7 In Token Of Service Wabash is the ideal to which many men have given a greater part of their lives. Among these are Professors Fred C. Domroese, Albert R. Bechtel, and Neil C. Hutsinpillar. These three grand old men of Wabash became pro- fessors emeritus the first of the year. Despite the fact that their class room service was over, they still maintain their interest in the College. Dr. Bechtel was always in his office in Waugh Hall and the botany majors hardly noticed the “emeritus” after his title on the door of his office. He was still Dr. Bechtel who could tell you anything you wanted to know about the wonderful world of plants. He loved to tell the botany majors of their successful predecessors —whose careers he so immeasurably contributed to. All of them knew that their careers were richer from asso- ciation with him. Profesor Domroese was a familiar sight on the campus any day during the year. He was frequently seen in the library talking with some of his former students. Never forgetting a name or face, he was a pleasant reminder to all of us that one doesn’t ever really get old—only mature. Such personality and character are an inspira- tion to any Wabash student. Professor Hutsinpillar kept his interests in the ac- tivities of Center Hall. Not seen so much as Professors Domroese and Bechtel, he nevertheless had not retired from Wabash life. Whenever the Scarlet Masque pre- sented a play he was there to see that it met that certain standard that anything connected with Wabash must meet. He became more interested in literature and drama because of the extra time that he had. A book by most any author was more interesting than a fresh- man English theme.
