Hen- drick of Portland, Oregon, president of the university. President Hendrick was born in Frankford, Ontario, June 26, 1871 ; was prepared for college at the Owen Collegiate Institute and graduated from the University of Toronto in 1897, finishing the work in three years. He was the winner of the Alexander MacKenzie scholarship in history and political science, and an honor man in language and mathematics. He pur- sued graduate work in Queens ' College, and is a graduate of the Ontario Normal College. In 1902 he became the head of the English department in Whitman College, Washington, and served as Dean of the Faculty and Secretary of the Board of Overseers.

President Stubbs was suddenly striken and passed away on May 27, 1914. He died literally in the harness and his whole soul was wrapped up in the success of the institution he loved so well. With his administra- tion ended the building of the University as an institution solely for the Manzanita Hall under-graduate and the resident student. The policies of institutions change and the time had arrived for extending the work out into the vastly greater field among the people of the State. The passage of the Smith-Lever act by Congress appropriating $10,000 for agricultural extension work in the field and not in the uni- versity class rooms, made it possible at last to meet the everyday problems that vex the citizen. The Board of Regents, consisting of Dr. H. E. Reid, president ; Asha- ton A. Codd, James W. O ' Brien, Charles B. Henderson and Walter E. Pratt, sought for a successor to Dr. Stubbs who had not only the educational 26
