C6071 cellar fu ch fe!-QffDlbrec'z'a foxy T is easy to sing lays, to compose epitaphs, to write eulogies or to address panegyrics to the warrior who has lain aside his armor. It is more difficult to appreciate in the present. And it is most difiicult of all to evaluate and recognize ability in its true perspective before deeds become achievements, and battles victories. Properly to write an eulogy to Chancellor Emeritus Henry Augustus Buchtel. no words are expressive enough, no phrases quite adulatory enough, no single pen of suihcient cogency. His deeds, his whole life-every day of it-have done this in far better fashion than can any factitious word now. He needs no other eulogy than the University itself, for every stone in it speaks of him, every note of praise its reputation elicits can better be addressed to him alone, every graduate, wherever he may be, is a tribute to his efforts and his unselfish zeal. Dr. Buchtel is not, where we who have been of the University longer, were wont to see him-there in his office in University Hall. Another sits in his chair. uses his ofiice. But in a larger sense he is with us every day: he is not tangible, but he is here, and he will never leave us. The traditions of the lfniversity are his tra- ditionsg so is its spirit and its ideals too. His fineness and his teachings are a part of the University of Denver. For twenty-one years Dr. Buchtel was the head of the University of Denver. Then the school was not what it is now. Far from it. Then it was oppressed under the heel of debt. Then it was impeccably small. Then it had no future to speak of. According to all precedents and rules it should have failedg it should have existed for a year or two, perhaps five or ten, then have dropped from sight. One man who gave twenty-one years of his life prevented thisg made the University we know today of so unfavorable genesis. Dr. Buchtel is the man. His victories are well knowng his ability is recognized, his memory is cherished in a thousand hearts -no man needs more. ten
