'Gustavus Sitzler, the youngest of four brothers who were in School House, was a strange mixture of dreaminess and energy. He had many interests, but no great capacity, and the result was not a great success in school life. But it was impossible not to feel that his intentions were of the best, and not to respect his obvious desire to do right. There are those who will remember the keenness with which he strove to become a successful speaker in the "Debating Society," and to make himself a long-distance runner.' (Malvernian, Jun 1918).
