THE INTEGRAL had passed. So he resigned, severed all con- nection with the college, and went to California. However, before the year was up, the school had run so far behind in its expenses, and things were goin: so badly, that all his partners were writing him, requesting that he return, which he did. This means thirty-seven years of continuous service as President of Tri-State College, barring this one year. President Sniff is, and has been, an idealist. In coming here he had a vision of the school that was to be, and the service he could render. Whatever Tri-State is, and is not, is due to his great faith, coupled with hard and unremittin: work.

Folks say il' Professor isn't catching fish, none are being caught. He has the true sportsman spirit, and takes great pride in his fine shotgun, reels, rods and fishing tackle. Ht- is a profound, philosophical thinker, and a great reader. keeping well informed upon -ill the topics of the times. Up until the last few years he spent some time each year lecturing at teachers' institutes. conventions, commence- ments, dedications etc. Some of his speeches written twenty years ago seem almost prophetic when read today.
