Dr. Augsburger joined the faculty in 1942. He was 83 years of age when he died.

Dr. Augsberger was a remarkable man. Always so friendly. I had a class from him when I was in college there, and at my 40th class reunion he came up to me and called me by name -- even though I'd had no contact with him in the interim.

Word had it that he would study the yearbook for the honored classes just before each Alumni Weekend, to remind himself of the students' names. He was amazing!
