Charles Wesley Flint . . . . almost unknown in the realm of higher learning when he came to Syra- cuse eight years ago, has today proven himself to be one of the foremost leaders in education in the East, and has endeared himself to all Syracusans as a foresighted, capable executive and a worthy successor to the great Chancellors of the past. B When Chancellor Flint assumed his duties, he found a University that was in the midst of the critical transition from a mediocre group of colleges to a first class single educational unit — a University that badly needed a strong hand to guide it. dB Undismayed by the size of the task he had undertaken, Dr. Flint at once set about to increase the internal strength of Syracuse, at which he has been labor- ing unceasingly ever since. i ■■ Lest some of us for- get the changes he has effected, let us pass over a few of them in brief review, m The Col- lege of Law, and the Schools of Home Eco- nomics and Library Science have been completely reorganized; a medical center has been established at Syracuse with the Memorial Hospital as the nucleus; Personnel de- partments for men and women have been inaugurated; a new power plant and the Hendricks ' Chapel have been constructed; and most important of all, the standards of admission, and the scholastic requirements for graduation have been raised considerably. Such a record of achievement certainly gives great tribute to Chancellor Flint. ™ This does not mean that his task is ended, however, but merely begun, for he can reach his goal only when every loyal son and daughter of Bill Orange is working for the same result — better Syracuse. • We offer this as a word of praise and encouragement, hoping that the Viking courage and boldness which has been our theme, will mark also the future of Syracuse University and of Chancellor Charles Wesley Flint. fl
