Rev. Charles T. Aikens, A. President Professor of Psychology and Ethics It is with pleasure that we present the name of Rev. Charles T. Aikens, A. M., as President of Susquehanna University. He is a man full of hope and enthusiasm, true to his convictions, true to the principle of honor and right. His motto, Be good, is so well lived by him that no one can be in his presence without feeling that noble influence. He is a gentleman, kind and loving, vigorous and fearless. He enters into all the life of the college. His speeches are neat and witty, always fitted to the occasion. To him the students can ever point as a model, a generous-hearted, honest, noble-spirited man, one of whom we are justly proud and whom we admire. President Aikens, son of A. J. and Lucinda (nee Hassenplug) Aikens, was born in Siglerville, Mifflin County, Pa., December 14, 1860. He taught in the public school near his home from 1877 to 1880. He was enrolled as a student of Missionary Institute in 1881 and graduated in 1883. He also graduated at Gettysburg College and Seminary in 1885 and 1888, respectively. He taught in the Gettysburg Pre- paratory Department for three years. In 1886 and 1887 he was representative of Inter Seminary Alliance at Rochester, N. Y., and Alexandria, Va.

Since 1888 he has been the pastor of the Pine Grove Mills charge, in Centre county, Pa. He was President of Central Pennsylvania Synod for four years. Mr. Aikens was also identified with a considerable number of business interests in State College and Centre county. In 1900 he was chosen as one of the directors of Susquehanna University. In 1905, owing to his well-known qualities as a pastor and his unusual executive and business abilities, he was called to the Presidency of the University. President Aikens has taken great interest in his responsible position and has already started Susquehanna on such an upward movement that we believe it will be but a few short years until Susquehanna I niversity will rank among the foremost institutions of our State.
