I k J President Riggs Goes to France When the Overseas Educational Commission petitioned the Board of Trustees for President Riggs ' services as a Director on the overseas board, it was not a ques- tion as to whether our President wanted to go or whether he wanted to stay, hut a question of where lies the greater opportunity for real service? ' Dr. Piggs left Clemson College on February 8, 1919. with the firm conviction that his absence from the College would be justified by his services abroad. He sailed for France from Xew York harbor a few days later. President Piggs will return to Clemson about August 15, 1919. Before giving up his Presidential duties for the remainder of this session, Dr. Piggs expressed deep regret at his being unable to award diplomas to the cla.-s of ' 19 but left the assurance that his heart was still with this College, and said that unless providentially hindered he would return to his work here with added experience and brighter hopes for a future Clemson. The class of ' 19 extends to him its best wishes for the success of his work in France and a pleasant return to Clemson College. Pro fessor S. B. Earle, Director of the Engineering Department is acting President in the absence of Dr Riggs. Page Tiventy-four
