Fond Memories
The article featuring Rees Edgar Tulloss in the Autumn 2005 edition of the Wittenberg Magazine brought back some fond memories to me. It was 1932 that Dr. Tulloss paid a visit to my home to personally invite me to attend Wittenberg College. My extracurricular activities (non-athletic) at Warren G. Harding Senior High School in Warren, Ohio, outweighed my scholastic record, which nevertheless, seemed to appeal to universities of higher learning as several colleges showed enough interest to dangle a few offers before me. When Rees Edgar Tulloss called my home asking if he could visit us, my parents, who were born and died Lutherans, never attended college, but knew of the wonderful Dr. Tulloss, were absolutely elated to think he was actually going to be in our home. As could be expected, Dr. Tulloss was an excellent goodwill ambassador, a very impressive man and an excellent salesman for Wittenberg, which he dearly loved. We were all so impressed that a man of his stature would personally invite me to attend the college of which he was president. There was little doubt as to where my higher education would take place. I never regretted that decision, and I don’t think he did either.

Geiger House Revisited
Geiger House Revisited A number of alumni have asked for an update on the Geiger House, which we featured in our Spring 2005 issue. Exterior restoration work on the house has been completed, including cleaning and sealing the brick wall surface, rebuilding the window shutters, applying new storm windows to protect the original sash and glass, painting, replacing the porch, re-grading the land and installing an attractive fence to help to protect the property. An assessment of the house, located south of College Avenue on Woodlawn Avenue, will be included in the updated Campus Master Plan being prepared by Dober, Lidsky and Craig. The Geiger House will likely be renovated inside to provide a meeting and gathering space for the Wittenberg and Springfield communities.
