p I eri erhaps the most admirable characteristic of Dr. Rufus B. von KleinSmid is his credo of living — thinking truly, feeling deeply, and acting wisely and determinedly. Before him he has placed this all-inclusive precept: Whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report . . . think on these things. Such is the man, Dr. von KleinSmid. Such is the head of a growing University in a growing community — some fifty acres of land and ten million dollars of buildings in the heart of Los Angeles. Such is the scholar, recipient of degrees from numerous universities in this and in foreign countries. Such is the educator, decorated by seven foreign countries. Such is the civic leader, honored and elected into dozens of educational, service, honorary and political organizations. White-haired, silver throated Dr. von KleinSmid — an enlightened leader of that group of intellectuals which bears the torch of international peace — believes in the leadership of vision, the ambition of the individual. He once said on this subject: Peradventure if one righteous man be found, a city may be saved; if one man learns the evils of disease, health may be restored; if one man scorns misery and poverty, the level of life may be raised; if one man hates injustice, freedom may become the common heritage of all; if one man seeks peace, the horrors of war may be made impossible. Such is the man. Dr. von KleinSmid.
