Dr. Siegfried Marck, Professor Emeritus of Philosophy at Roosevelt University was a member of the orig- inal faculty of Roosevelt College, when it was established in 1945. He started his teaching career in 1917 in his native Germany, but was forced to flee the country when Hitler's regime seized control. Dr. Marck taught in France prior to coming here in 1939. After being heard by Deans Hillman and Leys at a guest lecture he gave at the University of Chicago, he was offered a teaching position at the old Central YMCA Col- lege where he taught for the next six years. Dr. Marck was co-author of the book: Germany - To Be or Not To Be; in addition, he wrote many other books and articles in both German and English. Dr. Marck died February 16, 1957, in his home.
