Dr. Q. B. Lang (Alias Einstein)
By Wilburn Boggs
In this issue we give tribute to
one who has been a great asset to
the scientific field at West Georgia,
Dr. Gaines B. Lang. Dr. Lang has
been here only two years, but in
this short time he has meant much
in the growth of West Georgia.
Born at Calhoun, Ga., and educat
ed in Georgia schools, received'his
A. B. from the University of Geor
gia. Dr. Lang was at the University,
teaching Physics and Mathama
tics, for two yeears, but finally
went to the University of Illinois to
study and to teach. It was from
this university that he received his
Ph.D. Two years ago he joined
the faculty of West Georgia Col
lege.
He has been married a little over
two years, and now is the proud
father of an adorable baby girl.
Likes very much to play croquet,
and finds some lively competition
in Mrs. Lang who can handle a
mallet as well as he. An excellent
chess player, but says that he has a
brother who can “put him in the
shade.” He, though seeming very
serious, likes reading humorous
books: his favorite author being
Mark Twain. Takes a liking to
poetry, especially that of Edgar
Lee Masters.
He has an adorable way of ex-

plaining a problem all over six
black-boards. Often wonders why
we can’t understand such simple
figuring. He has a knack of proving
that two and two is not four —very
convincing too. . . . He is a friend
to everyone who knows him, and is
one of the best friends that this
writer ever had. Seldom ever
smiles (Three courses of math un
der him makes me understand),
but when a smile comes it warms
up the whole atmosphere.
Dr. Lang is very interested in
campus affairs, especially the pub
lication of the WEST GEORGIAN.
He insists upon driving his auto
mobile with the bumper still bent.
Maintains that he ran into a fence
in Texas. Full of fun out of class,
but while in class, he means busi
ness. One quarter he conditioned
all of his math class but two mem
bers. Soon found that he would
have to do that every quarter, so
quit. Likes to teach Calculus, but
we students are afraid of the name.
He’s one more good fellow, so
you should meet him.
