U E T T E HE rare privilege of knowing Dr. Armistead has been succeeded by a very beautiful memory of him and to our feeling of deep loss at his going is added a great gratitude for all that was given to us by our association with him. During the eighteen years that he taught at Agnes Scott, Dr. Armistead was held by the students in highest regard and devotion. We admired him for his power of clear and vigorous thinking, his unerring judgment and his rare ability of dis- cernment, and over and above all for his love of knowledge for its own sake which made him a scholar of the highest type. It was through daily association with his way of thinking and feeling that we gained a lasting conception of the spirit of learning; one which will endure as a very precious and living possession. The genuineness of his friendship was a quality which made him universally beloved upon the cam pus, and while as a brilliant teacher he held up to us the vision of the ideal the charm of his personality made his- influence felt everywhere. Students went to him constantly for interest and counsel and sympathy in big and little affairs and he was unfailing in readiness to understand, to appreciate and en- courage, to advise, to support and to work with them ' . It was this gracious friend- liness that has made his loss felt most keenly, while the recollection of it com- forts us. His courage and hopefulness, the gracious gentleness of his nature are inseparable from our memory of him. Through his influence and through his active service he helped to make pos- sible all that is best loved at Agnes Scott. The campus will retain always the im- press of his life who knew so well the art of living; he is one of the choir invisible whose music is the gladness of the world. The memorial which we would raise to him is that of loyalty to that conception of life which he wished so earnestly to give us; of eagerness to follow with singleness of aim the spirit of truth. 6 -
