in Dr. Alexander Grant Ruthven has guided the University of Michigan toward the realization of his ideal, the preparation of youth for World citizenship . The achievements of his first ten years as President will be followed by even greater ac- complishments in the next decade, for it is his belief that a University can never be finished. When it ceases to improve it begins to decline. In his anniversary speech, President Ruthven said, Not more verbal instruction, not more prescribed courses, not more legislation designed to place teachers and students in straight jackets, but more opportunities for growth and more actual experience in communal living are now the great needs in most institutions of higher learning. May we soon be able to say of Michigan ' s kind of education that it not only supplies expert training and general knowledge but also ' inculcates principles, polishes tastes, regulates temper, cultivates reason, subdues the passions, directs the feelings, habituates to reflection, trains to self-denial . . . . a scholar, a scientist, a curator, an administrator, a builder, a duck hunter, and a horseman. Any man who can do all of these things is bound to end up as a university president. Page 13
