ADMINISTRATION ROBERT ERNEST VINSON, B. A., D. D., LL. D., President of the University of Texas, is known to all students of the University, to all others in Texas, and to most of the United States, as an adminis- trator and educator. Ernest Vinson, the man, is little known. A lover of sports, he drops his fly accurately when he fishes for a trout or grayling in a clear stream, and on the golf course his opponent must be at the top of his game if he is to win. While he has been heard to address a hooked trout in Hebrew, Greek, Latin, German, and English, he has also been seen to keep a profane silence when, as the best golfers may, he misses an eight-inch putt. A lover of books, his taste in read- ing is catholic, ranging from the penny dreadful to the deepest polemics of theology; his judgments thereon are accurate and dis- criminating, and what of value they offer is his for all time. A lover of life and of the true things of life, he weighs and values their phrases accurately and justly, and, with a smile on his face, goes in the way of a gentleman simple and pure. A lover of men, he gives, with infinite tact, all that he has and all that he is, to forward the highest ideals of thinking and of living in those with whom he can find a point of con- tact. An humble lover of his Master and minister of His gospel, he meets the daily adventures of living firm in the conviction of the cer- tainty and justice of that Master ' s judgment, and content to have them passed on him. As he would be judged he judges others. So does he live for what he is, a Christian gentleman of the best type. —W.A. R.
