EAR old Prexy! Somehow he has always impressed me as something more than flesh and blood,-a sort of disembodied, benelieent spirit, flittinghither and thither. Today he's inAlfred ethicising freshmen, tomorrow in New York gathering dueats for the Betterment Fund, and the next day out west lecturing on Agriculture-forever working in the interest of his little college in the hills. God bless you, Prexy! May your eeaseless activity be rewarded in the growth of a new Alfred, richer in facilities and broader in purpose than the old. ALPHIEIJS B.

Dean Kenyon, the embodiment of the square deal! He eom- bines the greatest personal kindness with the strictest oH'ic'ial reetitude, and governs his boys and girls so taelfully that all love and revere him. Anyone would know that he was :L mathematician by his exactness. He never begins a class a moment too early or close it a moment too late. He is altogether such a pattern of regularity as you read about in story books but seldom see in actual life. As a teacher he is gentle, carefully inductive and noted for his kind considera- tion of his students. 8

N the hurry and worry of modern life there is one man who has time to cultivate ideals, and that man is Dean Main. Dean Main is a big man in body, mind and heart. You instinctively feel that he is above the trivial and the conventional, and it is even so. From his cloistered study and quiet meditation he brings to us a philosophy that is immediately applicable to the con- cerns of everyday life, and a faith that looks with assurance beyond the present and beholds afar off the consummation of human yearnings for the Infinite. WILLIAM CALVIN VVHITFORD, A. M., D. D. C1893D Prwrssor qf Bfbliral Langlzagcs and Lilrmmre. A. ll., Colgate University, ,863 A. M., '995 D. D., Alfred University, '073 Union Theological Seminary, ,923 Delta Upsilon and Phi Beta Kappa Fraternities. RT, literature and religion with smne men are things to be admired and forgotten, with Professor Whitford they are things to be lived. He does not find a high degree of scholarship incom- patible with participation to the full in the life of the local community. Professor, we think you've bit the point. The great justification for higher education is its applicability to everyday conditions. Is it not a sufficient tribute to say in the same breath that a man is a learned professor and a good neighbor, a Christian minister and a successful man of business? 9
