Klag consents to speak at an auditorium session, the students listen with double interest, for, besides his far-famed humorous anecdotes, he always presents a very pertinent message . . . some- thing worth treasuring . . . something the listener never forgets. There is in him to whom we dedicate this book a strongly marked individuality, a strength of character, an extraordinary perception and understanding of life. In performing his duties as dean of the sophomore boys, he shows a kindly and sympathetic interest in every boy with whom he has occasion to deal. Deanship is, with him, not merely a routine of notes and excuse slips, but an opportunity to redeem the wrongdoer through a personal, helpful interest. His own indom- itable character, plus intelligent discipline, helps him build character in those boys whose dean he is. ln Mr. Klag, one finds a man whose interests are bounded not by schoolroom walls, but by life itself. For ten years director of athletics, for twenty-four years teacher of mathematics, sciences, and physics, Mr. Klag has led a busy life at Waite. During his career as athletic director, Waite's athletes traveled from coast to coast, sweeping all before them. School activities have not crowded others from his life. He is president of the Methodist Men's Club, past president of Schoolmen's Club, teacher of a Sunday School class of college students-all positions which evince the high regard in which he is held by his associates.
