-L - i . 3515684246 - - , Ii rlg? H i Q M he was annually voted the best teacher by the seniors in the Yale Scientific School-a warm tribute to his personality and a true index of his professional capacity. Dr. Granville has been, for years, an educator of national prominence and a mathematician of international reputation. He has had exceptional training and oppor- tunities as a professional educator. He is a keen investigator, an inspiring teacher and an efficient executive. His membership in various important national scientific societies shows the estimate placed upon him by his professional colleagues. He has published many valuable contributions to science and has written several leading text books on mathe- matics. His Differential and Integral Calculus is now the most widely used text book on calculus in English, and is accepted by our foremost mathematicians as the standard text book on that great subject. Dr. Granville's influence has been felt in every direction wherever he has lived. His earnest and efficient labors as one of the organizers MA bg. of the First English Lutheran Church in New ag? Haven, Conn., and as the beloved Superintendent of its Sunday School, are now known to all 3 , Lutherans. The tributes of esteem which have i come publicly from the people of New Haven tg A since Dr. Granville's removal to Gettysburg 75, 15' 'J' if have served to emphasize his past usefulness and 5 3 1 A 7 high standing as one of that city's leading citizens. i' Fifi' . . . . X V V, Dr. Granville has exceptional qualifications 2 for the high office he now occupies. He has .. , I 'f '31-. i' til -' xg. 11-31:- f taken to Gettysburg such strength and capacity .Q . - if as, in these days of great opportunities at the Universities, seldom, if ever, go in any one per- ' V sonality to a small college. The students at Get- 1897 tysburg speak of their love for him as for a father. Gettysburg men everywhere, now that they have seen and heard the President and felt his influence, realize the great good fortune that has come to old Gettysburgng and the thought of Granville and Greater Gettysburg is full to overflowing with respect and admiration for our leader, and with love and high hopes for our Alma Mater. Gettysburgians are gratified beyond measure that their President is a lovable per- sonality, an eminent educator, a line teacher, an exceptional executive and a distinguished representative. But they are also devoted to Mrs. Granville and the Misses Granville, who give to Dr. Granville without reserve the sympathy and support that such a devoted public servant merits, and who bring to the campus that atmosphere and charm which is making the White House at Gettysburg an exceptional influence for all that is highest and best in college life.

During his undergraduate days at Yale, Dr. Granville s capacity to work his way along without materially interrupting his studies was taxed to the utmost. Y his in- genuity and fortitude were equal to the task. Thus he serxed for a time as a public A expert accountant and in that capacity cleared up the confused affairs of several New Haven corporations. Ar another time during a vacation he toolc the position of lliirzi assistant engineer with a corporation engaged in constructing an electric railway to a suburban terminus. l-le began work in this capacity at a dollar' a day . ln less than three months his exceptional ability carried him forward to the position of chief engineer in charge of the entire plant-and to a salary commensurate with the responsi- bilities of that position. lncidents of this kind might be multiplied. They rexealed to his Yale associates his versatility his resourcefulness his firm purposes and his strength of character.
