The President ' s Greeting Year after year the FORTRESS carries a mes- sage of hopes realized -- of dreams fulfilled -- of noble aspirations which have become a reality- In a sense, the FORTRESS is the annual record of the activities of the valiant knights and gracious ladies of Wartburg College. So once again the 1959 FORTRESS can report progress. Clinton Hall opened its doors in the fall of 1958 to receive the first generation of knights who will call this residence hall their home away from home while attending Wart- burg. Everyone present at the dedication on October 26 was deeply impressed when Dr. E. G. Fritschel admonished the men who will be liv- ing in Clinton Hall always to live as in the presence of God. During the school year 1958-59 the students saw the new library building develop into one of the finest structures on our campus. What an inspiration it will be to study and browse in those attractive and inviting reading rooms! Imagine seating facilities for 350 students at one time, and room for 80,000 volumes in the stacks! The school year 1958-59 was highlighted when the valiant Knights won the Iowa Confer- ence football championship. What an all-time record — eight wins, one tie, and no losses! An- other high light was the splendid basketball season. No wonder that the victory bell rang loud and long. And again, will the students ever forget Charley ' s Aunt, the choir tour to points West, the Castle Singers ' tour, the band tour, those outstanding programs of the Artist Series, or the performance of the Danish gymnasts? Truly, it was a great year, rich in experiences of many kinds. However, what made the school year 1958-59 most outstanding was the enrollment of 960 stu- dents -- almost one thousand fine Christian young men and women who studied together, played together, and worshipped together. Go forth then, FORTRESS, tell the story of an- other successful year at Wartburg - the story of the knights and ladies who love their College and who will build it for the future. C. H. Becker Dr. C.

Now serving in his forty-ninth year at Wartburg, Dr. Neumann has become a well-known part of Wartburg tradition. Be- sides his position as chairman of the Division of Languages and Literature, he is college vice-president. All who know Dr. Neumann are impressed by his great love for literature and his personal interest in the students. Uncle Herb, as he is known by the students, displays an ever-present quality of friendship, which students have learned to look for in his smile and friendly Hi. He is often seen scurrying from building to building on campus as he carries out his many duties as business manager and as- sistant to the president. Dr. G. J. Neumann Mr. H. C. Engelbrecht Page 19
