| CHEi::; IGENDA e J -INETEENXIWENTYONE THE president of a university to a greater degree than any other person con- nected Viith it, if he wishes to accomplish the highest purpose his position offers, comes in closest touch with the Faculty, Students, Alumni, and Friends. These all may be — and they ought to be — summoned to help in his grand design of laying broad and deep the foundations of the institution and of extending its reputation throughout the country and the world. The ability and the dispo- sition to rally these four helpers are not given to all who sit in presidential chairs. The energy required is often too great; the adaptability too rare; the interest in the matter, too feeble; the vision, too dim and narrow. Our new President, in the short time he has been in charge, has shown that he is determined to meet, if not to surpass, our great expectations. To the Faculty he is appreciative, cordial, sympathetic; to the Students he is accessible, patient, sympathetic; to the Alumni he is brotherly, deferential, zealous; to the Friends he is attractive, enthusiastic, inspiring. With him in the lead, all the forces that ought to work as one man for the good of Bucknell have already begun to move forward in many directions; and a result, greater than that accomplished in the past, looms clear and large in the present, to be fully realized, no doubt, in the not-distant future. It is no easy task for one who is not an Alumnus to grasp quickly and suc- cessfully the complex interests of an institution and marshal them harmoniously to the work in hand. This can be done only when to the fortiter in re there is joined the suaviter in modo. for both of which the new President was distinguished long before he came hither. Some good angel led by kindly stars brought to us as Presi- dent, Dr. Emory W. Hunt; and now, when there is no cloud in the sky and not a flutter of doubt in the heart, let all — Faculty, Students, Alumni, Friends — continue to meet him, as they have already given many signs of doing, with a whole-hearted and lasting WELCOME. ♦ . . . - • ■♦•
