,A A m 1881. His administration among us has been marked by that vigor and thoroughness which form prominent features in Dr. Cummings ' character. A more liberal elective system has been devised, and the curriculum modified in other ways to meet the demands upon our growing institu- tion. Improvements in and around the University buildings and gym- nasium have been made as fast as the funds of the school would allow. In scholarship and morality the standards insisted upon by Dr. Cum- mings are of the highest character. A comparatively small part of the useful and honored career of our President has been spent in connection with our own University. He came to us crowned with years of noble achievement in the departments of educational, literary and religious thought. In the class-room we are impressed with the breadth of his views and the keenness of his intellect ; out of it he inspires us with the force of his personal character. With a career so honored and successful both in the past and pres- ent, it is our hope that many years of usefulness may yet be allotted to our President.
