O itr Jprpstiirnt T SEEMS fitting that a great institution like ours should have as its president so great a scientist and adminis- trator as Henry Jackson Waters. When the Board of Regents selected him to be president it believed that it was getting the best man in the United States for the position. Since he has been here the Board has seen no i-eason to change its mind. President Waters is first of all a scientist. He is a specialist, an authority on animal husbandry. He has declared that if he could not be a produc- ing investigator and at the same time be president, he would not be presi- dent. His research has been close to the life of the people. The results that he has attained have attracted the attention of leading investigators both in this country and in Europe. He has done, and is doing, much to solve the vital problem of continuing meat production in a densely popu- lated country. As an administrator President Waters has few equals among American college presidents. He has always been successful in gaining and retaining the confidence of the farmers of the states that he has served. He stimu- lates his faculty to do its very best. He points out the goal that it is desirable to reach, leads the way, and inspires others to follow. As a result of the stimulus furnished by him this college has entered upon a period of enlarged usefulness to the people of this state. President Waters ' slogan, Let us return dollar for dollar, has taken hold of rank and file, faculty and students, and it is safe to predict a period of unpar- alleled development for the Kansas State Agricultural College.
