Funeral services for Mr. Homer H.
Gage were held at the St. Paul's Episcopal Church Tuesday afternoon, October 27th, at 4 o'clock. The rector,
the Reverend Mr. Lewis Nichols, read
the beautiful and impressive service.
A quartet of Mr. Gage's friends
chanted the service and also sang his
favorite hymn. The quartet included
Miss Ivah Whitwell, soprano; Mrr
George Dietz, contralto; Mr. Harold
Figgles, tenor; and Mr. Harry Hubler,
bass.
The entire faculty of the college
attended the services in a body, as
did the Rho Omega Lambda sorority,
of which Mrs. Gage is advisor. Many
students of the college also attended
the funeial service.
The Reverend Mr. Nichols, in a

PROF. GAGE
The death of Professor Homer
Howell Gage brings a very real sorrow to Lock Haven State. Teachers
College, touching students and faculty alike with unusual force. Because
an unusually large number of students have enjoyed personal contact
with Mr. Gage, he was particularly
admired and respected on the college
campus, where many held for him p
very sincere affection. He was well
characterized by a fellow faculty
member, who said, "To me Mr. Gage
stood for three things: He was a
great scholar; he was a gentleman;
he was a great teacher." This statement, made by a friend and fellow
teacher, expresse.s the feeling of the
entire college as well. The students
respected this great man as a fine
scholar; they admired him as a true
gentleman; and they sincerely loved
him as an inspiring, understandinf
teacher. They already miss him; but
only when time brings an even truer
realization of their great loss will
these young men and women realize
what the contact with this fine personality and sturdy Christian character has done for them and their
future.

Funeral services for Mr. Homer H.

favorite hymn. The quartet included
Miss Ivah Whitwell, soprano; Mrr

PROF. GAGE
The death of Professor Homer
Howell Gage brings a very real sorrow to Lock Haven State. Teachers
College, touching students and faculty alike with unusual force. Because
an unusually large number of students have enjoyed personal contact
with Mr. Gage, he was particularly
admired and respected on the college
campus, where many held for him p
very sincere affection. He was well
characterized by a fellow faculty
member, who said, "To me Mr. Gage
stood for three things: He was a
great scholar; he was a gentleman;
he was a great teacher." This statement, made by a friend and fellow
teacher, expresse.s the feeling of the
entire college as well. The students
respected this great man as a fine
scholar; they admired him as a true
gentleman; and they sincerely loved
him as an inspiring, understandinf
teacher. They already miss him; but
only when time brings an even truer
realization of their great loss will
these young men and women realize
what the contact with this fine personality and sturdy Christian character has done for them and their
future.
