■ ■ m T)ebris WINTHROP ELLSWORTH STONE President of Purdue I niversity THE University, as it stands today, speaks more forcibly titan any words, not only of hi untiring devotion to its scholastic interests, but also to his wise direction of its material affairs. When l)r. Stone Itceamc President there were seven hundred students. sixtyseven members of the faculty, and eight buildings. Under hi leadership the attendance has grown to twenty-five hundred, the faculty increased to two hundred and ten. and the number of buildings has been multiplied by three. Called into State and National councils as a leader in the cause of technical education, he inspires universal respect and confidence. l oth for himself and the University he represents. President Stone, descendant of a long line «»i New England ancestors, has the stropg characteristics of the rugged stock from which he comes—an uncompromising honesty of thought, speech and purpose, a clearness of vision and a courage of conviction that prevents his yielding the ultimate good to tltc immediate emergency. With untiring steadfastness and devotion he has brought to the sendee of this University for thirty years those qualities of mind and character which have helped to make Purdue great. An unswerving adherence to principle, a singular ability to discern and grasp the essentials of every problem ami situation, a promptness and decision in action, a fearlessness in fighting every influence which would undermine the morale or lower the standards of the University, have characterized his service. When our country entered the war. President Stone set an example for the universities of America by promptly pledging Purdue's entire resources of men. money and equipment to the war service of the State and Nation. Purdue's response and war record arc written where all may read. Ftt these latter years the results of his work arc becoming increasingly apparent in Purdue's growing and enviable reputation a a University where character is put aliovc money, where hard, dean work, on the field or in the shop, measures a man's success, a University where, men are developed and where a fine piece of work, finely done, i deemed its own reward. These are the ideals that guide our President. I'AUr Kixiinrrx ; PURDUE 5 UNIVERSITY j,
