iS .L. H. Y. Benedict President of the University President Benedict has for more than forty- three years been an outstanding figure in the development of the University and of the State at large. To him have been referred many of the multifarious problems arising in connection with the development of education in a great State. Many of the virtues of our present educational system can be traced to the initiative and courage of President Benedict. As President of the University he has come to represent the finest traditions, and in him and his work there has been developed a confidence and trust which merits the highest commendation. The Uni- versity has found its highest expression in the production of such a man as President Benedict. The CTactus IQSI i.i i Is M Page 15
