THE, GRIST Governor Pothier s Message I rejoice that each period of my service as Governor of Rhode Island has wit- nessed incidents of marked significance for the development and progress of Rhode Island State College. I had the honor of approving the resolution whereby an appro- priation was made for the construction of Science Hall; East Hall also was built during my earlier administration — 1909-1915. The approval by the people in the biennial election of 1926 of a proposed bond issue for the benefit of the college, which I urgently recommended in my inaugural message in 1925, will make available £600,000 for the construction of a building for the Engineering Department, proper library facilities, a suitable gymnasium, and other accommodations commensurate with the reasonable growth of the college. I have been impressed during my career as a public officer, and as a private citizen, by the qualities of the graduates of Rhode Island State College and their service in public life and in connection with our industrial enterprises. I attribute their significant contribution to our civic life to the spirit of the institution; to the constructive influence of its teaching faculty; and the moral leadership of the presi- dent and other officers. In this brief mention of only a few of the good things I would write of Rhode Island State College had I the opportunity to do so, I wish to include my commenda- tion of Hon. Howard Edwards, who as president has given to the college unselfishly and unstintedly years of the best that have been his to give. His impress upon the characters of his students has been formative and constructive. Rhode Island is vastly richer for his residence among her citizens. A. J. Pothier Governor of Rhode Island Nineteen
