Professor Louis G. Schroeder It was with a feeling of mingled pride and regret that the student body learned of the resignation of Professor Schroeder from our faculty in order that he could assume a very responsible position on the staff of the trench Government physical education officials. “Prof.” Schroeder graduated from our Alma Mater in Pd 2 alter having made an enviable reputation for himself as an all-around athlete here, making his “S” in football, fencing, hockey, and gymnastics. His unusual ability was recognized bv the ( ollege and in 1913 he was given a seat on the physical faculty, which position he has admirably filled until called to a higher position. In 1918 Professor Schroeder obtained a leave of absence in order to plav his part in the bigger game with Uncle Sam, and was appointed a First Lieutenant in Avia- tion, stationed at Mineola, L. I. With his characteristic thoroughness and effici- (i()OI)-B L, ' TROI . ency, he put over a fine piece of work as senior athletic officer of the camp. hen the plans- tor the great Inter-Allied games had been settled, the French ( lovernment looked for a man to take charge of training the French soldiers. I rofessor Schroeder w as called and placed in absolute power, and so well did he accomplish his task that the representatives of France came second to our own boys, lbs success was recognized by 1 the French and continuous efforts have been made to induce him to take a permanent position on the physical education bureau. However, the call of Old Springfield and the I . S. A. was too strong tii be denied and he returned home to spend tour months with us. The wonder- lul opportunity of creative effort which the position offered could not lie gain- sa id and Prof, decided to put his services towards build ing up the physical education system of France. His sympathy and helpfulness as a friend and teacher will linger long in our hearts and we all wish for him every success in his new field of endeavor. An revoir, but not good-bye, Professor. 2(1
