When he came to Ripon. Dr. Kueblcr found an institution almost «a hundred years old. basically sound, but in need of strengthening direction, and long-term planning Tin country was in the middle of the war. and Ripon had to servo a double purpose: to serve the nation by maintaining an A S T P pro- gram: and to keep its normal academic program as intact as possible. Not onlv did Ripon do an excel lent job at both, but it came out of the war period somewhat stronger. Improvements were made in the physical plant, the faculty was broadened despite a serious shortage of available personnel, and the foun- dations were laid for a long range program to be be- gun as soon as the college could return to its normal life. At the conclusion of hostilities. Dr. Kuebler ad- dressed himself to the further improvement of the faculty in every way possible. Since it is the faculty that determines the character and tlx reputation of a college. Dr Kuebler did all in his power to pro cure men and women of the highest caliber and com pctencc for the faculty. At the same time the cur riculum was revised after careful study to make it more coherent and tiuly liberal. Additions were made, especially in the humanities and fine arts, and a more balanced curriculum was effected. During this same period Dr. Kuebler. tlx trustees, and tlx faculty directed their attentions to the task of working out a long-range plan for the college as it prepared to turn into the second century of its life. Ft was decided to keep the college small: to hold fast to the liberal arts ideal and to limit the program, preferring quality to quantity: to recruit from gradually expanding geographical areas young men and women of character, ability, and varied interests: and to emphasize the non-denominational Christian character of the college. Through the Pre-Centennial Celebration and the Centennial Observance itself. Dr Kuebler helped im- measurably to enhance the prestige of the college and to win new friends and supporters. The Cen tennial Campaign made possible the remodeling of the Gymnasium and the building of Scott Hall. As usual, these critically needed additions to our physi- cal facilities did much to boost morale. The culmination of all Dr. Kuebler's effutis came at the end of the Centennial period in the establish- ing of a Phi Beta Kappa chapter a; Ripon—corrob- orating testimony that the college had been strength ened in every aspect of its life. To have Ripon meas- ure up to tlx exacting standards of Phi Beta Kappa and thereby to get official ranking in the top eight percent of all colleges and universities :n the coun- try was to start its second century with a record of undeniable achievement as an institution of higher learning. These are only the most salient of Dr. Kucbler's accomplishments as president of Ripon College. In- numerable others could and should be mentioned. I lis spirit and deeds are reflected in every facet of Ripon College, to which he devoted every fiber of bis being.
