A Message from the Board of Curators No one could better felicitate President Wood upon his twenty-five years of achievement as head of Stephens College than the Curators of that institution. They have stood face to face with problems which he has mastered by the exercise of his will and personality. The Curators can best vision the picture as it was before Mr. VVood began and as it is today. Sometimes the question is asked: 'tHow do you explain the rank Stephens College has attained ll'1 recent years? For us the answer is James Madison VVood. The transformation has been due to no upturn in business, to no chance or accident, and to no windfall of good fortune. For a quarter of a century he has put into this task the energy of his mind, body and spirit. He offers a brilliant example of what may be done when ability is backed with faith and perse- verance in a cause which a man honestly believes can contribute to the advancement of humanity. Intelligence and hard work have been the secret of his success. It has taken more than a Hair for education. It has demanded judgment in the selection of people, versatility and resource- fulness in meeting emergencies, and skill in determining values. VVhen Mr. VVood came to Stephens College he assumed a great responsibility. For twenty-five successive years he has managed its affairs without an operating deficit, has increased the student attendance sixteen-fold and built up income to approximately twenty times the volume at the beginning of his administration. Physical properties have been tremendously extended. I believe one would be safe in saying this is probably without precedent in the history of American institutions. The anniversary celebration which has been arranged would have to be great in scope to transcend the importance of Mr. VVood,s achievements. The Curators of the College have seen him tested and have seen him meet one crisis after another. He has no more loyal supporters than the members of this Board. It gives me pleasure to offer this word of appreciation for his devoted and distinguished service. Cordially yours, HUGH STEPHENS, President FRANK W.
