f iaq2i5ia 15.221 Eziiaigrbgvjgagegzaa-gfgrser Dr. Silas Evans R. Silas Evans held the presidency of Ripon College from 1910 to 1917, and after four years of absence, during which he was president of Occidental College, Los Angeles, Calif., returned to Ripon in the spring of 1921. At that time he had numerous opportunities to accept commercial or religious positions or other college presidencies, but the appeal of the trustees, faculty, students, and alumni, together with his keen love for his Alma Mater led him Hback home. 5' I1ere,for nine years his unthing xvork,lns rare abihty as a speaker, and his noble and magnanimous character have made him beloved by all Who have come Within the scope of his influence. During both periods of his enthusiastic leadership Ripon College has prospered and grown. His reputation is state and nation-Wide. In 1921 Dr. Evans delivered ten commencement addresses in other schools 5 in 1922 the number increased to nineteen. This year, no doubt, he will receive still more calls, for his fame as a speaker is known in the thirty-one states in which he has spoken while on the chautauqua platform, or attending Bible conferences. Perhaps of most immediate consequence to college students are HPrexy's'l chapel talks. Character, manners, international problems, politics, religion, business, and social questions-all find a place in his daily addresses. Wlhether they are humorous, or serious, or admonitory, they never fail to Win at once attention, respect, and admiration. Vile do not Wonder that in lVl1O'S Ville of 1922-23 is listed prominently the name of Silas Evans. - -1 - --'W' ' Y ff ff' ,rg-l'f..gttgl'1 - -- eu! -- ----'-'- ---'-- 'v be 1. . pan mer - if 'I...D,2,K'E..,..iL2ra.1:.. f'a f'..,.,.iI2.fE4E.3.Ll,g,fE7f1.sJ Page 25
