Wallace B. Fleming Victory for Wesleyan is never far distant when the crow ' s-feet appear on the temples of our beloved President. His virile brain has never failed us in the crucial hour. Added to his superior ability as a constructive administrator, Dr. Fleming possesses a magnetic personal power arising from an unmistakable heartiness in his expression, in his smile, in his handshake, in all that he says and does. In the art of pleasing his is the master ' s crown. With a perfect poise of manner, with a delightful directness of speech, with a ready sympathy for all, his presence is irrestible. Since 1915 Wesleyan has profited by the undivided efforts of this gifted son of Methodism. Each link in the chain of unparalleled progress has been fashioned and wrought by this natural leader of men. Today the patrons and students of Wesleyan are ready to attempt whatever he wills, for we know that with his breadth of vision he has the invaluable faculty of accomplishment. The school has been deprived of an inspiring personal contact with Dr. Fleming for an extended period this year. In the distant land of the setting sun he has labored, with characteristic success, to advance the cause of Christian education. While we have missed the cheer and encouragement of his association, we know that others have been made glad by our deprivation. When Puget Sound called for a represent- ative we sent our best. So, while light delays He seeks the fittest word to fill his phrase; Nor vain nor idle his fastidious guest, His chosen word is sure to prove the best. Page 8
