lbrnfessur ilillahisnn Qllair Bates, Q. . , WELL known story ofa Greek philosopher tells how he .7 i l' carried a lighted lantern as he walked about the streets of 'Sgr - Athens. When asked the reason for this practice he replied. t LD l am looking for a man. This search is going on continually. Occasionally one is found who is brave without being boastfulg scholarly without being pedantic: loyal and big-hearted without the sacrifice of dignity or of straight- forward honestyg one who loves truth and plain speaking as he practices the gentle manners that go far to make life worth living. When such a man is found the world delights to do him honor. In the little world that makes up the South Dakota State College. the same sharp lookout is kept for people with manly qualities. Such a man the students of this institution believe they have found in Professor Bates. Professor Bates was born on a farm near Galesburg, Illinois. in eighteen hundred and eighty-one. At eighteen years of age he entered Williams College where he received! the degrees of Bachelor of Arts and Master of Arts. A year after leaving Williams College he was awarded the degree of Master of Arts by Harvard University. In the year nineteen hundred and six he began his professional career as instructor of English in the University of Illinois, and a year later he accepted the chair of English in the South Dakota State College. ' It is. after all, thru his efficient training and manly qualities that he has won the hearts of the students. To the dull he is patient and kind, to the bright he is a stimulus, to all he is helpful and inspiring. Outside of the class- room he is a warm hearted friend among the students. Often he and Mrs. Bates are called upon to chaperon the various social functions. Professor Bates is well prepared for his work, and it is the wish of all that he remain here permanently. His saving sense of humor prevents him from taking his work or himself too seriously, and, at the same time--more fortunate than all-it prevents him from taking us too seriously. His meth- ods are exacting but they have not made hi.n any less human. He is simply a sane, honest. plain man, who has won and will hold out' esteem and love. X ,ff
