Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Normal Herald The school year opened Sept. 11, with the largest attendance of any fall term in the history of the institution. The usual number of young men are with us in spite of the fact that the new dormitory is not ready for occupancy. The enrollment at this writing is five hundred and seven, with an attendance of two hundred in the Model School. The enlarged attendance is very encouraging in view of our increased rates. There has been an unusual number of changes in the Faculty of the school this year. In addition to the change of Principal, there are six new teachers and a new steward in the school. All the new comers show adaptability, and the work moves harmoniously. 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, teachers, students and townspeople. We hesitate to say even a small part of what we feel 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 with him. We approve his efficiency as an administrative officer, his character-making power as a teacher, his public spirit as a citizen; but above all we love and venerate him as a man. 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 respected and feared. To the student his slightest known wish was law. His home and social life was fascinating to the students. Always gentle and courteous, thinking of the enjoyment of others before himself, he sacrificed his own pleasures for the pleasures of 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."
