With the larger world, too, as well as with college affairs, Dr. Gates has always kept up a vital and fruitful connection. He impresses every one, even on the most casual acquaint- ance, as a man whose interest in every noble cause is both broad and keen. An accomplished speaker, he is often to be heard on educational, social, and religious topics, and such is the acceptance with which he speaks, that within a year he has received nearly two hundred invitations to give public addresses in various parts of the country. He has been promi- nently identihed with Civil Service Reform, Ballot Reform, and other important public movements. Since 1884 he has been a member of the United States Board of Indian Commissioners, of which he has recently been elected President, as successor of the late General Clinton B. Fisk. That he is also the master of a literary style alike strong and graceful, may be seen in any of his numerous published articles, among which may be instanced his article on Athens, in I-Iarper's Monthly Magazine for May, 1881, the materials of which he gathered in an ex- tended tour taken in 1878, and his appreciative sketch ofthe life and character of Sidney Lanier, in the Presbyterian Review for October, 1887. President Gates entered upon regular work at Amherst at the end of October in this year, but his formal inauguration will not take place until Commencement, 1891. I S I 4 I4

You have been unfortunate, Ninety-One. Quite unfortunate. You have some excellent men among you, and you might have done deeds worthy of your alma maler.
