dr. j. hillis miller looking to the future Mere words written in praiw of the late President J. Ilillis Miller’» accomplishment must necessarily fall into the shadows of insignificance when plaoeil l e idr the tangible, concrete results of his unceasing drive to build this university into an institution unegualcd in tin south. This desire for expansion went far beyond plans for a more extensive physical plant. Ilis striving for continuous improvement of the curriculum has shown its effect, and will undoubtedly continue to do so in the future. President Miller was never too busy to take lime out from his grueling tasks to help students. staff and faculty with any problems they might encounter. His willingness to assist all persons connected with the university made people aware that lie was more than a great president—he was n great man. The loss of President J. Ililli-Miller will ever l e fell, but let us never forget that hi« ideas, his industry, and crrlainlv hi spirit have made an impression in the molding of this school that will never be erased as long ns the institution stand . 4
