R 0 y a Z P zz r 73 I Q A11 Appreciation James Elliott Harlan came to Cornell College as a student in 1863 and graduated in 1869. Four years later he was called by the alumni of the college to the position of the alumni professorship of mathematics. In 1881 he became vice-president of the college. He held this position continuously until 1908 when he was elected president. By his resignation June 16 last, Cornell lost a man who, in the forty-one years that he was connect- ed with the institution was one of the guiding factors in its development. He saw Cornell College grow from a small college in Iowa to one of the foremost colleges in the United States. During his six years as president of the institu- tion new courses of study were added, a campaign for an endowment of SF500,000 was successfully com- pleted, and there has been a continuous increase in the efficiency of the college. Surely this is a record of which he may well be proud. It would be difficult to find, indeed there probably cannot he found, in the history of the colleges of the Middle West, an example of greater fidelity to a great trust, greater sacrifices in order to maintain that fidelity, more wisdom and justice in administration, or a more exalted Christian spirit, than was shown by President Harlan in the forty-one years that he was connected with Cornell College. As an alumnus said, 'The position of Doctor Harlan in our hearts is impregnable'. 9 1 6' . 71
