NE WTON LLOYD ,HNDRE WS HIS issue of the SALMAGUNDI is dedicated to Dr. N. L. Andrews, who, as student and teacher, has been connected with Colgate University for nearly half a century. During this period, it has been his privilege to witness a wonderful growth and not only to witness but to contribute to that growth. He was graduated from the college in '62, and from the Seminary in '64. During his seminary course, he taught as an assistant in the Grammar School and on his graduation was elected to the Principalship. While Principal, he also served the college as Adjunct Professor of Latin. In '68, he was trans- ferred to the Department of Greek Language and Literature, retaining, however, his Principalship until '69, when circumstances so shaped that he could give his undivided attention to his work in the college. In connection with his work in Greek Literature he introduced a course upon Greek Art. By degrees the course has been so enlarged as to include all the important epochs in Europe, Egypt and Asia Minor. During the last ten years of President Dodge's administration Cfrcm '80 to '9OJ, he held the position of Dean. It is no disparagement to Dr. Dodge to say that a large share of the success of his administration was due to the loyal and disinterested codperation of Dean Andrews, indeed, Dr. Dodge frequently and spontaneously emphasized that fact. During the live years inter- regnum, following the death of Dr. Dodge, besides doing the work in his own department, Dean Andrews was burdened with many of the duties which naturally devolved upon a.President. The responsibilities in such a situation are heavier, the perplexities more numerous, the dangers greater than those connected with an established administration. The institution, however, grew in numbers and influence. A dispassionate review of this epoch, compels admi- ration for the wise, tireless, unselfish service rendered g not alone in loyalty to his Alma Mater, but in devotion to that high purpose, expressed in our motto, Deo ac Veritati. ' On the election of President Smith, Dr. Andrews was permitted to devote himself entirely to his chosen work. To the student of recent years, he is known as the beloved and inspiring teacher. There are teachers and teachers. There are teachers who have not mastered their subjects. Archbishop Cranmer, referring to one of his Cambridge professors, said, H He was such an one who, when he came to any hard chapter which he well understood not, would find some pretty toy to shift it off and to skip over to another chapter which he could better skill. But no future Archbishop who happens to graduate from Colgate will ever make such a criticism of our Kai Gar. For him, there are no hard
