Xhfltll united effort on the part of all inter- ested theie cannot fail to be a decided advance in efficiency and reputa- tion of the institution l 1om tno alumni of the tlme. Dr. CIZINXN ford was so full of energy that he vitalized the college when it was near to decadence and threw himself into IIS rejuvenation some- tnnes almost unaided It is most difficult to furnish enthusiasm when you must shoulder responsibilities alone. Dr Crawford s energy was never lacking and 'he never was ready to believe he had done en-ough I remem- ber the times of old wooden walks, a campus th.at never had seen a lawn mower, gas stoves until they were replaced 'by such coal -stoves as country stations iave. . L illecl to the piesidency of Xlleffheny College thc opening of the cuuent 'year he was not long The su-bstitution of steam heat, t-he 'beautifying of It-he campus by a landscape gardener, the modernizationof the whole plant, curiculum, office management and faculty system, the increased -pay, granting of sabbatic leave, are all innovations due entirely to Dr. 'Craiwfordf' He has exemplified the ideal of counting one's cause everything and one's self nothing, better than any other man I knolw. I have never known Dr. Crawford to talk five minutes without saying something di-i rectly or indirectly laudaftory of Allegheny College, yet I have never heard him say one word that even hinted at a magnification of his own achievements. This is real greatness. C b I have never heard President Crawford say one word that even sav- ored of resentment toward his enemies, yet we all know he has had ene- mies. To all outward appearances, he has the power of retaining a kindly attitude toward those who oppose him. This also is real greatnezs U i1--- Y . - - V - ....,. ..A1':f,A,., -.ref -- --,,..r,.... --W ...Y . ..-.---'.,,.:..-nz ,ma-.,, ., N.. ,,,,,. .., . , - -' s - M - ---we-1-.f-www,-eg. .. .,-.. ,M LGT it, at I ,,.-:j Ip I Q l i im Li ,.......3l ...ip al 5 x 1 l ,l I tri. ...Q .5 it , ........,..,.,, y!
