R. L. SLAGLE, PH.D., 1894 Dr. R. L. Slagle, president of the University of South Dakota, at Vermillion, died January 29. 1929, at Indianapolis, Ind., while enroute to Charleston, W. Va. He had suffered a paralytic stroke on January 6, and was on his way to Charleston for a visit. He resigned from the presidency last October, the resignation to take effect September 1, 1929. Dr Slagle was born at Hanover, Pa., on March 17, 1865. After being educated in private schools, he entered Lafayette College, where he received the degree of bachelor of arts in 1887. He then went to Groton College, South Dakota, where he taught for one year. He then returned to Pennsylvania, teaching in secondary schools and obtaining his master's degree at Lafayette in 1890. The next year he spent working with Professor W. O. Atwater, of Wesleyan University, Middletown, Conn. He did labratory work at Harvard and at the museum of hygiene in the United States Navy Department. He received his doctor of philosophy degree at the University in 1894, specializing in chemistry. He returned to South Dakota and became professor of chemistry at South Dakota State College, remaining there until 1897 when he accepted a similar position at the School of Mines at Rapid City. He became president of the State College in 1906, and was chosen president of the State University of South Dakota in 1914. In 1922, Lafayette College conferred upon him the honoraru degree of doctor of laws. Dr. Slagle married Miss Gertrude A. RIEMANN, of St. Paul, in 1896. She died in 1915. Attendance at the University of South Dakota, where he reached the zenith of his career as an educator, more than doubled during his period as it's head, and many new courses were added. He was a vigorous advocate of university expansion, and steadily maintained that more liveral appropriations should be made for development and operation of state schools of higher education. During his career as teacher and administrator, Dr. Slagle made extensive research in chemistry and dietetics, and showed an unfailing interest in mathematics. J. McE. AMES, '90 It was just a week ago that John Ames stood before his Pg 297 "family" of employees grouped around long banquet tables and told them of the success of the Kanotex refinery during 1928 and the bright hope that he cherished for even greater achievement during 1929. He told them that he counted on them to make that greater achievement possible, and they promised him with a storm of applause. For the Kanotex folks loved their genial and scholarly president, because he was human and one of them. And now John Ames is gone-- snuffed out almost like a candle in the night. John Ames was one of those rare men who do generous, fine things for their community because they love to do them rather than because they think it is expedient. He was the sort of man who would make up a church deficit at the end of a year with the stipulation that no one except the pastor and the treasurer must know where the money came from. He was the sort of man who would lead the Y.M.C.A. subscription list with a thousand dollar donation. He was the sort of man who would pat a young friend on the back and send his spirits souring by telling him he was doing good work. These are just a few of the reasons why Arkansas City folks called John Ames "a prince" and put their hearts into it when they said it. Born and reared in the East and living there until middle life, Mr. Ames came west, and with the help of loyal associates built a new industry on the Kansas plains. For a good many years, he and his comrades nursed a spindling young business, put their hopes and their ambition and their sweat into the making of it-- until today the Kanotex refinery stands as one of the most prosperous institutions of it's kind in the state. In the eleven years since its removal to Arkansas City, it has been a mighty boon to this community. And John Ames headed it. It isn't always that an easterner can come to the West and make himself a part ot it. But John Ames did. There was no provincialism about him. He was big enough to embrace the viewpoints of all men and find whatever of good there was in them. And so it came about that Arkansas City understood John Ames, just as John Ames understood Arkansas City, and the affection between them was mutual. The tide of a splendid life has ebbed with incredible swiftness, and a community has lost one of it's truest friends. M.P. RINDLAUB, JR., M.D., 1905 Dr. M.P. Rindlaub, Jr., a prominent physician and citizen of Fargo, North Dakota, died a t Minneapolis, Minn., on December 2, 1928. He was born at Platteville, Wis., on November 6, 1874, and received his early education in the schools of that city, where he distinguished himself Pg 298 as a brilliant student. From 1891 - 1893, he taught in the schools of Platteville, and then entered the University of Wisconsin, where he received the degree of B.L. in 1896. He was professor of Latin at the Platteville State Normal School from 1896 - 1900, as he had majored in literature and not in science at the University of Wisconsin. During the year 1900 - 1901 he studied at the Universities of Berlin and Vienna, and upon the persuasion of his brother and sister who were engaged in the practice of medicine, he entered the Johns Hopkins Medical School, where he was graduated in 1905. He then joined his brother and sister in the practice of medicine at Fargo, North Dakota, specializing in diseases of the eye, ear, nose and throat. He was a member of the Cass County, North Dakota, Medical Society, and served as secretary and president of that Society. In 1925, he was president of the North Dakota Academy of Ophthalmology and Otolaryngology. He was also a member of the Minnesota Academy of Ophthalmology and Otolaryngology, of the North Dakota State Medical Association, the American Academy of Ophthalmology and Otolaryngology, and the American College of Surgeons. He was actively interested in the business, social, and recreational life of his community. Dr. Rindlaub was also nationally known in college fraternity circles, being a member of Sigma Chi and praetor of the northwest province of that fraternity. He enlisted in the U.S. Army during the World War and served as captain in the medical corps and as a member of the medical board of review at Camp Grant, Ill. Dr. Rindlaub was one of the most prominent physicians of the State of North Dakota, and was highly esteemed both professionally and because of his sterling character and attractive personality. His immediate community regards his early death as a severe loss. T. A. D. NIVER, FORMER STUDENT Mr. T.A.D. Niver, graduate student in zoology, died suddenly at Saranac Lake, N.Y., on November 24, 1928. He had entered the University in the fall of 1927, and expected to continue his work here until he had gotten his doctor of philosophy degree. His ultimate intension was to enter the ministry. Mr. Niver was born at Beacon, N.Y., and was graduated from the High School of that place. He then entered Williams College, where he received the A.B. degree in 1924. After graduation he taught for a year at the City College of New York and a year at his alma mater. Always of frail health, he was compelled to relinquish his work last fall and go to Saranac Lake. Though he waged a good fight, he finally lost strength rapidly and succumbed to the disease. NECROLOGY
