THE CAROLINIAN ciuk ' a ' iir and unseltish service. Courage, ])atiencc, tolerance, self-reliance, patriolism, faith, self-control and, above all, a laudable desire to extend a helpins( hand to others — these were fruits of the s])irit, jjriceless in value and immeasur- able in influence. This was the C ' ulk ' e as .Mcl er founded it — not a local habita- tion of brick and stone, but a imwer in human life. Important as are these ser -iccs the ' constilnte but a |iart of the labors which won for Dr. .Mclver State and uatinnal recn ;niti( .n as an eihicational leader and statesman. He was, Ui (piote the words nt one editnrial and the substance of hund reds of tilers, the State ' s must useful citizen, a leading force in every movement Inokint;- for prnL;i-ess in Xi.rth Carolina. . ])preciative estimates ap])earing in our national journals. si,ch as 77 ,- Jl ' orhfs Work and The Outlook. referred to him as ] kTver of Xdrth Cai-olina and declared him to be the soul of the forward movement in his region. Df the extent and wide variety of Dr. Alclver ' s public service space does not permit us to speak. Nor may we even give a list of the honors conferred upon him, or the names of the scores of organizations to which he belonged. Some of these latter, such as the Xorih Carojina ketniion Association and the Women ' s lietterment Association, he organizeil: many of them, includitig the National Educational . ssiiciation, the Southern Educational Assnciatidn. the Southern Educational Hoard and the North Carolina Teachers ' .Vsseniblw he served in an official capacity; and all of them, local. State and national, felt tlie guiding influence of his wonderfully helpful and inspiring personality. Beginning with his first educational labors at Durham in 1881 and continuing to his lamented death, September 17, 1906, Dr. JMcIver gave to North Carolina and to humanity twenty-five years of active and beneficent service. Who shall estimate its value? dlo shall reckon its ever-continuing and ever-multi])lying influence? The Ceneral .Vssemhly has seen lit tc erect a memorial building in his honor. This is well, for it adds to the efficiency of an institution whose mission it is to serve the people of North Carolina. Others have said: The College is his monument. Look about you — all this we owe to Alclver. This is true and we do well to bear it in memory. But in a truer, larger sense, the ever-living Alclver memorial is the blessed influence of his life in others. It lives today, when we who knew him. and loved him, and leaned hard w Km him gratefully recognize its abitling influence; and it will endure — such our faith and consolation — till time shall be no more.
