CHARLES R. LAUER
At the vegular chapel period on
Wednesday, October 28, 1936,
Doctor Armstvong announced that
out of vespect to the memory of
Mv. Lauer all College classes would
close at two o'clock for the remainder of the day. He also stated
that in Mr. Lauer's death the College had lost a most valuable
friend; that Mr. Lauer had been
interested in the work of all the
students and Faculty and in every
phase of the College work. The
students stood for a minute in silent tribute.
Mr. Lauer was a member of the

the State came into full possession
of the State Teachers College. He
was again appointed as a Trustee
on Mavch 10, 1936, for a term of

STUDENTS AND FACULTY EXTEND SYMPATHY
Charles R. Lauer, 66, president
of the Boavd of Trustees of the
Lock Haven State Teachevs College, died suddenly Sunday movning, Octobev 25, at his home as the
vesult of a heavt attack.

the Lock Haven Motor Club, of

more than 11 years, was a member
of the executive committee of the
Pennsylvania Motor Federation,
and was a member of the executive
committee of the State Funeral
Directors' Association.
Mr. Lauer's service on the college board was the second occasion
on which he had served in this capacity, as he had been a former
trustee. The mausoleum where he

development which he promoted at
Wyomissing when he was engaged

The students and faculty of the College wish to express
their sympathy at the death of Mr. Lauer, President of the
College Board of Trustees.
Mr. Lauer served our College in a friendly and able
inanner. He was ever conscious of his duties as a responsible citizen, and gave his services freely to this College
and community.

POETASTER'S REMARKS
Twenty-three hundred years ago
an oldish man leaned against Ick
the tinsmith's shop, switching at
the flies around his bare legs with
an olive twig. The street loafers
lolled about, and snickered at his
witty strokes. Plato was there, a
lanky youth, who was to follow
the bald-headed master fov the
next seven years. This was the
Ideal Teacher, and to the dull dogmatists of the Middle Ages he bequeathed the Socratic method,
never patented, never surpassed,
and little used.
He was our ancestor, and I
chanced to welcome him turning
the dark corner at the dorm entrance last night. He seemed glad
to see me, though his greeting was
casual.
You're pretty far from home,
aren't you, sir? I ventured.
He pointed an aged finger: Are
those your books? And your teach,
ers, do they rely on books to instruct you? Their function, aside
from directing you to good books,
is it to stimulate original thought
with suggestions from their broad
knowledge? Do you count character in education? Those are great
men you sit under; men you love
to sit under and talk with? I would
suppose it so. I had a teacher once
—he was a man! I would drop in
some evening and wait on the edge
of his easy chair while he smoked
and finished his writing. He would
ask what I was doing, weve my
studies going well; was my family
well; was my brother stroking the
crew this year? Before we turn
in, old man, let's go out for some
chocolate. We talked long over our
cups.
Time fell around my ears; I was
talking to my history instructor
outside the College gate after an
"Arbor." The moon was rimmed
by stark oak branches on the campus.
"Good night, old man." He was
off toward his room. I ran up the
walk to the dorm, almost tripping
over the squirrel hound who paced
the weary hours under the oak
He sniffed as I passed, and pointed
his muzzle to the stars.

Wednesday, October 28, 1936,
Doctor Armstvong announced that
out of vespect to the memory of
Mv. Lauer all College classes would
close at two o'clock for the remainder of the day. He also stated
that in Mr. Lauer's death the College had lost a most valuable
friend; that Mr. Lauer had been
interested in the work of all the
students and Faculty and in every
phase of the College work. The
students stood for a minute in silent tribute.
Mr. Lauer was a member of the
Board of Trustees in 1914 when
the State came into full possession
of the State Teachers College. He
was again appointed as a Trustee
on Mavch 10, 1936, for a term of
fouv yeavs. He was elected President of the Board of Trustees on
.4pvil 16, 1936. His death occurred
at his home in Lock Haven on October 25, 1936.

STUDENTS AND FACULTY EXTEND SYMPATHY
Charles R. Lauer, 66, president
of the Boavd of Trustees of the
Lock Haven State Teachevs College, died suddenly Sunday movning, Octobev 25, at his home as the
vesult of a heavt attack.
Funeval services were held on
Thursday afternoon at 2 o'clock at
the vesidence in charge of the Rev.

of St. Paul's Episcopal Church.
Private committal services were
held Friday at the Reading Mausoleum.
Mr. Lauer was born at Thorndale, Sullivan County, and when a
child, removed with his parents to
Lapovte. He was educated in the
Laporte schools and was graduated
from the Eccles College of Embalming, Philadelphia. Following
his graduation, he went into partnership with V. B. Holcomb in the
furniture and undertaking business at Dushore.
In 1907, Mr. Lauer bought the

tavy Club of which he was a charter niember, chairman of club service committee and vice president.

the Lock Haven Motor Club, of
which he had been president for
more than 11 years, was a member
of the executive committee of the
Pennsylvania Motor Federation,
and was a member of the executive
committee of the State Funeral
Directors' Association.
Mr. Lauer's service on the college board was the second occasion
on which he had served in this capacity, as he had been a former
trustee. The mausoleum where he
was interred is in a real estate
development which he promoted at
Wyomissing when he was engaged
iu that business at Reading. He

The students and faculty of the College wish to express
their sympathy at the death of Mr. Lauer, President of the
College Board of Trustees.
Mr. Lauer served our College in a friendly and able
inanner. He was ever conscious of his duties as a responsible citizen, and gave his services freely to this College
and community.

this year they have played thvee
games and have lost them all, two
with close scoves, and one by a

These scores do not mean that
we will win, but, if the team remains in theiv pvesent condition,
