Dedication THEODORE GELA ’38 During his undergraduate days at the Stute, Pro- fessor Gela displayed the qualities which mark his personality and teaching career today. While working to obtain his sheepskin, he was particularly active in all sports and was an outstanding star on the varsity tennis team. These qualities are still very much in evi- dence as he annually “returns” to menace the varsity in the Alumni Soccer Game and especially to those who may have the misfortune to play a friendly game with him on the tennis courts. It was this athletic interest and personal drive which led his classmates to remem- ber him for his “aggressiveness, perseverance, and willingness to work hard.” Recently he has undertaken the monumental task of channeling the fundamental, theoretical concepts of Stevens juniors into a working knowledge of thermo- dynamics. Here and as an Associate Professor of Met- allurgy, he brings students through the changeover from the ideal relationships to the macroscopic reali- ties of the physical world. In addition to his friendly and enlightening lec- tures and his zeal for teaching, it is primarily his de- votion to Stevens and his personal interest in and com- panionship with the Stevens students which we honor today. It is doubtful if any professor cheers at more games, attends more social functions, or has a closer contact with students on a group or individual basis than he. Thus the Class of ’62 is delighted to honor here a dedicated Stevens alumnus, teacher, and friend THEODORE GELA.
