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- Mrs. Ingram Has Watermelon Cutting A watermelon cutting was given to the student body and persons (connected with the West Georgia College administration on Thurs day evening, July 15, at 6:30 oclock by Mrs. Martha Munro Ingram, wife of President I.

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.
