iBresiI1ent Blank Faithfulness to an ideal has found a fruition in the Lewis'on State Normal school. President lllack has held, nurtured, pursuegl and im- pressed that ideal during thirteen years of service in the educational field of Idaho as head of this institution, The world is a man4its impulses, ifs achievements, its destiny. Preeminent in man's activity, as worthy of the loftiest efforts, have always been and always will lze those directed toward the end that the individual, an'l thus 21'l society, :shall the clearer gain the knowledge thai life's endeavors should be marked by fortitude and patience, yet impelled by the confidence that in all good effort thus directed there is full reward. It is not here the purpose to comment: on the educational equipment of President Black. which has gained such wide recognition as the result of his labors here which broadened to a field far beyond state lines. It is here only the purpose to comment on the educational presiige of President lllack. which has brought such wide recognition to Lewiston Normal. lt is here only the purpose to acknowledge appreciation of the marked influence that his personality has exerted in the life of this ins'itution. We can say with assurance that the beneficiaries of his inspiration and his labors appreciate and love him for his unfailing' loyalty and help. His has been a hopeful, cheerful, kindly, willing ideal-rs and we know ours has been made the more so. That he could leave the institution, was in the intensity of our regrets at F11-st. beyond understanding to vs-the school has been so much Mr. Blackg so much the many so much the ideal we had nurtured, accepted and embraced as the idol of the endeavors we had pledged to our state. Vet in these first impulses we were not so thoughtful as our ideal would dictate to us. A call to the judgment and conscience of Mr. Black would take him to other fields and with characteristic loyalty to duty he would still pursue that life ideal. Mr. Black's going is a loss to school, to community, and to state- It is a gain of a tower of strength and usefulness and a new destiny for the Ellensburg State Normal. Ellensburg State Normal, we congratulate you! Mr. Black, we love ynu still!
