and acquainted with her needs. He went to her as a son. The twenty- one years of his minority were passed at and in the vicinity of this insti- tution. He had known her all his life. He had known her faculty and her students. He had been familiar with her history, her traditions. her aims, her struggles, her vicissitudes, her triumphs, and he had gone out frotn the shadow of her gray old walls with her benison on his head and her image in his heart. He felt that the call of the trustees was the call of God. He accepted it freely and unhesitatingly, and on the 26th day of june, 1894, he was inducted into the ofiice of president under auspices the most favorable and happy. His inaugural address on that occasion struck the keynote of his character and marked out his mind's plan and his heart's wish for old Union. He said: H The College exists for the development of good citizens. The college itself must be intensely and pre-eminently democratic, the persistent enetny of all fictitious distinctions between man and man. 'L The college as the conservator of honor must teach it as a virtue. This suggests the inf'luence, not of books so much as of men, the atmosphere of strong personality, the touch of noble character. The Christianity of the college must be the Christianity not of pre- cept nor of creed, but of life. The spirit of an institution is of more far-reaching influence than its curriculum. These all are noble truths well stated. No son, no friend of Union could wish her course laid down and carried out on better, broader, higher lines than these. And there is no son nor friend of Union but who will heartily join in the closing sentence of that hne and manly inaugural address: That the Union of the future may repeat the vigorous life, the high aims and the public service of the Union of the past is the prayer, the hope, the con- fidence of every loyal son.
