Every year his life has become more wrapped up in lvllltlllilll. As reports of the wonderful work he was doing here went East, positions with much higher salaries were offered him. The opportunity to be president of old W'illiams, his alma mater, was put aside because VVhitman needed him more. ' He was made a Doctor of Divinity by Ripon College in IQO2, in recognition of his splendid work in the cause of Chris- tian education. He is also a member of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions and devotes a large share of his time and thought to missionary work. VVhit1nan College, his lovely family, and his Christianity are the trinity of his affections, each of which he loves with an intense, hearty devotion, of which only such a man as he is capable. He loves to dream of VVhitman as the apex of the educational pyramid in the coming industrial empire of Vtlashington, and often speaks of it as the future Yale of the North- west. , The two characteristics which impress one most in President Penrose are his wonderful capacity for .work, and his approachable, sympathetic disposition. Every homesick prep is called by his first name with a naturalness which endears President Penrose to him forever afterwards. To be under him in the class-room and daily hear his keen analysis of the problems of philosophy is indeed a privilege. To be under the daily influence of his Christian character is an inspiration, the value of which we can hardly estimate. Wie have seen Dr. Penrose receive the President of the United States with charming grace and dignity, and we have seen this same Penrose play baseball at a college picnic with the abandon of a school boy. NVe Juniors, who rarely flinch at any task, feel ourselves utterly incompetent to 'do justice to such a man-we drop our pencil in despair, Respectfully, reverently, we lay down our sincere tribute to our president. All that Xufhitman is, and whatever she may become, is due in large measure to the genius and devotion of Stephen B. L. Penrose. 18 ..i.
