Such a noble institution under such cour- ageous leadership did much to break down the barriers of class distinction, then common, and brought to our country a true de- mocracy, not only in education, but also in our entire social existence. By his living example he brought to thousands of men the ideal of a true Christian life of service and helpfulness.
