DR. JAMES LEWIS HOWE A TRUE GENTLEMAN AND THE OLDEST IN POINT OF SERVICE OF THE FACULTY. DR. HOWE IS A MAN EQUALLY AT HOME IN AN ASSEMBLY OF THE WORLDS RANKING CHEMISTS OR IN THE MIDST OF HIS FIRST YEAR CLASS. HIS STUDIES IN REALMS OF WHICH THE AVERAGE MAN CAN GRASP LITTLE CONCEP- TION HAVE NOT CREATED IN HIM CONTEMPT FOR THOSE OF THE EVERYDAY. HE HAS THE TOLERANCE BORN FROM VAST KNOWLEDGE. YET IT IS TRUE. FRIENDLY TOLERANCE. NOT CONDESCENSION. SUCCEEDING YEARS HAVE NOT TOUCHED HIM HARSHLY NOR MADE OF HIM A CRABBED CONSERVATIVE. YET NEITHER HAVE THEY PASSED HIM OVER. RATHER HAVE THEY GIVEN HIM A SENSE OF VALUES POSSESSED BY FEW. HIS STUDIES HAVE TAUGHT HIM THAT BECAUSE A THING IS NEW. IT IS NOT NECESSARILY GOOD. AS YOUTH MAINTAINS, NOR BAD. AS AGE WOULD HAVE IT. PERHAPS IT IS THIS CONCEP- TION WHICH GIVES DR. HOWE HIS ADMIRED SOUNDNESS. BRIEFLY. THEN, WHAT THE YEARS HAVE ACTUALLY DONE IS TO GIVE HIM THE POWER OF GUIDING THE HANDS OF YOUTH BY LEAVING HIM IN FULL POSSESSION OF THE SPIRIT WHICH MOVES THOSE HANDS.
