President C.H. Becker ... a Great Man They called him a great man. I began to wonder, what makes a man great? And so I followed in his steps that day. Brisk and determined were the steps that led him to his office early in the day — brisk and determined, but yet they halted to greet the students who passed by. Anxious and supporting were his steps as he counseled with students — anxious and sup- porting, for this was the work he loved, and much of his time was spent in this way. Impressive and advising were the steps he took as he attended a faculty meeting and a faculty committee meeting. Here his advice was often sought, and he was willing to give, so that Wartburg College might continue to grow. Firm yet hesitant were the steps that led him to duties away from the campus — hesi- tant, for this was the place he loved. Loving and sincere were the steps that led him to spend precious moments with his family. Humble and reverent were the steps which led him again and again to the Throne of God in prayer. This is the path his steps often trod — this was a path well-worn. Now I know why he is called a great man. The man is truly great who follows in His steps.
