with the representatives of that part of the educational interests of the state, so that he was able to do much in the direction of the growth of what has been called the best state public school system crowned by a state university in the Union. In connection with state inspection of public schools and through courses of Uni- versity Extension lectures, in the giving of which in America he was one of the pioneers, he won a host of friends in Minnesota, who were greatly disappointed when the new University of Chicago made him a flattering offer to cast his lot with it and he decided to accept. In 1891 he was elected professor of history and dean of the faculties of arts, literature and science in this University, beginning his work in June, 1892, when he found on the ground President Harper, Dr. T. W. Goodspeed and Professor Frank F. Abbott. During that summer the president and professors Judson and Abbott held the first faculty meeting of the new institution, which was to open its doors on October 1st. Since that day Mr. Judson has been a conspicuous leader in every feature of University life. As an administrator he worked in close harmony with President Harper, cooperating earnestly with him in determining the countless details of government whichare inwrought into the structure of the University. As a member of both University Senate and University Council he has seen the development of the University to its present strength and has con- tributed more to its administrative history than any other living man. It was a just recognition of his unquestioned leadership inthe faculties that he was chosen by the trustees of the University to take up the burden of administration where President Harper laid it down. As a teacher Mr. Judson has been preeminently successful. In the second- ary work in Troy and in university service at Minneapolis and Chicago he has been a popular, helpful and conscientious instructor, winning the friendship and esteem of his pupils and stimulating them by sympathetic interest in endeavors to find themselves and then make their powers felt. With no affectation of pro- found scholarship, he has made himself an acknowledged authority in his special field and at the same time has erected no barrier between teacher and student to prevent that warmth of personal contact which wins and holds the heart as the years pass by. This has been the secret of his success. As more and more hon- orable positions have come to him and his varied talents and accomplishments have developed, he has kept the simplicity of heart and manner which have charac- terized him always. Like his master, Mark Hopkins, Mr. Judson has been the royal friend of his pupils, a wise and willing counselor, praising in times of success, encouraging in times of failure, and always winning through a personality radiating unselfishness.

Uhr 'iilvrtinn nf the Elgrvzihrnt ARRY PRATT JUDSON has earned his position as President of the Univer- sity of Chicago by faithful and constant service to the University ever since its founding and by his particularly efli- cient administration during the long illness of President Harper and during the year since the President's death. President Judson has brought the Uni- versity successfully through a trying period. Two years in this difficult position,fuliilling the duties of President of a great university under extreme disadvantages, he has shown his Worth and triumphed. During the last year of Doctor Harper's life the Presidents illness made it necessary for Doctor Judson, then Dean of the Faculties of Arts, Literature and Science, to assume intermittently the reins of administration and perform the duties of President. On the death of President Harper the work devolved entirely upon Dean Judson. His efficiency during the past year was beyond question, and accordingly, on January fifteenth, he was recommended by the Trustees' Com- mittee on Instruction and Equipment, as Acting President of the University. On the following day at a meeting of the Board of Trustees, Dean Judson was by unanimous vote elected Acting President. 15
