igrvaihnnt Finney- Au Apprrriatinii Readers of the Aurora are already familiar with the chief events which have marked the career of our revered and honored President, and it is not necessary for me to repeat their narration. It is rather my purpose to call atten- tion to some of the qualities of mind and heart that have made possible his distinguished success as an educator and administrator. I-Iis educational opportunities were by no means exceptional. In fact, measured by the standards of today, they were quite meagre. And yet, after only four years of teaching, we Hnd him Principal of the Indianapolis Normal School C1876-18842, next Superintendent of the Indianapolis schools C1884-18945, then Superintendent of the Cleveland schools C1894-19l'l'2D, and finally with us. where a kind fate brought him to preside over the destinies of our State Normal College. Early in my acquaintance with President jones I found myself, in my own mind, applying to him the char- acteristics immortalized by I-Iorace, the poet laureate of the Augustan age, in the words: Iustum et tenacem propositi virum Non civium ardor prava iubentium Non voltus instantis tyranni Mente quatit solidaf, And a more intimate friendship has served to establish the truth of the characterization, For our President is just and right-minded. He sees things as they are, has clear vision and good sense. Then, having exercised this unusual faculty, he makes up his mind what to do and does it. I-Ie becomes the very embodiment of firmness and decision, like the one whom I-Iorace calls 'tenacem pvfoposiri -zf17rzi111,' whom nothing can shake from his steadfast purpose. This quality, which seems to me our Presidentls chief characteristic, was admirably shown during his administration of affairs at Cleveland where he took the management of the school system out of the hands of the politicians in the face of ceaseless opposition of misguided citizens Q,C'Z.'Z!Ill11l LTVUIO7' jvrarlu Z.7ll7C llfI-117115 and the threats of the angry political boss Czfolfus I'lISftl7'lfI5 'fj'7'U7HZ1'D. VVe gratefully acknowledge that the phenomenal prosperity of our College since 1902 is primarily due to the ster- ling qualities of our President. May he long continue with us! -Benjamin I..
