In summary it may be stated that the whole Endowment , 5 of the Collee has increased eleven timesgl the value of the College ro erty has S g P p tripledg and the Student Enrollment has nearly doubled, since 1903. All these material gains are only the outward manifestation of the greater riches he has brought to us. ' ' -. 4 . ' V . ' - - - . . 1 Such 1S the story that you will not find in National Bzographzes, or Who s Who, but , GI which is brighter and dearer to us than the splendid list of his other great achieve' 'P ments and honors. It is both hard and easy to write of him-hard, because, he A 1 ,.,i , ' stands so high that any but the briefest mention of him would be impertinentng easy, ' l because we love him so well. We heard and read of him before we came to College. i . That first day in Chapel, when everything was so new and exciting and fine, he came w in cap and gown, and the upperclassmen whispered, as we rose to do him honor, 'Q That's Prexy. We come back every Fall and find things changed--there are new 1 'v '. It 4 1 n . n l 4 faces, but the buildings and the elms remain the same. At the bonfire in the evening if -' Elf. we hear Prexy speak, he welcomes us back to Oberlin, and again we are- at home. 4 . These and many other things we remember, for they lie deep in our lives. We shall never forget President King's reading of that great sermon, The ,i fi .5 Well in the Valley of Bakaf' Once this spot was barren and desert, now it is a place rj of wells. Among them is that which he himself has dug. Its waters are the waters R ' ff of quietness, and those who thirst may drink, and know the sweetness of simplicity, 1 A lf' of humility, of friendship with all mankind. For all these things we are thankful, ' I f and let us be thankful all the days of our lives: we have walked and talked with I greatness.

That message was to sound a note of gladness down the years, LEA through generations of students, and to ring in the four corners of the earth. In the old files of the Review, we find one number devoted to the occasion. Among .9 I all the other articles and messages of congratulation, there is one that makes us smile, j for it puts down in all its boyish sincerity and expressive slang, a real student tribute. 'Q ,ax It is in the form of a letter in rhyme, as follows: A ' Hi Dear Ned: You surely should have been in town the other night. 5' To see a celebration carried on about all right. -I pd l-3 The Trustees met one afternoon and did the proper thing By naming as our Prexy, Dr. Henry Churchill King. You've heard of him, I guess: I think he's been here quite a while, - Q And when it comes to fond respect, he's made his little pile. if' 3 Quite late at night they hammered on the good old Chapel bell, W! And all the kids came tumbling out to give the College yell. fl, We took a cab to Baldwin, where the Trustees had a party, 'A And put the President inside, with greetings good and hearty. A, My, but the girls were wrathy, 'cause they had to stay in bed, if 7 While we were marching down the street with Prexy at the head. If And when we came to Prexy's house we halted every wheel, To see him in his party rags, to hear him make a spiel, 5 And everything grew quiet, as when on football days, ' Gar says, They're giving signals now, and everybody prays. ? He made a keen old speech that night, and all the fellows went 4 ,D To shake his wing, and smile a few upon the President. Ang. About the time the midnight car came rushing down the track, 3 We all pulled out, and then pulled in. Affectionately, --JACK. ff 1' i l 'L 4, E fl: . l I , f V, In May, in the following Spring of 1903, came the even greater day of his inf auguration. The Speaker was Mr. Washington Gladden. He walked with the new President in the long procession, with the underclassmen dressed in white, and wearing their distinctive colors, the Seniors in cap and gown, and the theologs in Sunday black. As they passed between the lines of cheering people, this great visitor marvelled at the power of the man beside him, who could awaken such looks of trust and ad' miration. In a report submitted to the Trustees during his first year, the new President out' lined a plan of thirty four definite needs of the College toward the fulfillment of which he intended to give every effort Out of the entire list there are only seven which have not been accomplished and two of these pertain to the Oberlin Academy which no longer exists Some of the significant acquisitions of this great advance under his leadership are The Chapel Organ the Administration Building the Library Build mg and its Endovx ments Endowments for Fellowships in the Seminary and for Page twenty four N55 A 4 Ql- CI f' 45- 'M' xi -ss: A - 1 T33 -3'-1133-'S,:u.
