KAPNOR Quinn restart jtlcfttunuell, 1913. E. NV RESIDENT JOHN PRESTON MCCONNELL, PH. D., the Q92 I subject of this sketch, was born in Scott County, Virginia, February 22, IS66. He was reared on the farm and thus secured that valuable training, in contact with nature, which is indispensable to XS successful life, and that physical vigor which is the precursor of 6-' V X capacity for much hard work. In his development, from early childhood to mature manhood, he has had opportunity to see and experience something of every phase of Southern educational effort. He sums up in his life the traditions of this great Southern mountain section. He personifies the best aspira- tions of a great Southern people. He has a personal acquaintance with people through- out this end of the commonwealth that is admirable, a personal touch that causes the people to place confidence in himg a genial manner that wins friends for himself and his institution, and makes no enemies. He is courteous and tactful in his dealings with other people, which fact enables him to drive successfully to the attainment of purposes without antagonizing those differing with him. In his administration of the Radford Normal School his work has been singularly free from criticism. The people who patronize this institution express in their attitude the belief that President McConnell will do the right thing in his dealings. Probably no normal school president is more loyally supported by the confidence and coiiperation of the whole people than is President McConnell. Thus he has an unparalleled oppor- tunity for really constructive service in the present progressive Southern civilization, in which Virginia has a large part. Not one of his friends doubts that he will measure up to this opportunity in a large way in setting the ideals of this institution. Jos. E. AVENT.
