Board whose steady friendship, wise counsel, and intelligent appreciation were most prized. No doubt it was much the same feeling in Missoula that led to his promotion to the vice-presidency there. During his period of service in the University he was thought of as one of the best friends the Agricultural College had in the state. Any sketch of President Hamilton's career in the state would be incomplete that did not mention his work in teachers' institutes, which has taken him into nearly every part of the state, and, with his easy social qualities, has given him the widest personal acquaintance enjoyed by any man with the teachers of Montana. President Hamilton is a great believer in young people, and especially in young people who have to work their own way; for his own college education was made possible only by working as janitor, student assistant, and country school teacher while he was taking his college course. He holds the degree of M. S. from Union Christian College; and during his school superintendency he studied in the summer school of Clark University. With the preparation and experience that has been described, President Hamilton is now a: the beginning of what promises to be a long and successful term of office. At the time when President Hamilton first came to Bozeman to take up the work that Dr. Reid was laying down, it was remarked by one of the best and most useful friends that the College has ever had, that the pioneer days were over. Anyone who has talked with Mr. Hamilton about his plans and aims for the college as he is now beginning to realize them, knows that he is working for a development and extension of its work and resources that will make these days, too, look like pioneer days a few years hence. 18
