Carl Gaenssle In the retirement of Dr. Carl Gaenssle, our school has lost an excellent instructor and a friendly counsellor. A Doctor of Letters and a Doctor of Languages, Mr. Gaenssle came to Washington in 1922. Here he taught ancient and medieval history, German, and Latin. To the last student, Doc was recognized as a true linguist, one who firmly believes that no education is complete Without Latin. He can speak a dozen languages and is a master of German, French, Latin, Greek, Hebrew, Aramaic, and the hieroglyphics of the ancients. For many years he took delight in offering in- struction to Greek enthusiasts after school. Dr. Gaenssle thought Saint Paul was the great- est man Who has ever lived and often quoted in Latin, German, Greek, or Aramaic the fa- mous chapter from Corinthians on charity. Next to Greek, Doc loves baseball, the great American game. Certainly, the men teachers will remember him as the champion bowler of the schoolg as one has said, Oh, he,s Way ahead of all of us. Moreover, none can say that Mr. Gaenssle ever became old-rather, he was seventy years young,' when he retired. His upright carriage and springy walk were more youthful than many a student's. Dr. Gaenssle was beginning a study of Chi- nese When he left Washington. His regret upon severing his contact with young people was compensated by the anticipation of ful- filling a long-awaited desire to Write A Chris- tian Apologetics. In his departure Washing- ton has lost an apt scholar and teacher.
