In IIonoh ok Dr. Henry Clay White, Ph.D., F.C.S., D.Sc., LL.D. Professor of Chemistry, i'nivcrsity of (iconjia 1872 1922 UK Paxdoka, on behalf of the student body, esteems it a high privilege and honor to join with the entire alumni in commemorating the jubilee year of Dr. Henry Clay White, whose full half century of continuous and distinguished service to the University in the Chair of Chemistry will be complete at the coming Commencement. Dr. White came to Athens in 1872, when the A. M. College was established as the scientific department of the University. His life work has thus been intimately and effectively concerned in those changes and advances which have marked the rising importance of scientific knowledge, and under which Franklin College the seat of classical learning established by the State in 1801, has been added to and developed into the many-sided organization which the University now represents. In addition to his professional duties. Dr. White, as President of the A. M. College (1890-1907) was called upon to protect and advance this scientific department of the University before State and national legislatures during a period of very serious growing pains and dangerous uncertainties. He brought to this task rare abilities and devoted energies. His untiring effort and wise initiative did much to preserve and prepare our Alma Mater for her enlarging and ever more important influence upon the youth of the State. Dr. White has borne a no less sympathetic and gracious part in the social and intellectual life of the Faculty and students. The charm and cultured influences of his hospitable home are treasured bv hundreds of the alumni among their choicest memories of college days. For many years Dr. White has been a national figure in the world of science and letters. He worthily bears the highest awards and honors from many Universities and learned societies. It is with admiration and warm personal wishes that the Paxdoha congratulates Dr. White upon the completion of so long and so valuable service to the University and to the State. It congratulates also the University upon an occasion, rare in the annals of any institution, where, to such unusual length of service there is added such marked distinction of culture and scholarship, of achievement in her behalf, of personal influence and social sympathy which enriches and will continue always to enrich the ideals and traditions of this time honored seat of learning.
