iJU TTIHIIE, THE HEAD MASTER After a brief wait, I gain admittance to the private office of Mr. Boocock. As I wish to talk with him at some length, he indicates a chair, and resumes his own. As he tilts it back, I am at once impressed with an air of natural and intelligent informality. He speaks, and his voice, kept clear and powerful — as I learned later — bv his Glee Club activities, his expression, at once sharp, laughing and poised, and his language, frank because his character is straightforward, and enriched instead of deadened by ten years of academic experience, make each phrase seem forceful and impressive. The ring of the telephone interrupts him; and as he is thus engaged. I do not rehnquish my attention. I observe that his skin is tan and his body lithe from incessant tennis and sailing, that membership in the Delta Phi fraternity and service in the United States Navy have given him a keen insight on human character and fraternal relations, and that his thirty-two years have given him a manner at once aggressive, natural, and congenial. I conclude that the trustees could hardly have made a better choice in finding a successor to Dr. Warren. The telephone call is ended, and we resume our business. In a few brisk sentences the matter is cleared up. 1 pump his hand, and go on m ' wa - rejoicing. 10
