g Present and Absent QRDINARILY SUCH an event as the departure ofthe head of any insti- tution will cause it irreparable harm. When Colonel Cvignilliat left the Academy last May, the school was fortunate in having as his successor Major Glascock, whom a term of service here as long as the very existence of Culver, for most of that. time in the capacity of Headmaster, made peculiarly fitted for the duties- of the superin- tendent. The year now closing owes its success in great measure to the ability and the efforts of the former Headmaster. Compelled to replace, previous instructors with new men, facing' problems of re- organization and obliged to cope with 'many war measures-all of which were heretofore unheard of, Major Glascoclc deserved unstinted praise for his pains in keeping up to the standard of other years. At the same time it would be grossly unfair to deny to Colonel Gignil- liat the credit that is his for his great work while here' and his powerful influence' even while actually absent. That Culver and the things for which Culver stands are the result, and in many cases the conceptions, of an indi-vidual, no one familiar with this school and its record will deny, and that individual is Colonel Leigh Robinson Gignilliat. - J PAGE
