His agile mind helped lay the bricks and hammer the nails, and his indomitable courage spurred it over several seem- ingly insurmountable hurdles. Then, when it was com- pleted, he opened its doors and filled it with a full measure of his own unquenchable spirit.

There was considerable alarm as well as despond- ency at the shocking news. Few could picture the University without him at the helm. But Dr. Ashe had charted his course quite plainly. It was an easy one to follow. Bowman Ashe was restless as a boy, dynamic as a man. Genius as a president.
