Harvey Daniel Hoover ', ARVEY DANIEL HOOVER was an esteemed member of the faculty of his Alma Mater. Susquehanna Univer- 5 sity. when in 1909 he was called to the presidency of Car- 6 thage College. On July 29th of that same year he began his administration as president with the distinction of A I I being the youngest college president in the United States. 'B' -- ---' H - ' His administration is indeed a new era for Carthage College. for ever since he has been at its head. the college has been growing numerically. financially. scholastically, and spiritually. This growth is largely the result of his untiring efforts in behalf of the school. The enthusiastic field work done by him has increased the number of students. friends. and benefactors. The hard-fought campaign to raise our additional 5100.000 endowment was made successful through his en- deavors. It is through his good judgment and wisdom that we now have such a splendid faculty. each member of which is so well prepared for his particular work. And more than all. the whole school is uplifted spiritually under the infiuence of his consecrated life. His kind. sympathetic and gen- ial disposition soon wins for him a place in the hearts of all the students. He is never too busy. with all his cares. to give the students a pleasant greeting when he meets them in the halls or on the campus. As he travels up and down the state and into adjoining states in the interests of the college. he wins many friends for the school through his pleasing personality. enthusiasm. and power as a speaker. He has deliv- ered hundreds of addresses inihigh schools. churches. and at conventions in the college territory. and wherever he goes. we hear only the highest praise for him. In a clipping from the VVashington. Ill.. News for June. 1912. we find an account of the high school commencement at which President Hoover was the speaker. This article says of him: Dr. Hoover is a noted educator and a brilliant speaker. The Burlington. Ia.. Gazette says in an account of a sermon preached by him: The President of Carthage College has many warm friends in this city who are always pleased to have an op- portunity of hearing the eloquent pastor. The Dubuque. Ia.. Telegraph- Hcrnld of Jan. 12. 1914-. in an announcement of his address on The Peer- less Rule of Lifef' says: During the term of his service he has placed Carthage College in the front rank of denominational colleges in the Missis- ippi valley. In the Hendon. Ill.. Disymfch is an account of a baccalaureate sermon preached by him. It reads: It was a wonderfully hushed and im- pressed throng that listened to the greatest sermon of its kind ever heard in Mendon. one that will never be forgotten. C. C. students enjoy hearing him speak just as well as these people in other places. and avail themselves of every opportunity of hearing his splendid lectures and sermons. Besides all that he does for the college. he keeps in touch with the progress of the world and is doing his share in the advancement of learning. He is a member of the American Sociological Society, the American Insti- tute of Sacred Literature, the Lutheran Historical Academy. the National Education Association, the National Geographic Society. the National Child Labor Committee. the Religious Education Association. the Brothers of the Book. the Association of American Colleges and the North Central Associa- tion of Colleges and Secondary Schools. As an expression of gratitude for the noble service rendered the college bv our beloved president. teacher and friend. the class of 1916 respectfully dedicates this book to him. with the hope that the college may he blessed by many years more of his service.
