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.

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.

Let no one think that this new hope arises from the ashes of a fallen idol. It does not spring from any disappointment as to our accomplishments during the past few years. At the hands of devoted, diligent. and faithful servants our lnstitution has in no wise suffered. 2,1 If MEP' i- . s.1Qf,,:eg.' .49 fu . . ,-.ra-1.5 ii: '?L,2'r1.'1.1f,',:- , - F,:ZIZfy- 5-' .1 I ' lfmelfwfQ1e5MffErwEzA5?.f1fffl:.ffm ff 1w:..t- ',n- rf Ji lr ,P But we have not attained to the heights of which we are capable.
