aw 1005 CORKS AND CURLS n w undergraduate work and Page thus had leisure and opportunity for resuming his labors in research. His text-book 0n the application of the methods of the theory of transformations to ordinary differential equations, represents the fruit of these earlier sessions. But the Faculty and Visitors were not slow to- dis- cover that by gift of nature as well as by force of experience Page possessed un- ' usual administrative and executive powers. Gradually more and more Of this work was conhded to him. F irst he was made the Dean of the Academical Department. Then upon Dr. Barringeris resignation of the Chairmanship in 1903, he was selected by the Visitors to act as Chairman of the Faculty. Such honorable and weighty appointments furnish to any man great opportunities for noble and useful work. But they eat up time and energy, until the burdened professor feels that Science begins to look upon him as an apostate and with rebellious affection turns back to his well-beloived tasks. The success, which marked Pageis conduct of the Chairmalfs thce, pro- foundly gratitied his friends and has been a cause of just congratulation t0 the University. It was a difficult period. The Visitors had determined to elect a President, and this appointment was simply for the interim. Unseemly wrangles had embittered feeling and averted the good-will 0f long-enduring friends. Fac- ulty and students alike felt that the year was a year of transition, and that from Pandora's unopened box anything might spring. It needed more than the average of fidelity and courage to attempt the task, more than the average of wisdom and sanity and calmness and good temper to bring it to a successful issue. That amidst such perplexities and troubles the work of the University went peacefully and steadily forward; that her numbers were increased, and her finances were bettered; that her old friends were brought back to their allegiance and enlisted for new labors in her serviceaall this is due first and foremost to Page. When at last the- Visitors discovered the right man for the Presidency, it was still Page who con- ducted the campaign for the opening session ofthe new administration. It was Page, who turned over the University to President Alderman with the largest number of students ever registered upon her rolls. TO-day we extend to him our thanks and our felicitations, joined with the hope that amidst these abundant labors and exacting toils there may have rested always upon his heart the brave motto of his ancestral house, it Spe labor levisfi
