.4 f if Ni DR. JULIUS D. DREHER After the death of Dr. Bittle, the Rev. T. W. Dosh was elected President of the College. l-lowever, he resigned after a year and Dr. Julius D. Dreher succeeded him in August,'l878. The year served as an interlude in which the College found itself after the dynamic services of Dr. Bittle. Some of the old was faulty and new matter must be found with which to replace it. And the College must advance or die. Men are kinetic and a mould which forms them must keep apace, or be left behind. The man who had founded Roanoke had a worthy successor in Dr. Dreher. Corollary to the growth of any institution is the financial backing that is necessary to maintain it. Roanoke was not destitute, but the borderline between poverty and destitution is not always a sharp one. This period was the one immediately following the Civil War: money was scarce, Confederate currency was useless paper-Dr. Bittle had been waiting for a train to carry him to Richmond in order that he might purchase books when the end of the war came . . . the books were bought with Federal currency later. The faculty was inadequate to a growing institution and the physical plant was far from complete. l-lence, the financial problem that confronted the new president was one that the Danaides would have ignored. But Dr. Dreher was a product of Roanoke and he met the difficulties with energy and tact. l-le had learned the story and when it fell to him to tell his chapter, he told the story of a fighter who fought in the dark against intangible opponents, and he told it well. Dr. Dreher brought the finances of Roanoke to a degree of soundness that had been but a dream before, he improved the grounds and the build- ings, he was able to secure endowments, the first in the history of the college, and he made a dream of Dr. Bittle, the Library, a realization- with twenty-one thousand volumes. But perhaps the greatest event of his presidency was the appointment of Dr. Luther A. Fox to fill the chair of Professor of Moral and intellectual Science. Men who shaped the matrix. . . QMQSSD
