Author Testis the Worker. —Who ' s Who in Am. The above, quoted from Who ' s Who, is coldly eloquent of the deeds, things ■done, not promises, of this man. For six years now, President of Southwestern, lie has before him and in the present the greatest task of any he has put his hand to, — the building of a greater Southwestern. There has been no cessation of toil to this end since he came here in 1911. The industry and devoted attention of the man to details are qualities inevitably leading to success. Certainly if the habit of hard, expert headwork is the index of intellectual greatness. Dr. Bishop must be accounted among the celestials. We have named his least qualities first, the better follow. In character, which is the beginning and end in the discussion of a man, there are two qualities whose possession denominates a man to critic and casual, — courage and sincerity. The terms are almost equivalent, but they light two aspects of the same funda- mental quality of nobility. The President of Southwestern University is morally and intellectually courageous and sincere. Although a member of the M. E. Church, South, he refuses to let others do his religion up in a package and deliver, sound condition guaranteed, A.A.A.-l quality Methodism, Wesley mfg., inc. He thinks as keenly on matters of bel ief as the most enthusiastic heretic, and comes to as sound conclusions as the most orthodox defender of the faith, pro- vided the latter is brainy. The combination of scholarship and executive ability is rare and consequently as well as intrinsically valuable. When it is found we have a Woodrow Wilson or a Charles M. Bishop. The crowd seldom notes nor appreciates the finer ele- ments of leadership in a superior. Hence, popularity with the more capably observant would be expected of such a man as Dr. Bishop. College men are notoriously merciless critics, and their approbation is that of the connoisseur. When a faculty head or a faculty member receives the respect and regard from a student body that is accorded Dr. Bishop by the students of Southwestern, he may be called truly popular and possessed of all the attributes of a successful col- lege president.
