M., Indiana University, 1901 ; Professor of Mathematics, Taylor University, 1901- 1905. An original, inventive organizer of means and forces, he multiplies the five loaves and two fishes through co-operation and fills the bas- kets with the fragments. With the devotion of a Pestalozzi, he is striv- ing to solve the problem of self-help for industrious students, and to teach that, with intelligence and conscience to guide, the work of hand and of brain are equally divine. Practical education and practical Chris- tianity are his ideals. His transparent honesty makes him loved by all who are without hypocrisy.
