MMMJa.faMW «traB«« i WINTHROP ELLS WORTH, STONE Winthrop Ellsworth Stone, beloved by all that knew him and a friend to all, passed over the great divide while pur- suing his favorite avocation in the great outdoors. At the utterance of his last words, I see nothing higher, he was claimed by nature as its own. Truly typical of his last utterance and as high minded as the lofty peak which he had just scaled, Dr. Stone will ever live in the memory of his host of friends as a great man who had accomplished great deeds. In dedicating this book to the memory of Winthrop Ells- worth Stone, the Class of 1922 wishes to express its keen loss at the death of this man who for twenty-one years was peer of Purdue University. It is not usual that one man should excel in various fields; however, Dr. Stone accomplished this in a very extraor- dinary way. Not only was he the president of a great institution, but also a renowned chemist and an executive of rare ability. The manner in which he guided the des- tinies of Purdue University won for him the admiration of the entire nation. He ever had before him the ideals which are so manifested in his living memorial — our Alma Mater. His ideals were high, his creed was simple, and his devotion to his high office foremost. His honesty was unapproach- able and his pursuance of the right continuous. In all mat- ters he was open-minded and he was never influenced by the unscrupulous. The growth of the University stands as a monument to his unusual executive ability, which marked him as being one of the leading educators of the West. At this critical moment in the history of Purdue Univer- sity, when everything was in readiness for a decided ad- vancement and when his rare good judgment was needed, he was taken from us. Time can never erase the great monument of service which he has erected. — He served his country and his generation well.
