and when breaking up classes was uncertain, ho was always the one to grant the unexpected half- day of freedom. Because of his loyalty, generosity and friendliness of spirit, he was known to both student and faculty member as Prexy. No. Prexy isn't dead. For in the hearts of all loyal sons and daughters of K. S. T. C., both present and past, he will always live.
