No one knows how much money Dr.Lyle Tullis gave away to students.I was his colleague for nearly a decade and I never stopped being amazed at his generosity.Our college has a program of providing cross-cultural experiences for students.Lots of students take advantage of summer experience overseas.I discovered that no group left for overseas without some of its members receiving financial help from Dr.Tullis.
It wasn’t that he made a lot of money.For one thing,he taught in a church-run school.There,his salary was half of what those people earned in a tax-supported school.
Other colleagues occasionally complained about the low pay.Not Lyle Tullis.Occasionally some professors would leave our campus for a better-paid position.They told me they did so because,with better pay,they could provide for their families.
The size of Lyle Tullis’ paycheck never seemed to be the most important thing to him.I realized that one day when I was thanking him for helping a student,his eyes shone as he said to me,“I’ve got so much money that I don’t know what to do with it.So,I just give it away.”
Most people wouldn’t have thought that way.Dr.Tullis drove one of the oldest cars on campus.It was even older than almost any of the students’ cars.His home,while comfortable,was not fancy at all.But Lyle Tullis lived with the feeling that he had so much money that he needed to give it away.
