20 WILMINGTON COLLEGE WILMINGTON, OHIO Remarks made by Hugh G. Heiland on the occasion of the ground breaking for the library addition and the first planting in the Hazard Arboretum, Sunday, October 20, 1963. FRANK O. HAZARD—“His Gift to Life’ Just by mere words, written or spoken, what can one man say about Frank Hazard—that man whose spirit is so deeply felt in all that surrounds Wilmington College? His life is a legacy, a beacon, an inspiration, and the memory of such a life evokes love. To thousands of persons, he was a modest, unassuming man dedicated to teaching in a field of science which, by its very vastness, engendered him with a humbleness beautiful to feel. To hun- dreds of young people, Frank was an unbelievable fountain of knowledge that never ceased flowing. H e carried no books to his classes. He spoke what he knew—what he loved—what he lived, often emphasizing and enhancing his points with deft manipulations and maneuverings of a piece of chalk. To scores of his colleagues, he is a cause for friendly emulation. His gift to Life was two-fold. He gave his sterling character and warm friendship on the one hand while on the other, he shared his knowledge with his students and instilled his glowing enthusiasm in the very beings and hearts of all those who knew him. Truly, the Northwind and the Southwind blew on this garden and wafted the fragrance abroad. He sowed seeds; the flowers nourished. Those same blossoms will continue to give forth in an everlasting cycle. Perhaps today more than at any other time, I am reminded of the words that came from the mighty pen of Daniel Webster when he wrote: “If we work upon marble, it will perish. If we work upon brass, time will ef face it. And if we build temples, someday those temples will crumble into dust. But if we work upon the immortal soul of youth; If we embue them with spirit, give them a just fear of God And cause them to love their fellowmen— We engrave upon those tablets something which will last Through all eternity.” Today, Frank Hazard lives. May our whispered choruses of “Amen” be cradled in the constant winds of time.
