ALUMNI ACTIVITIES have increased greatly these 20
years. Here President Anspach is shown ai the head table
at the 1957 Homecoming banquet.
BY  NOHMA  SCHEALL
To anyone who has ever
known Dr. Charles L. Anspach,
our college president, he will
probably always remain the
"most unforgettable character."
His deep, human insight and
understanding, his concern for
the students and his friendliness
have had a lasting effect on
graduates of Central Michigan
College,
This year many iribufes will
be given lo this man who has
served Ceniral for twenty
years as its fifth president. He
look office July 1, 1938.
The first of these will be a
combined   birthday   dinner
honoring  Dr.  and  Mrs.  Anspach Tuesday, May 5 in Calkins Dining Room. In the past
Ihe faculty wives had a dinner for Mrs. Anspach and the
faculty men had a dinner for
Dr. Anspach.
During that twenty years, Dr.
Anspach   has  seen   the   college
grow steadily, and Ceniral soon
will  achieve  university  status.
He guided  the  institution
through the "growing pains" of
a total enrollment increase of almost 5000 students. In 20 years
the  enrollment  increased   from
2284   to  7247.   The   faculty   increased from 111 to 296 members. He presided over the reorganization necessary for Central
to gain university status.
He came to Central near the
end of the depression when enrollments were on the way up
again. During World War 2 enrollment dropped as men went
into the service. This was followed by the post-war boom
which necessitated the construction of Vetville, temporary married housing units.
When Dr. Ansapch arrived,
the campus of 50 acres, valued
at S4 million, had seven buildings. Today ihe campus en-
compases 235 acres, is valued
at S28 million and has 40
buildings.
Many honors, both civic and
educational, have been be -
stowed upon Dr. Anspach. He
has been and siill is active on

ica.

Rotary Club. He is also a Mason
and is active in Boy Scout activities. Dr. Anspach is a member
of tho Church of the Brethren.
Among his honors are the
King   Christian   X   Liberation
Medal and the Freedoms Foundation award.
Extremely interested in Boy
Scout activities. Dr. Ansapch
has been awarded the Silver
Beaver and Silver Antelope
awards.
Constantly   in   demand   as   a
public speaker, he has delivered
thousands of speeches throughout  the  country.  Many  of his
.speeches   have   been   published
in the magazine, Vital Speeches.

and reports used  in the office'
