FROM KANSAS CITY TIMES In granting the degree of I.. I,. I), to Frof. E. C. White of the Central High school the state University of Missouri has paid a fitting tribute to one of Kansas City’s most honored citizens. Perhaps no man in our state is more deserving of such a distinguished compliment than he. As an educator of life-long experience he has few equals, and as an elegant, refined gentleman.no superiors. The influence for that which is highest and noblest, which such as he bring into the educational field, cannot » e overestimated. The un.versity is the more honored hv this compliment to one of the most worthy educators in the West. THE HONOR IS DESERVED. High Tribute to Dr. White, Principal of Central High School. To the Editor of the Kansas City Times. It was with genuine satisfaction that I read the special dispatch from Columbia, Mo., published in The times, that the board of curators of the University of Missouri had conferred upon Principal K. C. White the degree of 1,1,. D. The records of the university show that when he graduated he was the valedictorian of his class, and since his graduation he hasdevoted his life to teaching. In 1872 he was elected as teacher in the Central high school and four years later principal of that school which position hy filled with the very highest degree of satisfaction for eleven years. He decided in 1W7 to retire from school work for a time at least, and I wrote in the annual report for that year the following: “At the high school. Principal K. C. White, after an uninterrupted connection with that school for fifteen years, eleven of them as principal, resigned the position that he has so ably acceptably filled. His resignation was deeply regretted by teachers, pupils and patrons generally. and he has remained at the head of the school for tho past two years only at the ernest solicitation of the l oardof education and of myself. His even disposition, excellent judgement broad and catholic views, high order of scholarship, deep sympathy with all pupils, justness in dea'ing with all classes—these qualifications coupled with a warm and generous enthusiasm in teaching, fitted him pre-eminenjiy for the delicaleaml responsible daties of the i osiiion. He carries with him into private life the gratitude of hundreds of pupils upon whose lives he left a deep and abiding impression. Two years later he was elected vice-principal of the Central high school and entered upon the active duties of his profession again. When Mr. J. T. Buchanan resigned two years ago Principal K. C. White was unanimously chosen principal. In fact, no other name was seriously considered by the l»oard. The qualities of mind and heart that I emphasized eleven years ago in regard to I)r. White I can only reiterate today. Through all these years we have stood closely together as Ikjsoiu friends, and time has only deepened my convictions; and the sentiments I entertain are most heartily concurred in hy every teacher in his school. The honor conferred upon him will indeed be glad news to the thousands of grown men and women who have l een connected with the Central eiglt school, and a genuine pleasure to Ins fellow teachers in this and other states. The degree was worthily ane honorably bestowed, and no one rejoices more than myself in this fitting recognition of his ability, scholarship and practical and successful management of the laagest mixed high school in the United States, and I close with the fervent wish that his life may be prolonged beyond the three score and ten limit, and that he may remain active in school work of this city to the end.
