"CRONJE" DR. CRONJE B. EARP - M.A., Ph.D. (Greek)
Leaning against the pencil sharpener, pacing in front of the class, staring out of the window, or leaning out of the window to shout to a passing friend two stories below, Dr. Earp uses up a lot of energy in his lectures.
His vitality becomes apparent in the teaching of Greek as he blasts forth as violently on Homer as on the matter of student tardiness. His assortment of barbs and jibes for those guilty of being late is perhaps unparalleled.
Dr. Earp especially enjoys arguments with students in and outside of class. The appearance of a quick-spoken ministerial student with definite ideas about evolution or the perfection of God is a welcome sight in Dr. Earp'·s Greek class. No matter what the student's opinion is, a good discussion is sure to ensue. Undefeatable in one of his oherished verbal battles, Dr. Earp always stops the conversation just before the student lands the final punch.
Sarcasm is also a prized personality trait in the ambling Deacon. An index card in the Wake Forest library on a book listed as Sappho and His Influence evoked gales of laughter from the Greek scholar. who disclosed that Sappho had been a woman.
Perhaps the most ardent sports fan on the campus, Dr. Earp has missed less than one dozen football practices in the last two years. He missed practice twice last fall, and the Deacons lost their Saturday scrap both times.
Laughter seems to be the favorite pastime for Dr. Earp, who squints one eye, throws back his 'head, and j1aughs with such gusto that pictures have been known to fall off walls in the adjoining room.
He is remembered for his warm arid lasting friendships. especially for his friendship with a student spor"tswriter whom he called "Grantland Rice."
