HAMILTON COLLEGE II bet en route was only the exaggeration of the fact that he gave every man a chance, and some of the poorest men have wonderfully justiiied his faith. And then he followed his students through life. He never lost sight of them, and he was always looking out for them. He was a Teachers' Bureau in himself. Some of the men would hardly have recognized themselves in his recommendations, and sometimes it was the revelation of a nobler self that gave birth to a great ambition. Dr. North was never so happy as in getting a word from his students, or in meeting them. He remembered the most minute things concerning them and rejoiced in their suc- cess. There is no record in a college journal equal to the Alumniana of the Hd77ZZ-ff07Z Lit., which he edited for so many years. ' V And so to many minds Edward North has stood for Hamilton College, its finest culture and best traditions. No doubt we have idealized him, but it is the reaching out of the soul for the noble qualities that he represented. It should not be laid up against us that the Hill is not quite the same place since Edward North has gone.
