1951 Cedrus Yearbook

He seemed as one of us to sit, And talk of things above, below, With flames more winsome than our wit, And words that burned like fire aglow. Dr. Frank Albert Jurkat, A.B., A.M., LL.D. —who for fifty-six rears has taught classic and modern languages at Cedarville College, having several times refused offers from larger and more famous institutions in order to devote his life to the needs of the students of this college. We dedicate this, the 1951 Cedrus, to him because, although a man of prodigious learning, he wears that learning lightly; because, like Yorick, 'he is a man of infinite jesti because an hour of one of his classes is a delight to those who share it, when not only mind and spirit are fed with wit and wisdom, but the flesh too is sustained by the cookies and candy that he carries up the campus path in his market basket along with books—and, above all, because he is loved and greatly admired, and remembered by his students long after their other teachers have been forgotten. 1
