nary. His simplicity of Christian life, his habitual prayerfulness, his love for the Bible, and his love for his brethren in the ministry, especially his younger brethren — the students, qualify him to make his teaching fascinating. Students look forward to the hours when they meet him : they are sure of finding strength and inspiration. They soon discover that the teacher is impatient with details, unless they mean something. They find themselves in the grip of a man who is dealing with principles, with generalizations. Tliey feel the compliment which the teacher pays as he assumes that they know the reasons of his generalizations, and they are incited to investigation. Incidentally he reveals the width and variety of his reading, the range of his infonnation, the exactness of his knowl- edge. His power is that of a stimulating university lecturer, not that of an academic drill-master. There is also a history written in institutions. The life history of Dr. Weston is written large in the Crozer Seminary, a memorial more enduring than bronze. As administrator, wisdom is President Weston ' s marked characteristic. He well illustrates the combination of wisdom and energy. He knows what can be done under given circumstances, and does not permit fretfulness or worry to weaken his power. The rapid growth of the Seminary and the place it occupies in de- nominational thought are due to his patience, tact, forbearance and executive efficiencv. It has required no ordinary administrative ability to establish a school whose material equipment is worth $500,000, whose alumni are joyously enthu- siastic in devotion, whose faculty are cordial co-workers, and whose curriculum is marked by breadth, variety and quality. But greater than his words or his works is the man himself. No one who has heard Dr. Weston speak but could refer to him what one of our . merican poets wrote of another: ' e, listening, learned what makes the might of words, manhood to match them, constant as a star.
