lllllq' G BPSFWITE Q' liz! other man on the campus won quite the same place of affectionate admiration in the hearts of the students. He was one of themselves who had gone before and shown them that the things they coveted could be attained. He achieved a somewhat analagous position out through the state when, as the representative of the college, he went out to talk to farmers. orchardists, busi- ness men, and the political forces, showing them what the college could and should do for them, for their boys and girls, and through them for the state and nation. From the beginning he was closely associated with the broader phases of the college administration, and the fact that he had been admitted to the bar both in Wisconsin and in Oregon, made it natural that the president should often place the legislative interests of the institution in his hands. Here his rare combina- tion of solid judgment and pleasant fellowship won sympathetic and attentive hearing for the college bills when they came up for discussion. It would be in- teresting to know just how large a proportion of the votes cast for college appro- priations those nine years were of his persuasion. He knew the value of what the college had to offer, and his faith was of the contagious sort. In his organ- ization and development of the extension service he had the same sort of enthu- siasm for the interests of the state that he had for those of the college. In 1911 he returned to X!VlSCO11Sl11 to marry Estelle H. Heineman, who had been his sweetheart since babyhood. His fourth child was born just before he assumed his duties as President of New Hampshire College in August, 1917. VVhen, in 1918, President Hopkins of Dartmouth College conferred upon President Hetzel the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws, he said in part: Bearer to our sister college within the state of the virility and progressive- ness of educational ideals of the middle westg experienced not only in college ad- ministration, but in the practical methods of making learning available to large constituenciesg leader in a held of education whose wise development will make contribution to the nation's welfare well nigh beyond the bounds of imagi- nation, we welcome you to your position of educational leadership -in New Han1pshire.', The first year of his presidency, Mr. Hetzel was put to the crucial test of making an -institution equipped for barely seven hundred students and financed on a war economy basis, take care of more than double that number for the Stu- dent Army Training Corps. There were barracks, mess hall, and additional shop buildings to be erected, something like one hundred and fifty thousand dollars worth of additional equipment needed, and an appalling amount of auxiliary ex- penditure absolutely necessary. It took vast courage and herculean effort to sur- mount the obstacles and shoulder the load. Yet President Hetzel did it, and brought the college through with flying colors. Although he has been in New Hampshire only a little over two years, he has already identified himself and the college with the progressive organizations and institutions of the state. And the student body? Their attitude was voiced recently by a freshman, who was over- heard to say, just put it up to the President. He'11 give you a square deal every time! 9
