NEW HAMPSHIRE COLLEGE, 25 and treats them accordingly. In this age of terrific pursuit of the mighty dollar and the consequent specialization that is necessary for successful pursuit, his voice rings forth in the plea for a little more concentration and interest in the cultural things of life, a little finer appreciation of the qualities that go to make the man. We must have the specialist, but do let us insist on his being a man, able to adjust himself to the activities of other men and capable of proving that scientific education produces not arrogant theorists but practical men well grounded in theory. Ill Mr. Gibbs 'has been with the college as president since the summer of l903, during which time New Hampshire has been having its most prosperous growth. There has been an increase of one hundred per cent. in numbers. the standard for admission has been raised. and more men are beginning to come from city high schools. In addition to President Gibbs' inliuence on the numbers, he has succeeded in having six new buildings erected, Morrill Hall, the Greenhouses, the Gymnasium, the President's house, the Girls' Dormi- tory, which will be ready for occupancy in September, and the Library. The last named building is the best on the campus and is a Htting tribute to President Gibbs' allround energy, diplomacy and constant vigilance during its construction. ,QI -X as-We QL.

24 THE GRANITE.I909.VOL.I william Baath Gihha S we look back on the many years spent in school, we can not help trying to recall the essential characteristics in our different teachers that make iff . 0 X I them live in our hearts. Some have not left much impress upon us, V perhaps because of temperamental reasons. 'Others we have not liked, x, M X perhaps because of our lack of maturity, when we were being instructed. i We appreciate, however, that most of our teachers have done their full duty toward us, that all of them 'have been of great help to us. Were we asked, in such an analysis, to state the three qualities that tend to make a teacher achieve the best results, we should designate them as scholarship, ability to impart knowledge, and an honest sympathy with all phases of student activities. Ill President Gibbs, to whom THE GRANITE is respectfully dedicated, possesses all these qualities. His work as a scholar won for him election to the EE, a society of scholars in science. His research work in Agronomy at the University of Illinois, and at Ohio State University where he was Professor of Agronomy, as well as his experiments in the division of soils of the United States Department of Agriculture place him among the authorities in this country on Agronomy. . ill The best proof of his teaching ability lies in the fact that many of his former students are doing most effective work in soils, not only in state colleges but also in the Department of Agriculture at Washington, and that much of the apparatus used in soil physics labora- tories was invented by him. He is a born teacher and even now takes the greatest delight, when as president he visits the various high schools in the state, in showing the pupils the practical application of a mathematical problem to their work in the shop. on the farm, or in the forest. When he instructs, the pupils become interested at once, for he has just the kind of energy that keeps them keen, eager and thoroughly attentive. qi The third quality, honest sympathy with 'student activities, is a rare one and is usually born with the man. Many teachers fail in this one point, thereby nullifying the benefit they might do to others by reason of their sound scholarship, by their inability to see the student's view point. As a student naturally craves contact with his superiors and seldom abuses the privilege, the adaptalble teacher is in great demand and gets the abundant mental compensation that makes teaching the best of professions. ll President Gibbs is of this sort and through his ability to see the stuclent's point of view has gotten a remarkable hold on the student body of New Hampshire College He is not a dictator. He is more like the father who trusts his boys, who believes that they are men
