THE McKENDREAN

Page 8 text:

To be the President of McKendree College is to be in a position which both merits honor and involves responsibility. To obtain this office is one thing, but to do credit to it is another. McKendree College has honored Dr. Geo. E. McCammon by conferring upon him the office of President. But that is only half the story. President McCammon. in return for the deference shown to him, has served in a capacity of president faithfully and well. He has not only labored conscientiously in his discharge of administrative duties on College Hill, but he has done a work beyond the limits of the campus which is worthy of recognition. The value of the work done in the latter connection can scarcely be estimated, for he has helped to create a sentiment with respect to McKendree College which cannot but be of great value to the institution. He has met with a response that has been manifested in an appreciable financial success as well as a wide-spread interest. Mere works can do but little in expressing cur gratitude to Dr. McCam- mon or our appreciation for his work. Only by our hearty co-operation in the work which he is doing and our loyal support to the institution which he is serving so faithfully can we best do honor to him to whom honor is due.

Deans It would be difficult to find a college dean who is more admired and re- spected than Dean Baker. McKendreans do not believe there is such a man. He is a man of influence, and is situated in such a way that he is able to use that influence to good advantage. Not only does he see and champion the cause of right, but he is so convincing in speech and manner that others are led to adopt his course. Find a McKendrean wherever you will — and you will find a person in whose heart there is only love and reverence for Dean Baker. Dean Sheridan has been with us but cne year, but during that brief per- iod she has accomplished a work worthy of commendation. To the girls she has been an advisor and a friend, and has had the interest of everyone of them at heart. Through her endeavors Clark Hall is being made much more attractive and thus made more homelike for the girls. Her influence has made itself felt not only among her girls, but among the people of Le- banon as well. Largely through her efforts the people of the College and those of the town are becoming more interested in the activities which in reality should be of mutual interest.
