Appointments, speeches, problems, meetings, lectures, and dinners are all a part of the campus life of the tall, redheaded man who is the president of Valparaiso University. A few lucky seniors are allowed to attend his classes in Christianity and Modern Problems in the F all semester and Christian Ethics in the Spring semester. These classes are held informally in his oHice and consist of lectures and discussions of the principles which should guide a Christianis life. President Kretzmann meets the incoming fresh- men each year at a reception at his home, and annually the women of Dodge and Altruria Halls hold a Christmas reception at which he is the guest of honor. , Students fortunate enough to have personal con! tact With President Kretzmann remember him for his friendly chuckle, his warm interest in every problem, great or small, and his profound thoughts about this world we live in and the greater existence to Which we all aspire. Students who have never been privileged to sit in front of his huge mahogany desk and talk to him person- ally, remember him for his inspiring messages to the student body at Easter, Christmas and convo- cations, his friendly Hello! on campus, and his devotion to the ideals and standards of Valparaiso University. 19
