'MY HOME TOWN' Backward Glimpses By Spring- fieldians to Places They're Loved and Still Cherish
By CELIA RAY DR. T. W. NADAL, president of Drury college, was born on a farm Dear - Mulroy .. Ind, and Ifred there until after be had finished the elementary schools and one year in high school His mother then was named post- master at Milroy and they moved into the little town.
"As a boy my Me was about the same as that .of any farmer boy," recalls Doctor Nadal. "1 Nadal attended the dis- trict school, then when I entered high school I walked three miles into town each day dur- ing my freshman year." .
After he had completed the sec- ond year of high school it was necessary for him to go elsewhere to complete his education for that was the highest grade at Milroy. 80 -
Doctor Nadal entered De Pauw academy and later De Pauw uzi- versity.
"I always had intended to go to college," he recalls. "Even as a small boy I had made up my mind that I would get an education. I had no means so when I left home at the age of 16 I started working my way through school."
Doctor Nadal returns two or three times a year to his old home town to visit his mother. There has been little change in the town. he has found. The population when he was a boy was about 600 and it is around 1000 now. The town is in the heart of a good agricultural district.
Slightly more than two weeks agc: Doctor Nadal preached the sermon for the annual homecoming st the old church he attended as a boy in Milroy. He had been specially in- vited by the congregation to give the principal talk at the event.
