Thanks for noting the error! Mark (my husband) had originally told me it was Machen, but has since been corrected by other students. I was surprised to see someone still commenting on this blog post or I would have edited it earlier! Yes, you are correct. Thanks for noting the error!

(It could be identified by being the one with a glint of mercy in it, according to one tale.) I believe it was John Murray who had a glass eye.

One student returned to class after such an incident wearing a football helmet. And we also have it on good authority that Van Til was known to throw pieces of chalk at his students.

Gresham Machen brooding over the fireplace. You definitely would not have wanted to hand in a late paper to that guy! J.G.M. was one of the founders of Westminster (as well as of the Orthodox Presbyterian denomination) and one of the staunchest defenders of the orthodox faith in the 20th century. Despite his stern appearance in his portrait, we have it on good authority that he used to take out his glass eye and hold it through the door in Van Til's classroom to distract the class. Who says theologians are no fun! That’s J. Gresham Machen brooding over the fireplace. You definitely would not have wanted to hand in a late paper to that guy!
