t'ffortii for civil improvement, the struggles ami aspirations of the Church, all come into his heart, ami for them all he plans and labors. Inside of the school he holds as a harmonizing center, the respect ami affection alike of his faculty and his students. His trials amid the long adversities of the school have been like those of Washington at Valley Forge, but he has listed not a jot of heart ami hojie. Ever has then- been light in his spirit, that. too. “knowing he has wings,” and like a storm-shaken bird, could fly to happier fields. Many a call he has declined for the cowardly look it might wear if he acceded. He knows what voice called him here, and here he will stay until that same voice countermand. Nor is his work here embittered by failure. As a speaker he is more sought than any in Colorado, ami far away where orators aliouml. his calls an- beyond his meeting. Those who oftenest listen would listen oftener still. His leisun- for literary pnductiou is scant, yet he is widely known ami welcomed. “Age cannot wither him nor cusUmi stale his infinite variety.” The school's welfnre under him is marvelous. Every form of discouragement seems often lowering over it. yet its present life goes far to assun- its futun , and to him beyond the pn-sent rises that fnr-n-aching future. Therefore he thauks God and takes courage. Carlyle having deeply studied the Great Protector’s deeds and words, says. Oliver believes in God, not on Sundays only, but on all days, in all places, and in all cases.” So does our Chancellor. A. B. H.

He might have «nld«d that the task is easier from the fact that errors of either fact or opinion can. while all is warm and plastic, be the more gently competed. Our Chancellor is to-day between life’s junior nt thirty-five ami that ]mntllel at forty-five marked of old as separating juvenis and senex. It is the noontide glow in the midst of the yean , when morning clouds are gone nnd evening slindes an still below the horizon. He came now nine years ago to the University, when it was half way from clmos to order, full of “life, hope and aspiration, and his qualities at once began to apiiear. His physical equipment proved equal to any reasonable demand. He is tall, symmetrical, and so |X)iscd in movement that signs of spinal fatigue rarely appear. He is alert, and muscular for his favorite tennis. He can. with his full, gentle voice, easily Ik heard by all. speak easily and long with varying rate and energy; he can study intensely, recall promptly, and. not the least, sleep soundly. He iiingnitiiw his office. Order is nature's first law.” His first effort was to frame of such attendance as he found the skeleton of class which might in due time he clothed. He arranged lectures, departments, and soon all was moving like the stellar systems, though stars were few. and so it is still moving. In his work he is well lubricated by an unfailing sense of humor. Some tendency of this may come from his far Scotch pedigree. He feel the absurd and the witty near neighbors to the wise and the (mthetic. and is h born pendulum between a smile and a tear.
