by \ Pete Carter
June 7, 1949, marks the tenth anniversary of a man who from railroad clerk rose to ten successful
years of service to Central. Ten
years as * college president, for a
man who when he was our age,
probably had no idea what the future held in store, serve as encouragement to students who question
their futures in this highly competitive society of which we are all a
part .
Dr. Anspach cam to Central in
1939, but the events leading up to
being president of this institution
make a most interesting history
in itself.
Charles Anspach wanted to be a
doctor. So, after completing his
training at Ashland college, he entered pre-medical school, at the University of Michigan. But, like many
of us, he changed his mind, dropped
out of school and went to work as
a yard clerk for the Erie railroad.
*   *   *
FROM THAT JOB, he went into
Willys-Overland as head of the
complaint department.
From Willys-Oversand, Charles
took a job with Chevrolet in Flint
During the year he was in Flint,
he   married   the   former   Mary
Fisher, and from Chevrolet, went
back to Willys-Overland as head
of the repair department.
"I wasn't satisfied," says Dr. Anspach, "something was lacking. So, I
decided to go back to college. I took
a part time job in the offices of
Sess and Clark, and went to school
until I received my MA."
*   *   *
AFTER  SCHOOL,  Charles Ans
pach took „ rull time job with
Hess and Clark, but left it to teach
school, a decision which he says,
"I've never regretted."
Dr. Anspach received his Ph.D.
from the University of Michigan
in 1930, and was president of Ashland college from 1935-1939.
When Dr. Anspach came to Central in 1939, Keeler union was near
completion. During his administration, Sloan hall and the new heating plant were built. The President's
home was added along with the purchase of the land out to US-27 and
the land which makes up the trailer
court. The Arts & Crafts building,
Barnard hall, Food commons, and
approximately $400,000 of temporary
structures have been erected.
THERE WERE ABOUT one hundred teachers on the staff as com
pared with one hundred seventy today. The budget has been increased
from approximately $380,000 to more
than 21/_ million, and a new physical education plant is forthcoming
in the near future.
Aside from his duties as president, Dr. Anspach is and has been,
active in this community and various functions throughout the
state. He is a member of the National Council of Boy Scouts of
America, has the Silver Beaver
and Silver Antelope awards1,
YMCA, the Governors Commission on Adult Education, Rotary
and many others. He is listed in
Who's Who in American Education, and has had five of .his last
seven Swingout speeches carried
in "Vital Speeches." Dr. Anspach
also received the Medal of Liberty from King Christian X of Denmark.
"Some of the things I have noted
during my time here at Central,"
says Dr. Anspach, "are the increased
interest of the students in participating in school administration with
reference to the Student senate, and
the same friendliness of students
and teachers toward one another in
spite of "the fact the college has
grown to more than twice the enrollment at the time I came here.*'
As a final note to ten years of
service we say:
DR. ANSPACH, please accept'
from the faculty and student body
of Central, a hearty "Well done,"
and our sincerest wishes that your
future here at Central will be as
successful as your past, and that you
will continue to be a source of encouragement to all of us.
