DR. LEWIS EDWARD HOLDEN A FEW years ago the college president was es- ■ - sentially a scholar, noted for his knowledge of Greek and Hebrew and his ignorance of everything practical. The ultra modern president is essentially a bu:iness man, of the corporation president type rather than the forgetful professor type. In Dr. Holden we feel we have a rare combination of these two kinds of college president which is unusual. For Dr. Holden is a busines-s man w ho knows business men and we need particularly at this time just such a man. We need to gain the prominence and the advertising w hich Dr. Holden through his wide business acquaintanceship can give to us. On the other hand, his educational prominence and his acquaintance among leading educators is almost equally pronounced. His education, his election to Phi Beta Kappa and his experience as professor mark him unquestionably as a college man. And w e know already from our brief acquaintance with him that he hcis a powerful personality in which we recognize a friend. We as students recognize in him a man of un- usual merit and we honor and respect him as a bus- iness man, as our college president, and as our friend.
