Kiss RuHAKi) , M. M. K., Kn(. 1)., LI..D. President of Ihe Vnivenity ALTHOUGH comparatively young in the life of Leiiigh, Dr. Richards has effected a complete reorganization of the University since his arrival. Much of the work which he has done is already noticable. .Although the school has remained fundamentally the same, many improved facilities for the advance- ment and acquiring of knowledge have been made available through his efforts. His worth as one of the outstanding educational leaders of the country has now been fully recognized, not onlv by the work which he has accomplished since at Lehigh, but also through his ' activities in other branches, and in other schools. With a dream of a Greater Lehigh , he has not only brought about many long- needed changes in the school, but has advanced the standing of the University as well. , , . L J The enrollment of the University, as well as the number of instructors, has ad- vanced fifty per cent during the last five years. The endowment of the college has also been considerably increased, and at the same time, several new buildings have Ijeen added to the Lehigh campus. .-Mthough the days of realizing all the dreams of a completely and well e(|uipped Lehigh are still in the future. Dr. Richards has been largely responsible for what im|)rovcnients have been made, as well as for those which have been planned for the future.

Henry Sturgis Drinker, E. M., LL.D. President Emeritus of the University Merion Station, Pa. Dr. Drinker, present President Emeritus of Lehigh, clearly foresaw the conditions and problems of a new University, while actively engaged here and proceeded in a business like way to solve them. To him we owe a debt from the past, which it is impossible for us to pay. . long with .Asa Packer, with Dr. Coppee, with Dr. Leavit, with Dr. Lambert, with Dr. Chandler, and with Dr. Drown, Dr. Drinker stands as one of the outstanding figures in the development of the present Lehigh. Coming as the result of the work of such a group of men, the Lehigh of today honors and reveres the accomplishments of these men in the past. Their work has been invaluable, but they have accounted their time well spent. With such a heritage from the past, wc can only endeavor to add to the glory of the illustrious future of the Lehigh which they have built.
