advanced from AssistantPIofessor to Associate Professor to Professor,
serving as Head of the Department from 1948~l950. While carrying
a full professorial load he found time to publish, as coauthor with

, Professor Nollau’s teaching brought him in contact with every
student in the College of Engineering. He was a master of the art
of instruction in engineering drawing. He was also a lover of youth

and perhaps hundreds, of young men have profited greatly from his
fatherly advice about personal matters. He was known among his
colleagues as a kindly man who made friends easily and kept them.

He enjoyed a wide acquaintance among engineering drawing teachers in
the South.

and that a copy be sent to the bereaved family.
