When Dr. Kuebler became the seventh president of Ripon College in 1943 he was 35 years old. and considered one of the youngest college presidents in the country. He had. already, an impressive record as a classical scholar and teacher, specializing in the field of Greek rhetoric and ancient literary criticism. Through his interest in ancient law and government. Dr Kuebler developed the fine critical sense that is evident in his understanding of tlx powers and prob lems of modern governments. Concerned with the preservation and further development of our tradi- tional American form of government, he has de- voted himself to the maintenance of the ideals of liberal education and Christianity as a part of the American way of life. Graduated from Northwestern University with an A.B. degree in 1930. Dr. Kuebler attained Summa Cum Laude and Phi Beta Kappa honors. He sub- sequently began advanced work at Northwestern and Princeton and the University of Munich, and re- ceived his Ph D. in Classics from the University of Chicago in 1940. Studying at Munich while Adolf Hitler was making his phenomenal rise to power. Dr. Kuebler observed the ruthless methods and the ter- rors of totalitarianism first hand. The experience has made him an eloquent spokesman for the preser- vation of the ideals and practices of American de- mocracy. The 1955 Crimson is dedicated to Dr. Clark George Kuebler. in sincere appreciation for that transformation which Ripon College has known under his leadership. The printed page can never do justice to the scope and magnitude of his accomplishments as president, nor can words capture the power of his personality. It is only in our hearts that we can fully record his many personal kindnesses, and only in our lives that we can hope to reflect in some measure the example of his dedicated life. It is in this very respect that Dr. Kuebler has spoken again and again of the importance of a lib- eral education—a preparation for living outside of one's business or profession as well as within it. For in addition to knowing our vocations, we must all learn values so that reflective commitments can be made in philosophy, art. and religion. These in- tellectual and spiritual commitments—freely made characterize the spirit of our nation, and arc the only sure defense against the inroads of totalitar- ianism. Immediately prior to coming to Ripon. Dr. Kueb- ler had been associate professor of classical languages at Northwestern. Besides being an extremely popu- lar teacher, he was head counselor in the men’s resi- dence area, head of the tutorial program, academic advisor to students, and a member and chairman of various administrative committees. As an elected member of the General Faculty Committee he served in an advisory capacity to the president of the Uni- versity. 3
