S I LH y (D Sr. 31. U. Hrfflatn HEN at a meeting of the board of trustees, held May twenty-fifth. Dr. J. R. McCain was unanim ously elected president of Agnes Scott College, universal joy was felt among the students who had so earnestly desired that this would take place. Although for a number of years he had been holding the office of vice-president, and during the period following the death of Dr. Gaines had served as acting pres- ident, he was unwilling that the office of president be bestowed automatically upon him, wishing the board of trustees to be entirely free in choosing some- one for the office. Dr. McCain possesses to a very high degree the qualities which fit him for his position of responsibility, above all the quality of broad and clear vision. His interest in the students as individuals, his sympathetic under- standing of them and his unfailing faith in them as a body, have led them always to look to him as a friend; and in all that he does he will receive, as far as lies within their power, the loyal support of the students and the alumnae who honor and love him.
