THE ALUMNI QUARTERLY, January, 1941 Page Twelve Students Hell of Education The opportunities offered by the American system of education and the responsibilities of those who avail themselves of these outstanding opportunities, were dealt with Friday morning. November 15, by Bloomsburg State Teachers College students at an assembly period devoted to observance of the American Education Week. Various phases of the general theme were ably developed by Miss Betty Hawk, Miss Eda B. Beilhartz, Richard Catherine Oplinger, C. Grant Brittingham, Ruth H Foote, Brandon and L. Jack R. Shortess. Musical features were provided by the A Cappella Choir and College Chorus, with the music directed by Miss Harriet Moore and with Mrs. John K. Miller at the piano. Songs used in the program were “America the Beautiful,” “I Am An American” and “America.” The program opened with Stewart Edwards reading the message of President Roosevelt regarding education week. Miss Hawk read the Scriptures and the College Chorus sang “America the Beautiful.” Miss Hawk then related the origin and significance of American education week. The first education week was in 1921 and regarding the week she said “Estimates indicate that eight million parents and other citizens visit their schools each November during this observance. They learn about modern school practices and consult with teachers concerning the progress of their children. Millions of through newspapers, magazines, messages sent into homes. other citizens radio, public Better schools, are reached meetings and better understood, are the result of these activities.” “Strengthening Civic Loyalties” was the theme developed by Miss Eda Bessie Beilhartz. She described the loyal citizen as one who “believes in democracy.” Even though all goals are not attained, he has unwavering fanh in our democratic ideals. What is more, the loyal citizen tries to understand his government He tries to keep himself informed on issues that arise THE ALUMNI QUARTERLY, January, 1941 Page Thirteen be settled by public opinion and the ballot, He no nation can remain free unless the citizens understand their government and act individually and collectively to make it effective.” She spoke of the school as “the proving which are to realizes that ground of citizenship.” Richard H.

Grant Brittingham, who said: “People ordinarily think of the Federal Government as a distant mechanism set up to perform remote functions of lawmaking and taxing with little or no relation to the daily life of the individual The fact is the Federal Government is a great service agency. Through its activities it promotes the use of human and physical resources in ways of most vital importance to individuals. There is no asset that should be more highly prized citizen. by a human than his ability to use his physical and mental energies.” The matter to the maximum advantage was dealt with by She spoke of the cost of education rising “because more and better schools and school services have been provided to more pupils and because the purchasing power of of financing public education Miss Ruth Brandon. the dollar has been greatly reduced. cline in the birth rate, enrollment in Although, due to the de- elementary schools fall- is secondary schools, where costs are considerably higher, have increased sharply because of the lack of employment of youth.” In summarizing Miss Brandon stated ing. enrollment that “it is first in evident that costs are increasing both nation because better education is in state and being provided and because more students are attending secondary schools which cost more per person.” THE ALUMNI QUARTERLY, January, 1941 Page Fourteen The concluding address was by Jack Shortess, who in dealEconomic Security" asserted "We are not ing with "Building dealing with just the children of We school age. with the whole of the American people.

He classified individuals in three classes: Those who do not as they are told, those who do just as they are told, and those who do things without being told. In the third class leadership is developed. There are still opportunities on every hand if one is ready and prepared to take them, Mr. Beck told the students.

Doctor Osuna spoke on the nations of North and South He also explained the relationship which exists between the United States and the various countries of South America. He discussed the influence we have in the South American countries and gave several data showing that we have the best foothold in South America. However, he pointed out that the Axis powers are steadily taking that foothold from us. An American (U. S.) man would never think of going down there to marry. Instead he comes home for his girl. However., the Axis powers go there and intermingle and marry the natives. In this way, he said, they are steadily advancing to the point where they will be able to string all of the countries together in America. a solid front against the United States.

BUSINESS MANAGER Page One Orientation &f tyn&iiune+t During the past ten years the Bloomsburg State Teachers College has been slowly but progressively developing what it considers to be a sensible and fundamental program of orientation and guidance for its new students. This program, under the special direction of Dr. P. North of the Education Department, and Di- Thomas rector of Freshman Week year by Mr. Joseph Bailer, Activities, and assisted this based on the point of view that students entering college for the first time should immediately upon entrance to college be given assistance in making those adjustments necessary for success in college. It has been definitely determined that many fine young men and women fail, especially during their first year in college not because of a lack of capacity, but due to a lack of preparation for making certain necessary social, mental, physical and moral adjustments. Failure to make these adjustments, which may result in partial success or even more serious, dismissal from college is not only of the greatest economic concern, but may affect the destinies of the individuals concerned more than the average person might realize. The Bloomsburg State Teachers College program for the orientation and guidance of Freshman includes getting information to and securing information from the students. This program begins with Freshmen Week and continues especially throughout the first semester. During Freshman Week this year three general meetings and a number of group meetings were held, at which the Freshmen had an opportunity to become acquainted with each is — — — other, to meet members of the administrative staff and faculty, and to become acquainted with the college rules and regulations. One of the methods used for helping new students get acquainted with each other was by in- viting all Freshmen to dinner in the college dining room on their first evening in college. The upper-classmen who returned to college early in order to assist in the Freshmen Week program as big brothers and big sisters acted as hosts and hostesses at the tables. The Freshmen then drew a table number as they entered the dining room. In THE ALUMNI QUARTERLY, April, 1941 Page Two way each table had two upper-classmen as host and hostesses, and six Freshmen as guests. The mixing process was quite thorough, and under the direction of the upperclass hosts and hostesses the guests soon became satisfactorily acquainted. Following this dinner the Comthis munity Government Association sponsored a party in the gymnasium. Games, entertainment and dancing featured the program. The information given the Freshmen at their special meetings included customs, rules and regulations, fire drills, explanation of extra curricular requirements, class and regulations, explanation of the Community Government Association, and other informations of immediate value to new students, and especially those students away from home and more or less on their own re- rules sponsibility for the first time. Regular classes are conducted for the purpose of considering the techniques of good study. By the use of a number of bulletins, books and lectures on the subject, the Freshmen are given a thorough knowledge of the principles underlying how to study efficiently. In the improvement of study techniques, Freshmen are assisted in improving their reading efficiency from the standpoint not only of faster reading, but also of increasing their ability to understand what they have read. Furthermore, a study is made of each student’s study conditions, physical condition and other important factors which affect his ability to do efficient college work. For instance, each Freshman makes a survey of his time for a complete week of 168 hours which, of course, includes every day and hour of the week. On the basis of what he has learned concerning good study techniques, the student then develops a weekly time schedule to best fit his individual needs and conditions. A summary of this schedule, filed in the office of the student’s advisor, indicates not only the number of hours he studies a particular subThis summary indicates the jects, but when he studies it. time and amount of sleep, physical exercise, reading for pleasure, listening to the radio and other forms of leisure. This summary also tells the advisor when and how much the student works for remuneration. This is an important factor in many of college students’ lives. Students who are earning their way through college by working during spare hours during the college day, in the evenings and on Saturdays must have special attention. THE ALUMNI QUARTERLY, April. 1941 Page Three FORMER NORMAL STUDENT HIGH IN ARMY A former student at the Bloomsburg Normal School, a State Teachers College, is now in command of the basic flying school at Randolph Field, U. S. army base in now Texas. He is Lieutenant Colonel Idwal H. Edwards, ’13, sonin-law of Mrs. Henry Bierman, former resident of Bloomsburg and the late Dr. Bierman. A veteran air corps pilot with a background of nearly 3,000 flying hours in his log book he succeeds Brig. General John B. Brooks, transferred to the fourth bombardment wing at Westover Field, Chicopee, Mass., as commandment of Randolph Field. The “West Point of the Air’s” new commander stall- ed his military career early in 1917, when he attended the first officers’ training camps. He was commissioned as a second lieutenant of infantry on October 26, 1917. Within a few months he had requested transfer to the air service and got his pilot’s wings in April, 1918, at Rockwell Field, Cal. He was immediately assigned to duty as flying instructor at that station and remained there until 1919, when he transferred to Love Field, near Dallas, as adjutant. Colonel Edward’s first command was in the Philippine Islands in 1921 where he was commanding officer of the Second Observation Squadron for two years. Returning from foreign service he was assigned to the Mid- dletown Air Depot, in Pennsylvania, where he was supply two years. Colonel Edwards’ officer for first of three assignments to duty the nation’s capital came in 1925 when he served until 1927 as assistant executive officer of the office of the chief of air corps. From 1927 to 1930 he served as executive officer at March Field, Cal., going from that station to the air corps tactical school from which he graduated in 1931. His second tour in Washington was from 1931 to 1933 when Colonel Edwards served in the office of the assistant secretary of war for air as assistant executive officer. He was then assigned as student at the Command and General Staff School, Fort Leavenworth, Kas. After graduation from there in 1935 he went to the Hawaiian in THE ALUMNI QUARTERLY, April, 1941 — Page Four Department for his second tour of foreign service. He commanded the 72nd Bombardment Squadron of the Fifth Bombardment Group in the islands until 1937 when he returned to the states to attend the Army War College for one year, September, 1937, to June, 1938. His last assignment before assuming command of Randolph Field was as a member of the general staff in Washington. Colonel Edwards was appointed second lieutenant of infantry on October 26, 1917, first lieutenant on September 8, 1919, captain on July 1, 1920, major on August 1, 1935 and lieutant colonel on June 17, 1938. Colonel Edwards came in the largest of the flight instruction stations in the air corps with an excellent background of training methods. His service as flying instructor at Rockwell Field in the early days of his military career were augmented by his tour of duty at March Field from 1927 to 1930 as executive officer, which was operating as both a primary and basic flying school in those years. OUTSIDE MY WINDOW God sends so many joyful things! One flush of dawn and a robin sings A flash of blue and a whistling song Outside the window all day long. One crocus peeps from underground, And soon a host of them abound, (Even before the grass is green), In yellow, blue and purpling sheen. The wind lulls in a cool refrain To April’s music, the dripping rain. I watch the daffodils unfold In sunlight tints brighter than gold, Spicy odors drench the air, For buds are bursting everywhere; The smell of freshly ploughed-up earth Presages the year’s rebirth Till resurrection of the Spring. Awakens my own heart to sing. ; — Hilda Clark THE ALUMNI QUARTERLY, April, 1941 Fairchild '16.

Nothing that what they have done I can say will mean anything after As a matter of fact, it is almost impossible, it seems to me, in this day of critical situations to say anything that will be of great value to you. The air is full of voices today — here. there are so many conflicting opinions. Events are coming about so rapidly that it is almost impossible to keep up with them. I heard the other day of the president of a college out West who, after saving for years, had the ambition of his life satisfied. He bought a car. It was a third-hand Ford that rattled along. There were no rings in the cylinders, and it was in rather bad condition. One cold day he drove up to a service station, and not wanting to chill himself, yelled through the closed window, “Fill ’er up.” Because it was so cold, he kept the engine running. Pretty soon the service man came around from the back and shouted through the window, “Brother, you’ll have to shut off the engine she’s gaining on me!” That is the way it is these days. Events are gaining on us so fast that is is very difficult to say anything on an occasion of this kind. — THE ALUMNI QUARTERLY, July, 1941 Page Two I say to you at this any commencement means anything this year, it means something in a place that is preparing young people for educational leadership, because if America at this time does not realize her educational responsibility and It’s a very time, with all because great chalienge, earnestness, that if her educational opportunity, then that the dark ages are going to I think come it is perfectly evident again, not only in Europe The New York Times had a statement in the United States. emanating from Germany that the German youth are showing a Their schooling has been lack of training, a lack of education. neglected and they are beginning to show it, and the thoughtful German people are becoming concerned.

The vast industrial schools sprang up in answer to the call of the Industrial Revolution. Industry became very strong and we needed scientific agriculture very greatly. Thus grew our agricultural colleges. We began to have women demand political equality with the men and there grew up the women’s seminaries. Then came the city colleges in answer to the demand for education close at hand for a large majority. Why? Because science was advancing so rapidly that people had to run to keep up to it, and people wanted to go to college and couldn’t run away they had to do it right there. I’m saying these things as rapidly as I can, to say to you that you go out to a challenge in America schools road, but didn’t — to save civilization. Isn’t it a peculiar thing that at a time when a million people THE ALUMNI QUARTERLY, July, 1941 Page Four want peace to every one who wants war, that we’re having war? Those who wish war are organized, intelligent, are willing to pay the price. Those who want peace are unwilling to pay the price, are unorganized. We re not going to get peace that way.

It is very distressing to hear public men calling each other names. That is no way to settle great subjects. The way to settle them is through calm thought. Bruce Barton once suggested in one of thinking, to teach people to his editorials that in addition to all the other holidays we have, added a “Grandfather’s Day,” and on that day he would have everybody in the United States go out on a hillside with a pine board and a knife, and if the ladies will pardon me, a corn-cob pipe, and just sit still and whittle, thinking and keeping quiet for 24 hours. He said that would revolutionize America, and I am sure he is right. That is what is needed— the power, the capacity, the desire for thought. You and I often see in the national magazines a time budget of how you ought to there should be spend your time — so many hours for work, so many hours for re- many hours for sleep, and yet I challenge you to which there was 5 minutes a day for thought, meditation, and for weighing evidence.

It was one of those setting such as gave inspiration for the pergola. “God’s in His heaven, all’s right with the world.” The college chorus sang that stirring color song of Bloomsburg, “Maroon and Gold” and Reber Fisher, president of the class, came forth and presented the orator of the day, Stuart Edwards, of Edwardsville. The orator chose setting remarks the reality of the day would be on the utopian plane of the for his rather than something that and unmindful of the world beyond. He touched on the responsibilities of the government and “the execution of a war-time policy” and then as he continued his discussion there came an accompaniment day to his treatment of drone of an airplane overhead.

That was a period just a quarter cenpondered that tury ago when much of the world was at war, when the class then going out from the same institution was wondering about the future in much the same manner as the class of 1941. Prophetic, that airplane overhead and that class inscription of ’16? Probably not. Rather just an association of thoughts in line with the temper of today’s speculations. But there it was, and those observations fought for a place in one’s mind. The oration was brief and to the point. Concluded, it won the applause of the hearers, and then the class led the procession It was beside a building yet to to the new Junior High School. be actively associated with the college program that a class yet to win its spurs in the world outside had appropriately chosen as the place to plant the ivy.

And, actually, no other single Ivy Day could hardly approach this one in importance. Today we plant life at the walls of one of our college buildings; we start the root of an ivy coat. Outwardly, it seems such an unimportant and little thing, but with reflection and a bit of directed thinking, it can be made large in our heart. It can be made to assume its proper dimension in our existence. Young men and women of our generation have burdens to carry which are inconceivably wide in scope and vast in significance. Upon us shall fall the responsibility of government; the execution of a wartime policy; and the task of reconstruction both moral and physiafter this cloud has passed. As educated men and women, our cal responsibilities are greater, more important than those of the people around us. We cannot shrug our shoulders when problems arise which need clear thinking and subsequent quick action. No, we are the men and women who must take the initiative in all things per- — — taining to common walfare. THE ALUMNI QUARTERLY, July, 1941 Page Thirteen and attaining this momentary goal in our educaautomatically place ourselves in a position to assume these burdens which inevitably fall in our way. So, from today on, let us determine to grow as our ivy grows. Let us start from our root in the educational resources of Bloomsburg, and, like ivy, branch out, climb upward; looking ahead; finding the niche in life best suited to our individual talents. Like ivy, some of us may find our optimum after but a short growing period; some of us may not even take an additional season to mature, but will remain static in our present sphere. Then, without much trouble, I can see some of us ceaselessly pushing toward God’s sun striving, climbing, ever upward and onward. These are the fruit of the plant of education which our teachers have nurtured through favorable and adverse growing conditions with the hope in their hearts that some of us will fan that spark instilled in us and burst forth into the ruddy glow of success- spiritually as well as materially. Our turn will soon come. We shall have the opportunity to become cultivators of the thoughts of men. That is why it is so important that we I'ealize the significance of the guidance and philosophy to which we have been exposed while here in college. Although we may not fully realize it now, this influence will be basic in whatever we do in life. So, before we are any older, let us take an inventory of our spiritual assets of those things that will make us good teachers. Let us discard the undesirable and cultivate the useful. It is blessed to give only if what we give will prove to be a blessing. And the education we give should always be a blessing. Some of us have chosen military, some economic, and various other fields of endeavor seemingly foreign to education. But the responsibility is still there the obligation to our college and teachers that we will progress and advance with firmness in the right as it has here been planted in our hearts. Remoteness is no obstacle; neither is the environmental confinement of our talents. With determination we can all climb above petty hindrances, make our place where it should be, and by so doing fulfill the spiritual promise to ourselves and those close to us. By tional striving for life, we — — — — • Faculty members and former faculty members of the Bloomsburg State Teachers College recently tendered a testimonial dinner to two veteran faculty members.

In Bloomsburg Dr. Waller was a Rotarian, identified with the Boy Scout movement, and was a member of the Presbyterian Church. Projects for the advancement of Bloomsburg interests always found a hearty supporter in Dr. Waller. One of the proudest moments in his life came when he was ninety-two. The former principal of the Normal School attended the general session of the Alumni Association, composed of graduates he had known both as a fellow-student, then as a teacher and principal and finally as the Grand Old Man of the campus. That was the occasion of the hundredth anniversary of the Bloomsburg State Teachers College. In addition to three daughters and a son, Dr. Waller is also survived by seven grandchildren and two greatgrandchildren. Dr. Waller was the present day Bloomsburg State Teachers College’s oldest link with the past that began as the Bloomsburg Literary Institute and flowered through successive stages of a private high school, preparatory school, normal school, and college. Dr. Waller became principal of the school in 1877, when he was thirty-one years of age. History records that his administration was a successful one. The model school building and the east wing of the dormitory, now known as Waller Hall, were built during that period. Dr. Waller had succeeded Dr. T. L. Griswold, who left in June, 1877, two years after the fire which destroyed the boarding hall, a blow that was a heavy one, because the loss was only partly covered by insurance. Dr. Waller served as principal until 1890, when he became State Superintendent of Public Instruction. At , THE ALUMNI QUARTERLY, October, 1941 Page Four that time, the institution was in a fine financial condition. At the time of his death Dr. Waller was one of the three surviving Superintendents of Public Instruction. The other two are Dr. Lester K. Ade, until recently president of the Mansfield State Teachers College, and Dr. Francis B. Haas, former president at Bloomsburg, and now, for the second time, State Superintendent of Public Instruction. Dr. Judson P. Welsh succeeded Dr. Waller in July, 1890. and when he left to teach at the Pennsylvania State College, Dr. Waller, who had retired as Superintendent of Public Instruction in 1893, and had become principal of the Indiana State Normal School, was re-elected principal at Bloomsburg, and assumed that office in the fall of 1906. In January, 1907, after Dr. Waller had returned to Bloomsburg, the following appeared in the Alumni Quar“Dr. Waller has again come to his own. He was terly royally welcomed, first by the trustees and faculty, by whom a reception was held in the school parlors, and subsequently by the students, who gave a reception in the gymnasium. The affairs throughout reflected the splendid feeling that prevails between the newly elected old principal, the trustees, faculty, and students. The same hearty sentiment prevails throughout the town and vi: cinity.” The Quarterly then quoted from an article in the November, 1906, number of the Normal “Herald,” published at Indiana. Dr. Waller’s administration at Indiana little known to most of the graduates of Bloomsburg, but the article shows that Indiana people agree with us in our opinion of Dr. Waller. The article follows: “After thirteen years of service at Indiana, Dr. Waller has left us. And never did a Principal leave a school more deeply regretted by trustees, faculty, students, and townspeople. hesitate to say even a small part of is We toward the great and good Principal whom we have loved and followed. “During these thirteen years he has stamped his own noble nature upon the character of thousands of youths who have assembled here, and he won the admiration, gratitude, and friendship of all the teachers who ever worked w ith him.

His kindness of heart, his strict sense of justice, his reserved and gentle speech are to his students an abiding memory. One of last year’s class in writing of him says “When you saw him for the first time, with his quick, firm step, his easy poise, and his clean-cut features, you recognized a man of refinement, culture, and power. Although dignified in bearing, still in his position as head of the school, he was the best friend a student could have. Did any one ever find him too busy or too deeply engaged to answer a question, furnish information, or give advice? Though he put you at ease in his presence under all circumstances, yet there was a firmness and reserve which we all respected and feared. To the student his slightest known wish was law. His home and social life was fascinating to his students. Always gentle and courteous, thinking of the enjoyment of others before himself, he sacrificed his own pleasures for his friends. To be with Dr. Waller was an ; : education.” Another writes: “We shall miss him in his dear accustomed places his prayers in chapel, his Bible classes, his instructive and stimulating talks in prayer-meeting his pervading presence everywhere.” Dr. Waller came to us in 1893, fresh from his four years of the State Superintendency. Before that he had been for thirteen years Principal of the State Normal School in Bloomsburg. While with us, he completed four of the large buildings on our campus and more than doubled our attendance; but above all he elevated the standards of the school and greatly advanced its scholarship. He has returned to his old friends in Bloomsburg, who were able to offer him inducements that Indiana could not meet. They have known him always, and would stop at no honorable means to secure his return to his old place among them. But in love and appreciation of him who was our Doctor Waller, now theirs, we will “set our — feet as far as his who goes farthest.” Dr. Waller remained at Bloomsburg until 1920, when he retired after having given the school a total of twentyseven years of service. The Morning Press, in its issue of June 6, 1941, announced the retirement of Dr. Waller, and made the following comment: THE ALUMNI QUARTERLY, October, 1941 Page Six The Commencement Week program now on at the Bloomsburg State Normal School marks the last over which Dr. David J. Waller, Jr., will preside as principal of the school. His resignation is in the hands of the trustees of the school, and with the close of this term his active connection with the school will cease, although his interest will be as great as during the years in which he made it one of the best known educational institutions of the East. Although it is he, more than any other man, who has been responsible for the success of the institution, his interests have not alone been confined to the school which is largely the creature of his own brain and his own progressiveness. “He is the youngest old man I have ever known,” remarked a friend yesterday, but even the suggestion that Dr. Waller has passed the allotted three score and ten will come as a surprise to many. Bloomsburg has few men very, very few whose time has been so unstintingly at the call of every movement for town betterment. Altogether foreign to him is the conservatism of age. He is today a leader in every progressive movement; he grasps the situation and gets into action, while most men, many years his junior, deliberate. Yet so sound is his judgment that any movement with him as its sponsor is assured of success. Those who have come to know him intimately know how literally true every word of this is. In that his retirement from the onerous duties of the principalship of the Bloomsburg State — — Normal School does not imply his retirement from town activities, Bloomsburg is fortunate. As an educator, his work speaks for itself. With the exception of the years when he was State Superintendent of Public Instruction, and those spent as principal of the Indiana State Normal School, his life work has been linked with the Bloomsburg State Normal School. The fact that stands out the most prominently is the unanimous expression of opinion that “you can’t help doing the square thing when Dr. Waller puts it up to you. He’s square himself.” You will go far and not find finer praise than that from students. It speaks volumes. As outstanding as his ability, as those qualities which stamp the true leader and the Christian gentleman, is his modesty, as many know. But the severance of his connection with the institution in whose success he played such THE ALUMNI QUARTERLY, October, 1941 Page Seven a prominent part, town that What work think means so much cannot be passed it a is of those who here expressed few and to the know intimately of his : • By Whatever to the school in silence.

On October 11. est of 1878, it was my privilege to enter the under the management of the young and earnprincipal, then recently appointed, aided by a very S. N. S. able corps of faithful co-workers, all with exalted ideals of what a Normal School should be and do for its pupils. That principal at once won my respect, confidence, and affection as a teacher, because of his love for the work, his skill as a teacher, his personal interest in each student, and his exalted standards of character. He won the esteem and affection of the pupils because of his fairness to them, his absolute confidence in their integrity, and his honesty of purpose. When they stumbled, because of their want of maturity, or weakness, his keen understanding grasped the situation, his sympathy enfolded and helped them to firmer ground, and to better character development. And thus through all these years of the old regime, under his efficient management, the Bloomsburg school has stood more and more for character and steadfastness of purpose of the men and women whom it sends out. The world has been keen to recognize this in our pupils and quick to avail itself of them as superior workers. The boys told the truth and “did the squaie thing” because “Hawk Eye” (their familiar title for this beloved principal) expected it, trusted them, and would not tolerate a lie. And so the quiet influence of his life, his living, his standards, became the ideals of those living under him, subtle influence that continued to transform the lives of his pupils long after school days had ceased. He lived his ideals, and his pupils, catching the vision, grew like unto their dreams. Many are boys that he helped by his kindly encouragement, where he found them at their work after their Bloomsburg days, and the grime of toil and sordidness of the world had disheartened them from THE ALUMNI QUARTERLY, October, 1941 Commencement speaker Page Nine further effort, and with a few inspiring works of hope and cheer he set them again toward the goal with new vision and determination to make good. Many went on to college, who had almost sunk under burdens too great for them to bear. Many are the boys without opportunity, but ambitions, to whom he made possible the way to usefulness, honor, and service. What a privilege it has been all these years to work side by side with him in the school we love so well, because its policy, its work, its workers, have in a great measure been shaped by his wise counsel and generous spirit. His keen mind and sympathetic heart always enabled him to grasp the principles involved in any problem of administration, instruction, or discipline, and apply it in such a way as to make for the betterment of all concerned. Bloomsburg has been favored among institutions, in that for twenty-five vears it has had as its principal D. J. Waller, Jr. • • By George • E. Elwell Dr. D. J. Waller, Jr., retired from the principalship of the State Normal School after many years of admirable service in that capacity, and after an intimate acquaintance with the institution as a student, as a friend, and twice as its official head. He has known the school and displayed keen interest in it from the time when the corner-stone of the first building was laid, when it was the Bloomsburg Literary Institute, up to the present moment. What Dr. Waller and his co-workers have done for the school, the school has done for the town of Bloomsburg, which is now regarded as one of the strongest educational centers of the state. While his resignation is re- gretted by all, it is universally admitted that he has well earned the right to be relieved from cares and anxieties of the position, and it is a matter of congratulation that we shall still enjoy the privilege of having him in our midst, his home town. The school will indeed be fortunate if the trustees will find another Principal who can fill the place of David J. Waller, Jr. Through the years, Dr. Waller remained firm in his belief that the college on the hill stood as a monument to Professor Henry Carver more than to any other man. THE ALUMNI QUARTERLY, October, 1941 Page Ten This was a sincere token of his modesty. He credited Henry Carver, a pioneer in establishing the Bloomsburg Literary Institute on a firm basis, both scholastically and financially, with influencing his early career more than any other individual, as he did many of the young men whose lives he touched. The forerunner of the school itself was established in a building at Third and Jefferson Streets in 1839, seven years before Dr. Waller was born, but its life and his began to link together within a few years, and Dr. Waller iived through the century when its pioneering work was done. The first teacher left little mark, and C. P. Waller, an uncle of Dr. Waller, was the first one under whose guidance the school began to grow. After several years, during which the guiding hand was indifferent, Dr. Waller’s father, the Rev. D. J. Waller, sent him first to a Mrs. Drake, whose name was Snyder before her marriage. “Her school,” he once recalled, “was situated on Main Street, where Snyder’s Run crossed the street. The run had not been covered in that day, and an open bridge spanned the street. “Jim Ramsey, Dr. Ramsey’s son, Bill Abbott, and Bill Snyder I recall as other pupils,” he continued. “The seats faced the wall. I recall that when I went there the first day, I had not the least idea what to do.” “Mrs. Drake gave me a slate on which were rows of figures running into five numbers, and almost a foot long. She told me to add them up.” I did not know the first thing about addition. One of the boys did the problem, and I confess that I came off with flying colors on that first day. It was probably a bad start,” he chuckled with re- membrance. His first recollection of corporal punishment in the school was of the occasion when the teacher gave Bill Snyder a licking. Dr. Waller did not remain in the school long, but was next sent by his father to a classical school founded by B. F. Eaton in the Primitive Methodist Church at the corner of East Third and Iron Streets, now the site of St. Columba’s Church. Henry Carver visited Bloomsburg one day while on leave from the preparatory department of the University of California. He was persuaded to stay as principal, and he brought discipline and built the school to a preeminent THE ALUMNI QUARTERLY, October, 1941 Page Eleven position in this section. “That old academy building in Carver’s time,” Dr. Waller recalled, “had its length running parallel to Third Street. Of brick and two stories, it had a hall which ran through the middle of the first floor. In the rooms on that floor the lower grades were taught. The second floor was one large room.” Carver, who had only one arm, told the Board of Dilectors of the school that unless more adequate quarters were provided, he would not continue as principal. He planned two buildings. He came back with his plans. He told them that one of the buildings could be built for $15,000. They did not believe his figures. They wanted Carver, but they could not see that much money,” Dr. Waller said. “I’ll take the contract to build it myself for that figure,” Professor Carver stated. “They could not get away from that man.” And build it they did. He was largely responsible for raising the money. Building and furnishings cost $24,000. He kept in close touch with the subscriptions, and vyhen this or that subscription did not come up to the figure that he thought it ought to be, he would hitch up his horse, drive out to this or that farm, and raise the subscription. The man had an amazing personal magnetism. During those months of building, he was frequently away from the academy, and following devotional exercises he would announce “Mr. So-and-So will hear the : Latin class today, or the geometry class, whichever it might be. And the classes went ahead as systematically as though he were there with an eye on all proceedings. I mention that to give you the idea of the spirit with which he had filled the student body.” We had a bell on top of the old academy, and this was always rung for the exchange of classes by a boy employed for that purpose. During all that building period I never witnessed any disorder any shoving of shoulders and that sort of thing during all the class changes. Clint Swisher, from out near Jerseytown, and for many years a prominent university professor in Washington, D. C., George Elwell, Charles Unangst, and John Clark were among the boys then preparing for college. I recall that on one occasion John Clark thrust a meerschaum pipe under the nose of Clint Swisher, who always detested tobacco. He caught the pipe with his — — THE ALUMNI QUARTERLY, October, 1941 Page Twelve hand and threw it out the window. John walked quietly from the room, recovered his pipe and took his seat. Professor Carver came to hear of it when he came back to the Academy. It happened that I was the one who had been in charge at the time. The others escaped criticism, which was heaped on me, because 1 had not administered the proper punishment. It was a great day when we marched from the old Academy up the middle of the street trustees, faculty, and student body, headed by the Bloomsburg Band to the new building on the hill. It was to be some years later before it was known as Normal Hill. Even then we all recognized Professor Carver as the spark plug of the undertaking. “What about the story of the bell for Carver Hall, for which Charles Unangst, George Elwell, and yourself raised the money?” a reporter once asked him. Dr. Waller laughed. “That was more of the amazing magnetism of Henry Carver. His philosophy was that the individual could accomplish whatever he set out to do, if sufficiently determined. He had all the boys who expected to go on to college imbued with that idea. “It was just after the new building had been dedicated. The term had closed. Examinations were over. It was a Saturday morning, and we looked forward to the opening, on the following Monday, of our last term here before leaving for college. The three of us were walking together up Main Street. At the Episcopal Church corner we met Professor Carver, coming down town. — — “We stopped to talk. There was nothing we enjoyed more than being with him. “Well, there’s the new building and there’s the tower, boys,” he said. “But there is and a good one? bell in it. Now are we to have a bell want no cheap bell. The court house and the Presbywant one just as good, terian Church have good bells. if not better.

The little town became in- — no We We We We THE ALUMNI QUARTERLY, October, 1941 We Page Thirteen terested. As the hours wore on, everybody wanted to along. By nightfall we. had the money.” The bell, weighing 2,171 pounds, came later. The interviewer mentally pictured the spirit of that amazing community, a village not much more that a quarter of the size of the Bloomsburg of today, back in the days when there was very little money a community giving not only $24,000 to provide educational facilities for its youth, but topping it with a $1,200 gift in a oneday drive by a trio of boys. And back of it all, as Dr. Waller emphasized time and again, was the amazing spirit of this man Carver. State Superintendent of Public Instruction J. P. Wickersham, coming from Wilkes-Barre, chanced to note the beauty of the valley and the first building of the Bloomsburg Literary Institute on the hill. He stopped over in Bloomsburg, became more impressed with the possibilities of the school and its location, and took the initiative in suggesting that a normal school be added. That meant an additional building and more subscriptions. It was when the board had decided that they needed $70,000 for land and building that Henry Carver came along and took the contract to erect the building for $36,000. Again it was Henry Carver who was the mainspring back of the subscription drive. “I was in college when he left, but I never forgot the lessons of common sense and good order he left with me. “I was to see him later and to learn that he had duplicated in New Jersey the same remarkable things he had done here. I recall hearing that when he had a board of trustees there who hesitated to launch an undertaking to which he was committed, he pledged his word that if they carried through, he would have President Grant for the dedication. And he carried out his word. It was easy to get Dr. Waller to talk to Henry Carver, but he had little to say of the great part he played through twenty-seven years in spreading the name and fame of the Bloomsburg State Normal School. He had graduated from Lafayette College in 1870, and tutored there for a year, after which he attended the Union Theological Seminary, graduating there in 1874. During the year 1874-75, he became pastor of the Logan Square Presbyterian Church, Philadelphia, and there an epidemic of diphtheria swept through the family, costing know how we were coming — THE ALUMNI QUARTERLY, October, 1941 Page fourteen the life of a child fection. It and leaving Dr. Waller with a throat affor a time that he would do no more was feared public speaking. Mrs. Waller and he returned to Bloomsburg to recuperate. His condition improved and he was prevailed upon to take over the pastorate of the Orangeville, Rohrsburg and Raven Creek Presbyterian Churches. It was about a year and a half later that Mrs. Waller and he were driving to Bloomsburg and had reached the outskirts of the town, when Daniel A. Beckley, driving toward them, stopped his horse and remarked that he was on his way to see Dr. Waller at the time. Mr. Beckley had for a long time been a strong influence in the school. They arranged to meet at the home of Dr. Waller’s father, and there Mr. Beckley, on behalf of the board, offered him the principalship of the Bloomsburg State Normal School. There were considerations that inclined him to accept, but he was not willing to take up the work with the division then existing on the board. It was then that Judge Elwell jumped into the breach, and declared that the matter would be handled. There was submitted to Dr. Waller a letter in Judge El well’s handwriting, agreeing that if he would accept the principalship there would never be a line of division on the board. That promise was kept to the letter. The letter itself is still in existence. For the next thirteen years Dr. Waller was the principal. These were years which, as history records, were filled with steady development of the school. Then he resigned to accept the position of Superintendent of Public Instruction. The following editorial appeared in the Bloomsburg Morning Press in the issue of June 30: The death of the Rev. Dr. David J. Waller, Jr., in his ninety-sixth year early Saturday morning, removes the last member of a pioneer Bloomsburg family, and one that, through its various members, has left an indelible impress upon the life of the community. Dr. Waller’s passing was not unexpected. His condition had been serious, even before he celebrated the ninety-fifth anniversary of his birth on June 17th, an event he desired to commemorate. Dr. Waller will be remembered for his fine qualities as a man, a citizen, and a father, but, possibly more than anything else, he will be remembered for the great part THE ALUMNI QUARTERLY, October. 1941 : Page Fifteen he played in the development of the Bloomsburg State Teachers College of today. Through twenty-seven years, which spanned both of his administrations here, he influenced the lives of thousands of students with whom he came in contact. That influence was reflected in later years, when his presence at the institution on Alumni Day attracted his former students by the hundreds. Dr. Waller was a great educator, an outstanding citizen with full appreciation of his responsibilities to others, and a very fine gentleman. Few have ever been cast in the same mold. Funeral services for Dr. Waller were held Monday, June 30, at the late residence on Market Street. Burial took place in the family plot in Old Rosemont Cemetery. The Rev. Harry K. Franks, pastor of the Church of Christ, Bloomsburg, and the Rev. Dr. Robert Anthony, retired, of New York, were in charge of the services. o column “Twenty-five years ago” in the July 1 Morning Press appears the following item “The deed for the transfer of the title for the Bloomsburg State Normal School to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania was recorded yesterday (June 30, 1916), and with the recording of that deed the control of the institution passed from the corporation to the Commonwealth of In the issue of the The consideration was $10,000, with the Commonwealth carrying in addition the nineteen mortPennsylvania. gages against the institution.

Young, ler ’80 David Jewett Waller, Jr., son of David Jewett Waland Julia (Ellmaker) Waller, was born in Blooms- burg, Pennsylvania, June, 1846. Entering Lafayette College as a sophomore, he was graduated in 1870, then tutored for about a year in his Alma Mater, and was there given his master’s degree in 1873. In the meantime he pursued theological studies in Princeton and Union, and was graduated from the latter in 1874. The same year he was married to Miss Anna Appleman, of Bloomsburg, and was also ordained a Presbyterian minister. He served pastorates in Philadelphia and Orangeville for three years, until called to the principalship of the Bloomsburg State Normal School in the fall of 1877. He served as such until 1890, when appointed State Superintendent of Public Instruction of his State. After three years of service in that capacity, he became principal of the State Normal School at Indiana, Pennsylvania, and held that position until 1906, when again called to the Principalship of the Bloomsburg Normal, where he continued until his resignation in 1920. He served his State as presidential elector in 1908; is a member of the Pennsylvania chapter of the Sons of the Revolution; of the Phi Beta Kappa fraternity, and was a trustee of Lafayette College 1891-1919. Still a resident of his native town, where, as a young man, he assisted in securing funds for erecting the Bloomsburg Literary Institute building, forerunner of the State Normal School, he was from his early deeply interested in education as he years. His interest has increased rather than diminished. Not by previous plan, rather contrary to it, his career has been primarily and essentially that of is an educator. He was an educator from the beginning, though he may not have been conscious of the fact. As an educational worker he has never been a drudge. He had difficulties to meet, it is true, and he met them; he found obstacles, and he overcame or removed FOOTNOTE — This Alumni Quarterly tribute deserves to biography of Dr. Waller was published in the August, 1927. We feel that this fine be reprinted at this time. in the issue of THE ALUMNI QUARTERLY, October, 1941 Page Seventeen them he met harrassing experiences, and he confronted them squarely. But his work was never drudgery. He had the spirit of the real educator, and it was in that spirit that he met events and people. For his vision was broad enough to make him sym; pathetic with many and diverse lines in life. Frequently, and all too true, is the charge made against present-day college professors that they are narrow, that each sees only the one subject assigned to him, and that while he looks at his one specialty the world passes on and he is On the contrary, Doctor Waller left standing alone. found life in many — directions, found it all about him and conditions in the hills and the trees, in the flowers and the fields and the rivers. But over and above all he found it in men and women, and chiefly in youth. He well knew that life’s fullest expression was to be found in all that goes to make up the individual’s finest activities, and the community’s well-being in its fullest, most fundamenin all tal meaning. Besides this broad view of life, there was a depth of it all that was even more animating and which penetrated the inner recesses of other souls. It gave him his grip on individuals, on trying situations, on communities. It was his capacity for seeing things as they are, rather than as he might think they should be, and making the most of it, that gave him a reputation for that sanity which created in the community a full confidence in his judgment. It was in the school community in the restricted sense that his characteristics shone in greatest splendor. Yet so far was he from being puffed up over accomplishment that there was no more humble among all the soul in recipients of his largess than he. He would bestow freely, and then forget about it. In these matters his left hand knew not what his right hand was doing. I speak of intellectual and spiritual matters, though in others he was abundant. He had, too, that rare insight into human motives which enabled him to know human character a prime requisite for a genuine teacher. Says one who, for many years was associated with him in educational work “I remember with greatest satisfaction his reverence and respect for childhood and youth (always without sentimentality,) his appreciation of youth’s point of view and spir- — : THE ALUMNI QUARTERLY, October, 1941 : Page Eighteen — of fun, always ready to help on with the same a silent partner; his readiness to accept a student’s word with it understanding and sympathy; his keen and humorous of his foibles, strength and weakness; never bitter in his judgments, yet with a Jovelike flash of condemnation when he found an attempt on the paid of a rogue to impose upon his confidence, that analysis and appreciation really awe-inspiring .... You remember the flash of indignation at untruthfulness, dishonorable conduct and meanness, especially if it was a ‘bluff’ attempt to defend the position. Then, too, his readiness to help the culprit forgiving and forgetting, out of an anomolous position when true nobility rose above the deed done in thoughtless push of youth.” Nor did he fail to encourage every aspiration of every young man or young woman looking toward the field of wider usefulness. He understood that each stood on his own merit. He had that intuition which led the great Thomas Arnold to accept each as an individual he knew that each had a responsibility that could not be evaded. He believed in groups but he was too wise to believe that great or penetrating ideas originate in groups. He knew the dynamic energy of a worth-while idea and that such an idea grows in the individual mind originates there, germinates there, and there fructifies. And in this day of groups and blocs, it is refreshing to hark back to the yesterday when he grasped the true social theory that the individual mind, and that only, gives initiative to that which groups may carry to execution. If history teaches anything it is the great fact of individual responsibility for progress in the race and he never ceased to drive home to the individual his personal responsibility. It was this that would lead him to select one of a group who would naturally influence the group. For he knew that while the student must be an individualist he must at the same time be something more must be an important factor in the community of which he was, and was to be, a part; must labor for and with that community, not as a consumer of what that community produced, but as a producer of the chief elements vital to that community’s highest welfare. Not all of these ideals were present to the eye of the student while coming into immediate and personal contact with Doctor Waller; but with the lapse of years and was — ; ; — ; THE ALUMNI QUARTERLY, October, 1941 Page Nineteen with the proper perspective which followed, it all became clear. Nor is it all seen in a single incident, neither in several disconnected incidents. But if one will begin with the letters he, as a prospective student, received from the Principal of the Bloomsburg State Normal School beside these will place in mind the seemingly unimportant incidents of the Normal days in which the Principal figured then the one or more letters of encouragement received from the Principal in the doubtful months, perhaps years, after concluding the Normal work; and then, once more, will glance back over the intervening years since, whether they be long or short, and will seek to grasp its full meaning in a short pause in the world’s onward rush then, and then only, is Doctor Waller revealed so largely as the central figure in the whole panorama of the individual’s ; ; — life. He is an idealist, always has been — a practical ideal- the highest sense. He has always been a builder, a constructionist in applied education. And in this day of much loose thinking on nationalism and internationalism, the recollection of what he has stood for has a steadying influence. Liberal toward young men and women who erred in matters of discretion, but not of intent, he never tolerated a spirit of insubordination a bright contrast with that group of thinkers who sneer at history, cast ugly reflections upon men who have made history, jeer at the most sacred of memories, and teach that so-called self-expression is the proper substitute for discipline and obedience to law they, alleged liberals, most arbitrary of men he, a strict disciplinarian, most liberal of men in dealing with youth; their tendency destructive, his positive constructive with well-laid foundations. As a teacher he was eager to grow and point the ist in — : way ; of growth. He found relish in making known to his fellow workers his special finds, wh ether of books, papers, or experiences evidences of an enlarging teacher to the end of his teaching career, a real companion to the real teacher. He possessed a deep interest in books the best books and literature and sought to inculcate such interI distinctly remember four books est in his students. which Doctor Waller brought to my attention at periods covering a year of my course, all high-grade books of which I previously knew nothing. Another occasion in a — — THE ALUMNI QUARTERLY, — October, 1941 Page Twenty brief conversation, he related the incident of a gentleman of some note, who, while waiting for an appointment he was to meet, picked up a new book at hand and began going through it paragraph by paragraph, and by the time the other party was ready to see him he had the book’s contents so well in mind that he gave an intelligent review of it. Then Doctor Waller added: “Some people read word by word, some by sentences, some by paragraphs, while others almost have to spell it out.’’ It was all given in such an unsophisticated manner, with no suggestion of an attempt at teaching, that the naturalness of it all left the deeper impression. Within a year or two he has called my attention to other books he has read with zest, which have since found a resting place on my shelves. Another of his students, later a prominent teacher on the Principal’s staff, writes: “He did more than any other man or teacher in shaping my entire life’s reading (in shaping my life, too, for that matter) in a classroom talk on books, reading, taste, etc., and in a general outline he gave at the time, before our departure from school in 1879.” But, lest too great credit be accorded him, it should be added that he inherited richly himself. Coming down through a line of educated men and educators Elder Brewster of Puritan fame, and Harvard, Williams and Princeton men he belonged to what is sometimes called “aristocracy of intellect” some writers the upper class enjoy terming it today. We may not credit him with the inheritance; but we should not omit to credit him with what he cultivated and developed in himself, and sought to cultivate and develop in others. For there never came into his presence one so lowly or crude, if but with proper aspirations, that he did not reach down to assist; nay, put himself on the level of the other, gripped and lifted him. But he never lowered the standard. As the outstanding distant mountain peak rises to greater height and draws nearer as the observer takes higher ground, so did Doctor Waller. It is the things which he undertook to develop in others that are highly significant of his single purpose in life to bring out the best there was in young men and women. This he did in no formal, ceremonious manner. He did it less by precept than by example. He spoke the word in season, but the more impressive way was always — —— — THE ALUMNI QUARTERLY, October, 1941 : Page Twenty-One to the fore. perceptible was the seemingly insignificant, almost imways that the impression was made. The It was never peremptory, but the results were momentous; and they were as diverse as the types of individual with which he had to deal. Said one who had been under the Principal’s influence for a year: “I went back to the farm from school at harvest time, and if I missed a stalk of grain in the reaping I would stop the team, get off the machine, and get that stalk, believing that Professor Waller would not approve that kind of workmanship.” Others found themselves imitating his physical movements. All sought to adjust their own to his erect, manly, dignified bearing. Indeed, it was no uncommon experience at class reunions of Bloomsburg Normal graduates to hear them relate in what particular they found themselves seeking not seeking, but doing it unto emulate their Principal consciously. If these characteristics were so freely followed, these rather more outward forms, it takes no philosopher to understand that the inner forces were deeply at work creating those secret but more coercive currents of thought and life which constitute the real individual. It was this, perhaps, that led one student who sat under the instruction of and came into vital contact with Professor Waller, and later sat under the eminent Mark Hopkins, to write that however much the latter meant to James A. Garfield, the former meant as much to this student. It was the finest qualities that give life its richness, which were always flowing from Doctor Waller’s personality. And when we undertake to gauge a man’s accomplishments and worth in life, we fail utterly if we leave out of the calculation the imponderables; and these are not subject to the rules of mathematics. While we are a part of all we have ever met, we carry with us through life much more of the aroma of one life than of another. Indeed, it is the spiritual side of life which leaves the affluence which accompanies ever after. This was the pervasive flavor which was carried away by contact with style — Doctor Waller, who, by his saying own life, seemed to be always strong, my comrade that you may stand Unshaken when 1 fall that I may know The shattered fragments of my song will come At last to full melody in yours.” “Grow . . . ; THE ALUMNI QUARTERLY, October, 1941 Page Twenty-Two These incidents suggest a matter of primary significance to the teacher: The overwhelming influence of one who is balanced in his whole life physical, intellectual, spiritual. Admiration and affection have left their — deepest impress upon the many thousands who came di- rectly under Doctor Waller’s influence, and from that influence have gone into the world’s battles for truth and honor and justice, chiefly through educational channels, but in practically every line of human endeavor. The attitude of his former students toward him personally and toward his aims and accomplishments is well expressed in the words on a permanent tablet placed in one of the buildings of the State Normal School at Bloomsburg and unveiled in June, 1921: 1920 1870 TRUTH AND VIRTUE PRESENTED TO THE BLOOMSBURG STATE NORMAL SCHOOL BY ITS ALUMNI TO COMMEMORATE THE GRADUATION OF ITS 50TH CLASS OF TEACHERS, AND THE 44 YEARS OF EDUCATIONAL SERVICE TO THE COMMONWEALTH OF DAVID JEWETT WALLER, JR. AS PRINCIPAL OF THE STATE NORMAL SCHOOLS AT BLOOMSBURG AND AT INDIANA, AND AS STATE SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION. WITH CULTURE AND EFFICIENCY AS EDUCATIONAL AIMS, HE PLACED CHARACTER, HONOR, RIGHT LIVING, AND HIGH IDEALS ABOVE EVERY MATERIAL SUCCESS. THE ALUMNI QUARTERLY, October, 1941 Page Twenty-Three The student who left the halls of learning where he was made tougher in his intellectual, moral and spiritual fiber, the more capable of initiating and carrying on. Gentle as a child, the Principal was bold as a lion in meeting a crisis; nor did his courage lead him into unwarranted paths. With prudence and utter courtesy to all, even led provoker of disturbances, he never flinched when faced by turbulent spirits. With it all, he held in slight regard the capacity of a young man who would attempt a prank and had not the character to give it point. On the other hand, he showed a winning respect for the man who could work a trick and turn it well, even if for the moment it placed the Principal in an embarrassing position. Those who witnessed the event will not forget the calmness which met the entire school one bright June morning when gathered in the assembly hall for chapel and all the chairs were missing all but one; and the quiet announcement by the Principal that, since there were no chairs, the school would stand during worship. It was the writer’s roommate, Norman H. Smith, who had directed the chairs to their hiding place under the rostrum a fact made public after graduation. Mr. Smith has recently written the present writer: “Sure, you can have the story of the hiding of the chairs. It has been so long ago that I thought everybody had forgotten all about it. One afternoon, just before our senior examination, with nothing much to do, a warm and humid day, I fell asleep and dreamed. In my dreams I saw the chairs go marching around the chapel. They came to me for direction, and were steered to the belfry and out on the roof surrounding it. There they had a war dance. At this point I was aroused from my dream by the call for the closing of the afternoon school. I called a council of war of trusted advisers. We agreed that we could put the chairs around the belfry that night. But the belfry door v/ould not open. It was 1 :30 a. m., and each said he had left his roommate sound asleep. We put them under the rostrum instead. We never worked harder in our lives and at 3 a. m. we were all back in our beds.’’ Diary record shows that six days later Mr. Smith was taken so ill that he had to go home, whether because of troubled conscience over the hiding of the chairs or because he was appointed valedictorian of his class is not to the — — THE ALUMNI QUARTERLY, October, 1941 Page Twenty-Four disclosed in the record but he has done penance for over forty years since as a Methodist minister. In referring to the incident many years afterward Doctor Waller remarked that he knew that the master in the prank was a man with a sense of honor, for the one chair allowed to remain was that of a young woman who was lame. Immediately chapel was over, the engineer and every other employee were set the task of locating the chairs, with but negative result, until at the opening of the afternoon session of the school, as Doctor Waller was ascending the steps to the platform he observed that the carpet at one spot was not lying as usual on the platform, and a telltale loose tack “let the cat out of the bag.” He had the true clue. Three distinct traits were brought to the front in connection with this single incident: His perfect self-control in an emergency; his keenness of observation in detecting the manner in which the small portion of the carpet was laid and his appreciation of a trick well planned and well executed, the severest ever coming to my ears being “Make N. H. Smith explain at your class reunion how he got so many chairs into so small a space in so short a time.” In practical matters Doctor Waller manifested a combination of intelligence, common-sense, temper, and patience that w as fascinating. There came the troop of new students each year from city, town and farm, from river valley and back hills, from woods and mines. In their aims they were about as fine a combination as they were diverse in their urbanity. The Bloomsburg School, delightfully located on The Hill, was never advertised as a “School to Teach Refined Manners.” Rather, announcement in early issues of the catalogue, about a dozen of which, 1877-1890, the writer has in his library bound in one robust volume, states in the beginning that “The Normal School is established to prepare pupils for the profession of teaching;” and closes with the statement that “Thoroughness in discipline and instruction we consider objects of primary importance,” telling a large part of the story of the Principal’s eminent success. At the same time, where is the student who came into contact with Principal Waller that did not feel the refining and inspiring influence ? As an administrator he was seldom surpassed. This ; ; : r r THE ALUMNI QUARTERLY, October, 1941 Page Twenty-Five in part due to a rare insight into human motives that enabled him to analyze them promptly. If a combination ot motives complicated a situation, he would unravel thread by thread the tangled skein until the whole was laid out in full view. He did not hurry a difficult situation his conclusion was almost invariably unerring. Nor was any more ready to make reparation for error. His uniform courtesy was as effective as it was unassuming, and his tact only strengthened his position. In the little jarring between groups, as in the literary societies in the early days, when a dispute was referred to him he discreetly asked the two sides to get together in a compromise when no principle would be sacrificed, making them feel that the responsibility was theirs. In case they failed to agree and the responsibility was thrust upon him he accepted it and met it squarely. It was then clear that he was then master of a situation which he had not cre- was ; ated. In operation he ran about as true to Nature’s form as did any man: “Never hasting, never wasting.’’ His opening of a term of school was the starting of the machinery with the least possible friction; and the smoothness with which it operated is a satisfaction to remember through the decades. When his day’s work was done at the school, he threw off the anxieties and found rest and recuperation in his own family wife and seven children. Here, too, he accepted his full responsibility as one of a community of social beings. His family life typical of all other relationships, all things worked to perfect a combination that made him the wise counsellor and efficient administrator — he was. A constant student of education and affairs, in which even as an octogenarian, is at top notch, he had that broad vision which helped him to lay well the foundations of a wise educational system for his State. It is difficult to realize that a century ago there was no such thing as special training for teachers at public expense. Yet it was at the beginning of the second half of this period that Doctor Waller entered upon his public duties as a leader in such special training. And his twenty-seven years as Principal at Bloomsburg, thirteen years as Principal at the Indiana State Normal and his three years as State Superintendent of Public Instruction gave him an insight into educational methods and needs that his interest, THE ALUMNI QUARTERLY, October, 1941 Page Twenty-Six few men in America have had and his quick grasp and ready executive capacity enabled him to make effective application of his knowledge. While the Bloomsburg School grew large in numbers and material equipment under his administration, it was the matter of the deeper concerns of education that mat; tered most. This latter the rich impress of his character supplied. His earnestness was in evidence at every turn. Tall, slender, erect, of manly but easy bearing, his enunciation distinct, with a well-modulated voice of strength and carrying quality, it was a pleasure to listen to him at any time in public. But who that heard, can forget the challenge to richer living and better service in his very reading on Baccalaureate Sunday of the hymn, Lord of all being, throned afar, glory flames from sun and star? Thy So much was his heart set upon the thoroughness of preparation of the teacher for his task, and then the utmost application to that task, that it was a principle of his to rely upon the product of the school for advertising the worth of the institution. His ideas as to personal publicity are in the same vein. He has no relish for being advertised, and deprecates rather than enhances his own accomplishments. When the student wrote him of his worth to that student as compared with Dr. Hopkins’ worth to Garfield, his sole comment was “I do not deserve it.” When he discovered that his sketch was being prepared, he said “It seems to me that the time for publishing anything further concerning me will be after I shall have passed on.” This is a spirit to be commended, but one which is rather unique among public men. A favorite hour each week, remembered by hundreds of students, was that of the Sunday afternoon Bible class conducted for students resident on the grounds by Doctor Waller in the dormitory cnapel during the quiet hour. This was a distinct aid to those students who taught classes in the Sunday Schools of the town. No record was kept, and it was open to all who chose to attend. In this class was laid the foundation of Christian principles upon which a considerable number of students, after a few years of teaching in the public schools of the State, built for the ministry. As with all his other work, : THE ALUMNI QUARTERLY, October, 1941 — Page Twenty-Seven Doctor Waller’s effort here was plain, open, without mystery or peremptoriness, and without the slightest tinge of professionalism. It brought the Principal very close, in an inspirational way, to those present; it also taught those who attended a deeper respect for Doctor Waller’s high purpose in life and for his many-sided capacity. As a resume of our subject 1 quote the same authority previously quoted As an administrator he was liberal, moderately aggressive, never unsafe. He would think through a movement or problem, see the end from the beginning, and when a change was made, it was right. So he rarely or never needed to go back to rectify mistakes. : His co-workers could depend on him and his cooperaPeople who lacked good judgment or were erratic had to face the effects of their mistakes frankly, but sympathetically. If they could rise to the situation, well; if not, they knew in their hearts the truth of their weakness, whether they acknowledged it or not. His students must absolutely have a square deal, and a frank, free hearing in the presence of their accusers a thoroughly Anglo-Saxon procedure. There was usually no appeal from his judgment when given, unless new evidence came in. Whatever he taught or prepared for presentation was worth while, and the latest word. And it was usually presented with a dignified, yet boyish, simplicity and enthusiasm. He lived so consistently and pre-eminently what he taught that one gladly accepted it, and especially was this true in his student Bible Class and Sunday School work. His chapel exercise, Bible readings, and talks were tion. models of conciseness, and a lasting inspiration He made — to his alone his presence, his participation, his spirit the exercises worth while. And back of it all were his sincerity, earnestness, wise presentation, entire absence of cant or pretense in any form. No man ever brought out the lessons of the Old Testament with the power and convincing reality, the humanness, that he did. His faculty and students hung upon his words and accepted his judgments in matters of morals, manners, habits, character-building or training in the school, as those of an expert, who knew “whereof he spoke.” His grip on the school, community, faculty, lay in students. — THE ALUMNI QUARTERLY, October, 1941 Page Twenty-Eight extreme reasonableness, ever reaching out to find the principle underlying every situation. His fairness, sincerity, intelligent grasp, his catholicity, his open-mindedness, his tolerance, his steadfastness, his geniality, his evenness of temper these were powerful factors entering into his grasp of any situation. Then, in something akin to a postscript, this authority warns the present writer that our subject as a man, a teacher, a friend, makes the English vocabulary look rather inadequate, and adds: “Superlatives will spoil the subject-matter and be in bad taste besides; while ordinary words are tame and weak.” Thus the reader will understand the dilemma which I stated in the opening paragraphs: An agreeable subject, but difficult to avoid adulhis — ation. It has been asked why Doctor Waller never became the head of a college. Perhaps it were better to ask why he should, when he had within his grasp the preparation of those who go out to teach the finest of the wheat. And his influence through these prepared teachers going out into an ever-widening circle, until it touches the farflung reaches of mountain and valley, city and prairie of this makes a life the whole land, even to other lands full and fruitful and melodious to his youthful old age. — — And thousands rise up and call him blessed. “Out where the hand clasp’s a little stronger, Out where the smile dwells a little longer, That’s where the West begins.” And that’s where Doctor Waller begins, but he does not end there. Announcement has recently been made of the marriage of Ruth Oswald, of Mahanoy City, and Karl Olson, formerly of Wilkes-Barre. The marriage took place in the Holy Century Reformed Church at Winchester, Virginia. Mrs. Olson had been serving as a teacher in the Mahanoy Township Schools, teaching music in the St. Nicholas Elementary School. Mr. Olson is employed by the N. P. Epstein Company, of Scranton. They are living at 927 West Center Street, Mahanoy City. THE ALUMNI QUARTERLY, October, 1941 Page Twenty-Nine “AN APPRECIATION” Out of the goodness of their hearts, the Editors of the Quarterly have asked me to prepare for the October issue, an appreciation of Dr. David J. Waller, Jr., as an Alumnus of the school and as its Principal for twentyseven years. This is a difficult assignment. For any one to justly evaluate the many fine qualities that distinguished him as a leader of young men and women, is no easy task. His service of twenty-seven years was given in two periods, the first of thirteen years and the second of fourteen years. As an Alumnus of the school, graduating in the Class was ever its most loyal and devoted supporter. His counsels were always wise, sane and sensible, and had of 1867, he as their only purpose, the general upbuilding and betterof the institution. His first term as Principal began in September, 1877, ment and continued until 1890, when he was appointed by the Governor of the State as Superintendent of Public Instruction. On that same September morning there came to the school as members of the Faculty, Prof. William Noetling, Prof. George E. Wilbur, Prof. H. A. Curran and Miss Mary L. Hastings. On that morning, too, Prof. O. H. Bakeless and I, together with some dozen other boys came as students, coming from Prof. Noetling’s Snyder County Summer Normal School in Selinsgrove. Dr. Waller accepted the State Superintendency, after serving as Principal of our Normal School for thirteen years, he was succeeded by Dr. J. P. Welsh. Dr. Welsh served as Principal for sixteen years, when Dr. Waller was again invited by the Board of Trustees to become its Principal for a second time. This was a most splendid and well deserved compliment for Dr. Waller and gladly hailed by every graduate of the institution, who knew him. When Dr. Waller left the State Superintendency, he became Principal of the State Normal School in Indiana, Pa., and came from that position to again serve his Alma Mater. His term of service now was fourteen years. He then resigned because he had attained the age limit fixed by the state for all teachers. Almost every phase of education has undergone many changes and modifications in the past sixty years. I will note but two and these have to do mainly with the When THE ALUMNI QUARTERLY, October, 1941 Page Thirty- moral and spiritual welfare of student life. From 1877 to about 1920 Morning Chapel exercises were held for all the students. Attendance upon these exercises was not optional. Every student was to be in his or her seat every morning unless they could present a most valid excuse. The faculty too, was expected to be present and occupied seats on the Chapel platform. Students were not permitted to attend Sunday evening church services in the town, but an evening song and praise service was held each Sunday in the Chapel for the student body. Attendance here was optional, but to the credit of the student body it should be said that the great majority attended these services regularly. Then too, Dr. Waller conducted a Bible Study Class each Sunday afternoon, presenting in his forceful way, some great Bible truth. These meetings were optional but I can well recall, that there were at times large numbers of students and teachers who chose to attend. If a strictly persona opinion is permissible in such an “Appreciation” as this, I desire to say that Dr. D. J. Waller was in every way a most remarkable man. He was a kind and indulgent father, a devout and sincere man of God, a progressive and enthusiastic citizen, and he was my closest friend. How I do and shall miss him! 1 , Very respectfully, CHARLES • • H. ALBERT. • In reply to your invitation to all who wish to write a tribute to Dr. Waller for the October issue of The Quarterly, I take pleasure in submitting a few words. It was at the opening of the school year, August, 1879, at the Bloomsburg State Normal School, that I first met “Professor” Waller, as he was then designated, though I had had some correspondence with him leading up to my entrance at this time. He, with his family, was then occupying rooms in the dormitory where out-of-town students roomed and took meals. He was the head of a dining table. At my first meal there I was seated at his immediate left and a new lady teacher directly opposite me. It was my first experience away from home and close relatives; and I was a green country boy from the Blue Hill farm opposite Northumberland. It was almost too much for me. I did not enjoy the meal. But I saw that the head of the table THE ALUMNI QUARTERLY, October, 1941 Page Thirty-One was aware ation and of did. my timidity and knew how to meet the situ- From that hour Dr. Waller never diminished in my esteem. On the contrary he grew constantly. This was one of the prime characteristics of the man. An incident of unusual occurrence brought me closer than ever to the man. One morning at two o’clock he had to have his team hitched up and drive away in his carriage, and the day previous asked me whether I could be up to help him. He could not well have conferred upon me a greater honor. He taught a Bible class Sunday afternoons in the chapel of the dormitory and 1 always made it a point to be in that class. He was a superb teacher. In the regular normal course of study his subject was psychology. It was when a picnic for the school was held in an out-of-door spot, fall of 1879, that his hold on me became more firm. His informality and readiness to assist in making the event a matter to be remembered through the years impressed me as I never expected to be impressed by the head of a great educational institution. What was the big factor in Dr. Waller’s make-up? What was it that gave him so large a place in the souls and lives of those who came under his deep influence? It was his unruffled, penetrating personality, his readiness to enter into the lives of others by hearing, with all patience, their problems and personal difficulties, and then, as if they were his own problems and difficulties, givingprudent advice. He had the genuine Christian spirit. It was a great privilege I had of sitting under the instruction of the noted teacher and philosopher, Mark Hopkins; but Dr. Waller exerted upon my life a larger influence than any other person I ever contacted.

I have often marvelled at his great personal kindliness toward us, his students. For instance, he used to leave his home on rainy Sunday afternoons and come up the hill to read to us, and I never have forgotten his reading of the life of Jerry McCauley. Nor could I forget the little incident that occurred on his return from a trip to Europe. I was a very unsophisticated little country girl, who had been in the school but a short time. His home-coming was a great occasion, and the whole student body went to the station to meet him. Finally an opportunity came for me to take his hand. I knew he would not remember me, but what was my joy when he called me by my first name!

G. THE ALUMNI QUARTERLY, BLAIR SHAFER, October, 1941 ’ll. Page Thirty -Three My sister, Eleanor Hayman and 1, of the class of 1890, were fortunate in having Dr. David J. Waller, Jr., as our instructor and principal while we were students in the Bloomsburg State Normal School. He exerted a cultural, educational, and spiritual influence which entered into the lives of all the students with whom he came in contact. As he led the morning chapel exercises in the auditorium, his unfailing prayer for the assembled students was “Give them high ideals of character and conduct” a prayer which we shall always remember. Along with his teaching, he took occasion to give much valuable advice. He advised us never to send out a letter which we had written without first having read — it over. One morning, after two students had almost been asphyxiated from a leaking gas jet, because they were not sleeping with their windows open, Dr. Waller admonished us of the necessity of sleeping with open windows, both as a matter of health and of safety. When the languid days of spring came, he advised as a remedy for preventing “spring fever,” to drink, each morning, the juice of a lemon in a glass of cold water. He constantly advocated neatness and bodily cleanliness. When the school year was drawing to a close, and many graduates would go out to take up their mission of teaching, he told us that some would find themselves located in districts where the homes did not have modern conveniences, but that hindrance should not be allowed to interfere with the customary frequent bath. Dr. Waller appeared before his students, not only as an executive, a firm disciplinarian, but also as an occasional entertainer I recall his giving, one evening, before the student body, a lecture on his recent summer visit to the Yellowstone National Park. On that occasion, he wore evening clothes and a boutonniere, in compliment to his audience, and his charming descriptions ratives, mixed with humor, delighted all. and nar- when la grippe made its appearance and an epidemic of the disease was threatened among the dormitory students.

On Sunday evenings, Dr. Waller taught at the dormitory a Bible class of young men and women who did not choose to attend evening services in the downtown churches. In fact, many preferred to remain at the school for his deep and spiritual interpretation of the Scripture. At the last of these meetings, just before the commencement season, Dr. Waller, who was also a minister of the Presbyterian Church, and a Doctor of Divinity, pronounced upon us his benediction. In those days, autograph albums were a fad. My sister and I had one, bound in red plush, and in them we procured the autograph of our B. S. N.

MAUDE SMITH • • FAUSEL, ’87. • It is hard to describe fittingly the unique combination of elements that constituted the mortal embodiment of him whom we knew and revered and loved as Dr. Waller. During his long, active and blessed life, he stood on an eminence, shedding light upon the paths of his fellowmen, extending to them the warmth of his guiding hand, and bringing solution to their perplexities. The great qualities which he possessed can never perish. Indeed, we may say of him in the words with which Tacitus closes his beautiful life of Agricola: “The excellencies which chiefly attracted our love and our admiration will not perish forever, but they will live for many years in the memories of his friends and in the records of his fame.” BERNARD • • Once or twice within the J.

THE ALUMNI QUARTERLY, October, 1941 W. Page Thirty-Six RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES In the passing of Dr. David Jewett Waller, Jr., the State Teachers College at Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania, has lost its most illustrious alumnus. As the last surviving member of the first class graduated from the Bloomsburg Literary Institute, he witnessed and was responsible for many different phases of the development of the institution now known as the State Teachers College. If our educational institution is the lengthening shadow of one man, that man was Dr. David Jewett Waller, scholar, educator and lover of youth. Jr. His long service as the President of two of the leading State Normal Schools in Pennsylvania, and as State Superintendent of Public Instruction, are only a few of the high points of an educational character that has been unequalled in the history of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. As Principal of the Bloomsburg State Normal School for two periods, amounting to twenty-seven years, his guiding hand was responsible for many of the achieve- — ments which have made this institution noteworthy. In the years following his retirement in 1920, he continued ever to be interested in the college, and in his ninety-fourth year attended a meeting of the College Alumni of Columbia County, where his presence was sufficient to bring together the largest group of local Alumni that had assembled in many years. Mindful of the long association of Doctor Waller with the Bloomsburg Literary Institute, State Normal School, and State Teachers College, the Board of Trustees gratefully records its appreciation of his accomplishments and fine example by adopting the following: BE IT RESOLVED, that We, on behalf of the Bloomsburg State Teachers College, hereby attest to the inspiration and spirit which Doctor Waller brought to all of the activities of the college, and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that a copy of this resolution be spread upon the Minutes of this organization, and that a copy be sent to Doctor Waller’s family as a testimonial of our sincere appreciation of his faithfulness, not only as an outstanding Educator and Loyal Alumnus of the State Teachers College, but also as a Citi- zen of Bloomsburg. THE ALUMNI QUARTERLY, October, 1941 Page Thirty-Seven HOME-COMING DAY The annual Home-Coming Day will take place at the College Saturday, November 1. Many alumni will arrive the night before, and during the morning. The first event of the day’s program will be the luncheon in the diningroom at noon. In the afternoon, the main attraction will be the football game between Bloomsburg and Kutztown. Following the game, there will be an inspection of the new gymnasium, in use for the first time this year. Tea will be served in the new gymnasium instead of the old gymnasium a change from the procedure followed in previous years. In the evening the Home-Coming dinner will be served in the dining-room and the Alumni Dance will be held at 8:30 P. M. in the new gymnasium. The Trustees, faculty, and student body of the College extend a very cordial invitation to all alumni to return to the campus, where every effort will be made to make the day a happy one. A feature of the Home-Coming Day activities will be the presentation to the College of a painting “Minnesota in August,” by Adolph Dehn. This painting is to be a memorial to Miss Irma Ward, former dietitian at the College. The subject of the painting is very appropriate, as Minnesota was Miss Ward’s native state. The funds for the purchase of the painting were raised by a group of alumni, most of whom had worked with Miss Ward in the college dining-room and kitchen. The same group has also raised a fund to be known as the Irma Ward Fund, the purpose of which is to provide small temporary loans for special emergencies. A definite plan for administering the fund thru the Alumni Association details will be announced later. Any Alumni who wish further information, or wish to contribute to the Ward Fund, should communicate with Raymond Hodges, 901 West Franklin Street, Rich- — ; mond, Virginia. o Kathryn Loose Sutliff, a former member of the College faculty, lives at 228 North 26th Street, Camp Hill, Pa. o Matilda Black (Mrs. J. O. Matter) lives in Centralia. THE ALUMNI QUARTERLY, October, 1941 Page Thirty-Eight COLLEGE OPENING DELAYED The opening of the College for the first semester, originally scheduled for September 18, was postponed until September 22, because of the epidemic of infantile paralysis. Postponement was in accordance with an order issued by the Superintendent of Public Instruction, by which the opening of all the State Teachers Colleges in Pennsylvania was postponed for two weeks. The Freshman week schedule, planned for the week of September 8, was carried out during the week of September 22, but only a part of the student body registered, as eight counties were still under the restrictions. The students of these counties registered Monday, September 29, and the activities of the first semester were then underway. For many reasons, all of which have not been analyzed, there was a drop in the enrollment, there being about four hundred students in the College this year. The annual reception to the Freshmen, sponsored by the Community Government Association, was held Saturday evening, October 4. The first part of the evening’s activities was a program in the auditorium. The address of welcome was given by Elwood Beaver, president of the Community Government Association. Following the singing of “Maroon and Gold,” led by Miss Harriet Moore, President Harvey A. Andruss extended to the student body the greeting of the trustees and the faculty. Prof. H. F. Fenstemaker then played several selections on the organ, after which a skit, entitled “Why I a Bachelor” was presented by the Bloomsburg Players, under the direction of Miss Alice Johnston. Mr. Robert Morgan, the successor of Mrs. J. K. Miller, played several selections on the piano. Following announcements and the singing of the Alma Mater, the guests went to the old gymnasium where the reception and dance took place.

North, a member of the Bloomsburg State Teachers College faculty for the past twelve years, has been named dean of instruction of the State Teachers College at Bloomsburg. The new dean tawney, is of instruction is a native of Punxsuaged forty-eight years and has been active in educational work since 1917. In addition to his work at the college, he is prominently identified with many activities in the community. He prepared in the schools of Punxsutawney and received his B. S. degree at the Pennsylvania College in 1917, his M. S. from the same institution in 1927 and his Ph. D., majoring in administration and supervision, from Cornell in 1929. Dr. North was science instructor at Brookville High School in 1917-18, supervisor of vocational education in the Beechwoods Vocational School in the next year and director of vocational education and supervising principal of the Union-Corsica consolidated schools at Corsica, Pa., 1919-26. He was a member of the staff of rural education at State College 1926-27 and came to Bloomsburg in 1929. At the local college his major courses were philosophy of education, school law and administration, orientation and guidance of freshmen and educational and vocational guidance. He is a member of Caldwell Consistory and has a membership in the National Education Association, P. S. E. A., National Vocational Guidance Association, Phi Delta Kapp, Phi Sigma Pi, Gamma Sigma Delta, and the Honorary National Society in Rural Education. Dr. North is a member of the legislative committee for State Teachers Colleges of Pennsylvania, president of the local Kiwanis Club and local safe driving school, ruling elder of the Presbyterian Church, first vice-president of the Men’s Brotherhood of that church, member of the executive committee of the Columbia-Montour Scout Council, of the Fishing Creek district council, chairman of the district advancement committee and court of review of the council advancement committee.

MILLER RETIRES Mrs. John Ketner Miller, who served as Head of the Department of Music at Bloomsburg over a long period of years, retired from that position at the close of the college year in May. Mrs. Miller was one of the last of the teachers who formed the faculty that worked with Dr. Waller. Her name appears the catalogue for the school year of listed as teacher of violin. She first came to Bloomsburg as a member of a conceit party that appeared at the Columbia County Teachers’ Institute. It happened that the late John K. Miller was at that time County Superintendent. As a result of the acquaintance that developed, Miss Marian Harter became the wife of first 1904-05, where she in is Mr. Miller. Mrs. Miller has served long, faithfully and efficiently as teacher of piano, violin, organ and theory. It would be impossible to estimate the service she has rendered to music in the College, in Bloomsburg, and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Her former pupils are scattered throughout the country, and many of them are making definite contributions to the musical life in the communities in which they live. During most of the years that Mrs. Miller has been at Bloomsburg, she has always been in her place to play for the assembly singing. It seemed strange not to see her there when the student body met in its first assembly this year. Mrs. Miller is now living at the Masonic Home at Elizabethtown, Pennsylvania. She had not been there long until she was asked to give lessons to children in the Masonic Orphanage. She gladly consented to do so. It could not be otherwise music is her life. In the name of all the Alumni of the College, the Quarterly extends to Mrs. Miller best wishes for happiness in her new home. ; o Margaret R. Sandbrook and Dr. Kenneth E. Bristol were married Saturday, June 14. Dr. and Mrs. Bristol are now living at 50 Everett Avenue, Akron, Ohio. THE ALUMNI QUARTERLY, October, 1941 Page Forty-One GYMNASIUM WILL BE USED The new $300,000 gymnasium of the Bloomsburg State Teachers College will be placed in full use with the opening of the fall term, President Harvey A. Andruss said in announcing that August would see a half dozen General State Authority contracts, representing approximately $70,000 worth of work completed. Contracts have been let and part of the equipment received for the new Junior High School but not all of the equipment was received in time to allow this building becoming part of the active school plant for the coming term. The GSA contracts being completed, together with other improvements, additions and replacements represent an expenditure of more than $100,000. The funds for the work were made available during the biennium ending May 31. The contracts now nearing completion followed the original ones of a half million dollars awarded in 1938 by the GSA for the erection of the gymnasium, Junior High School, storage building and the enlarging of the steam plant. The construction about concluded will place all of the electrical power and light for the college under one meter and thus materially reduce the operating cost. The laboratories for industrial arts, home economics and shop, in the new junior high school building, are being equipped along with the library so that there will be no more modern junior high school anywhere than will be found on the campus of the local college. The concrete steps and brick balustrade in front of the new gymnasium will furnish a pleasing approach to the building. A seven foot steel fence topped by a guard rail of three barb wires will extend around the athletic field in the rear of the gymnasium. The excavating and leveling of the recreation field will continue after the fence is inproject which began during the stalled under a WPA month of August. The lines of the Bloomsburg Water Company are being extended along Chestnut street to Light Street Road and will thus furnish additional water service and protection for that area of the campus.

Entertainment features included accordion selections by Miss Nellie Kramer and two vocal solos by Miss Janet Shank, of Catawissa, accompanied by John D. ; ; THE ALUMNI QUARTERLY, October, 1941 Page Forty-Three oung, also of Catawissa. Mr. Reams presented W. Clair Hidlay, of town, and Frank D. Croop, of Berwick, trustees, and their wives; Prof, and Mrs. Fenstemaker, President and Mrs. Andruss, the Rev. Mr. Brumbach, of Mount Carmel, and Dean John C. Koch. The latter presented Roy D. Snyder, chairman of the Bloomsburg airport commission, who has further assisted the CAA program with instruction in meteorology, and Mrs. Snyder; Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Bigony, of the Bloomsburg airport, and the two CAA instructors. President Andruss in the presentation of awards spoke of the CAA program at the local institution. There were eighty-five men among the 285 students enrolled at the Summer session and almost one out of each four took CAA training. He mentioned that in many institutions where thousands were enrolled, there had been trouble in filling a quota of twenty such as Bloomsburg had. He spoke of Dean Koch, college co-ordinator; Roy D. Snyder, head of the airport commission, and Sam Bigony, operator of the airport, as making outstanding contributions to the success of the program. It was the prediction of the Rev. Mr. Dean that the current war will be a long one of five or perhaps ten years. He chose for his theme “To Serve the Present Age” and spoke principally of the vital contributions teachers can make to the citizens of tomorrow and used his background in the British military intelligence only to illustrate the points he emphasized. He told the teachers “Unless you have missed the message of this institution you are going out to serve. Many do not realize the great importance of teaching. You must know how to lead and you must ever have in mind the true goal of your high calling.” He quoted Teddy Roosevelt that “pep without purpose is piffle.” “We must be alert to changes. Things true a few years ago are not true today. We must learn to know about these changes and not let propaganda or prejudice interfere. We must seek the truth.” Speaking of his experiences in intelligence work he observed “Nine-tenths of the success in intelligence work, he observed of preparation before the task is started. This age requires preparation. It is an age when men are likely to forget the real purpose of life. In the high calling of teaching you must never lose sight of the things 5 THE ALUMNI QUARTERLY, October, 1941 Page Forty-Fcur which you are called. “These are critical times. Our country is facing a grave crisis. This is a day for expanding empires. The church is being liquidated and the Jew and Christian are being exterminated. The professions need to unite to bring new truths to learn the value and beauty of working together and to acquire that vital need, tolerance. We need to have zeal for things that are right and true. Don’t be satisfied with just doing a job. Do it the best you can.” There were students in the summer session who have graduated from or attended sixteen other institutions of higher learning. Those institutions were Temple, Buckfor ; : Pennsylvania State, Rider, Women’s College of the University of North Carolina, Kutztown, University of Pennsylvania, University of California, Lafayette, Immaculata, Susquehanna, East Stroudsburg, Hood, Scranton Keystone, American University and the University of nell, Alabama. WILL REPRESENT TEACHERS COLLEGES The National Youth Administration for Pennsylvania has appointed President Harvey A. Andruss, of the Teachers College, as a member of the college work council. This council represents the various types of the collegiate institutions in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and there is one representative for each of the following types: state universities, large privately endowed institutions, A. and M. colleges and Catholic colleges. President Andruss will represent the fourteen Teachers Colleges of the Commonwealth on the college work council, of which there are sixty members. The organization meeting will be held prior to June 30 so that plans can be made for the enrichment of the work program in the colleges and universities of Pennsylvania when they open in the fall of 1941. home-coming THE ALUMNI QUARTERLY, mv member October, 1941 i Page Forty-Five SHORTAGE OF ELEMENTARY TEACHERS A shortage in elementary teachers, which started to develop two years ago, when the majority of prospective teachers turned their efforts to the fields of secondary and special education, has been causing some school districts concern in their efforts to fill faculties for the new school year. Bloomsburg State Teachers College, which last year placed ninety per cent of those graduating in the elementary field, has placed the majority of the 1941 class and expects to do better than a year ago. Bloomsburg graduated 126 last May. Of that number, sixty-two were in the department of business education, forty-three in secondary education, and 21 in elementary education. While only one-sixth of the graduated class was in the elementary field, there were thirty who completed three years in that field and were entitled to a limited license. Most of these have been placed. This was the last year, however, that the limited license will be issued to those entering teaching in the elementary field. From now on, four years will be required in that field, as in the field of secondary education. One reason for the shortage of elementary teachers is the fact that the legal minimum in salaries in the field of secondary education in Pennsylvania is higher by two hundred dollars a year. Bloomsburg has been exceptionally successful in placing its graduates. The majority are being placed, not only in the elementary field, but in the field of business education, and a goodly number are being placed in secondary education, where competition is very keen. With four years of college work to be required of elementary teachers in the future, the shortage will undoubtedly continue for at least another year. i I THE ALUMNI QUARTERLY, October, 1941 Page Forty-Six MARY Miss Mary Louise Bloomsburg lish LOUISE HASTINGS Hastings, a former member of the and for thirty-seven years an Engthe Hartford Public High School, Hartford, faculty, teacher in Connecticut, until her retirement in 1928, died this spring at her home, after an illness of two weeks. She was 85 years old. Miss Hastings was born in Ceylon July 14, 1855, a daughter of the late Rev. Eurotas Parmele Hastings and Anna Cleveland Hastings, and was a descendant of an early Colonial family. Her father was a missionary, teaching in Batticotta Seminary in Ceylon, and later founding Jaffna College there. He was later the first president of the college. Miss Hasting’s mother was the sister of the late President Grover Cleveland. Returning to the United States with her parents in 1869, Miss Hastings later graduated from Houghton Seminary, Clinton, New York, and taught there and at Bloomsburg before entering the Hartford Public High School in 1891. At the time of Miss Hasting’s death, the teachers of Hartford passed the following resolutions: “In gratitude of heart, and with warm admiration for her sterling character, we bear tribute to the memory of our late friend and co-worker, Mary Louise Hastings, teacher in the Hartford Public High School from 1891 to 1928, a period of thirty-seven years. “Mary Hastings was born in the far-away island of Ceylon, of missionary parents in the service of the Presbyterian Church. Throughout her long life, she exemplified the lofty ideals, courage and deep religious principles which were her natural inheritance from such parentage. At an early age, she came to America for her education, experiencing that separation from parents and home which is one of the poignant sacrifices of a missionary family in a foreign field. The close tie which bound her to this distant land was doubtless a factor in that breadth of outlook which characterized her in later life. Her world was never narrow, limited, provincial; it was spacious and wide in interest. “Miss Hastings entered upon her work of teaching in Hartford Public High School just fifty years ago. The one high school of the rather small and homogeneous THE ALUMNI QUARTERLY, October, 1941 Page Forty-Seven Hartford of that day occupied only the southern half of To this historic the present Hopkins Street Building. school, Miss Hastings brought a natural refinement of manner, a love for the best in literature and music, a wise sympathy, and a cheerful and loyal spirit, which made her contribution a highly valued one. The uncompromising honesty and integrity which characterized her uncle, President Cleveland, was hers also. Devoted to duty, dependable, conscientious in all her relationships, she built into her work as a teacher in Hartford something of her cwn strength and firmness of character. May our city ever be rich in the heritage which comes from the life and work of its earnest, high-minded teachers.” Professor Charles H. Albert has written the following about Miss Hastings: ‘‘Miss Hastings came to Bloomsburg as a member of the faculty in September, 1877. I always looked upon her as a most excellent and refined woman, and had a very great respect for her.” o Dorothy Englehart, of Bloomsburg, and Ray Zimmerman, of Nuremberg, were married Saturday, July 19, at Wilkes-Barre. Mrs. Zimmerman has been teaching in Lehman, Pa., and Mr. Zimmerman is employed as bookkeeper in the office of the Gowen Colliery at Fern Glen, Pa. o Evelyn M. Smith and Samuel D.

THE ALUMNI QUARTERLY, October, 1941 Page Forty-Eight NEW MEMBERS OF FACULTY Robert Morgan, of Nanticoke, a graduate of Syracuse University, has been named by the board of trustees as director of the private school of music and instructor in piano and organ, filling a vacancy caused by the resignation of Mrs John Ketner Miller. After a number of years of musical study in WilkesBarre, Mr. Morgan entered a competition and won a scholarship to study piano at Syracuse. His work at Syracuse began in 1934. In addition to majoring in piano, Mr. Morgan studied organ, theory of music, and the various other musical and academic subjects required to obtain the degree of Bachelor of Music, which he received in 1938. While he was at Syracuse, Mr. Morgan’s public performances on the piano were rather numerous, including appearances with the Syracuse Symphony Orchestra in the Liszt Concerto in E flat. For a time during his undergraduate period, he served as the organist and choir director of the United Church in Fayettesville, New York. Following his graduation from Syracuse, Mr. Morgan became an instructor at Elon College in North Carolina, where he taught piano, organ, and history of music and acted as college organist. This position lasted for only one year, as he was filling a vacancy caused by the fact that a regular faculty member was taking a leave of absence. He then returned to Syracuse to study as the recipient of a scholarship which had been awarded him when he received his bachelor’s degree. He pursued the course leading to the degree of Master of Music, with a major in piano and a minor in organ. After fulfilling the requirements for this degree, he studied piano with Frank Sheri- dan in Petri, New York who is City, and then his present teacher. began study with Egon Since November, 1939, he has been employed by the First Baptist Church in Wilkes-Barre as organist and choir director.

Evans, eighty-three, president judge of the courts of Columbia and Montour counties for twentyfour years, died peacefully at his home on West Second street, Berwick, Thursday, July 10. Judge Evans was born in Briarcreek township on January 10, 1858, and spent his entire life in Berwick and vicinity. He was the son of the late Francis and Jane Lamon Evans. He received his early education in the public schools of his home district and in 1874 entered the Bloomsburg State Normal School. He later served that institution as trustee, retiring during the past year. Long after his appointment as trustee had expired he served with Thomas G. Vincent, of Danville, and Grover C. Shoemaker, of town, until successors were named. In the winter of 1876-77 he taught the Martzville public schools in Briarcreek township and in the fall of 1877 matriculated at Lafayette College from which he was graduated in June, 1881. The next month he became a law student in the office of Simon P. Wolverton, of Sunbury, with whom he read law, being admitted to practice in the courts of Northumberland county July 14, 1883. Subsequently he was admitted to the bar in Columbia and Luzerne counties and on August 23, 1883, he opened an office in Berwick. Twice appointed and twice elected to the bench, he was first appointed president judge of the twenty-sixth judicial district March 30, 1906. The esteem in which he was held by the men practicing before him was shown when he was honored at a THE ALUMNI QUARTERLY, October, 1941 — — Page Fifty-Three dinner of the Berwick Rotary Club with practically every attorney in the judicial district in attendance. In January, 1938, both he and his successor, the late Judge Herring were honored at a dinner given by the Columbia County Bar Association. To the young men and women of the section and to the children the Judge was the symbol of the law. Frequently was the expression coming from those in many walks of life and of various ages “Judge Evans certainly looks like a judge.” The Morning Press of July 11, had the following editorial comment concerning the death of Judge Evans: The death of Judge Charles C. Evans, for twentyfour years president judge of the Twenty-Sixth Judicial District, will to who came come as a shock to the many in the district know and admire him through the years. Judge Evans held that office longer than any other twice by election and twice by appointment. When he left the office it was with the respect of the Bar and the general public. He grew in judicial stature through the years. The public will best remember him as their president judge for many years. His home town of Berwick will likewise remember him for the part he played through many years in civic affairs. Judge Evans served the district during the years the battle was being waged increasingly against the liquor traffic. He played a part in “drying up” much of the county even before the days of Prohibition. In the years that followed he was uncompromising in his attitude toward liquor law violators and toward motorists who drove their cars while intoxicated. In the latter he was one of the pioneering judges of the state. He was a member of one of Berwick’s oldest families and throughout his life carried on the family tradition. A devoted husband and father, a fine citizen, a painstaking lawyer and a judge who was a credit to the Bench, Judge Evans well lived up to the battle cry of his cohorts in his first campaign for election “He looks the judge, he acts the judge, he is the judge.” — 1886 Miss Allie Donley, of Wilkes-Barre, died June 12, 1941, at her home, 187 Stanton Street, after an illness due to complications. Miss Donley was a teacher in the THE ALUMNI QUARTERLY, October, 1941 Page Fifty-Four Wilkes-Barre schools for forty-five years, all but four of which were spent in the Union Street Building. She retired from teaching in 1932. The majority of her teaching years w ere spent in the first grade of the Union Street School, and her kindly manner and disposition are remembered by hundreds of former students. She was a member of the First Methodist Church of Wilkes-Barre.
