though declining office for himself. He had been repeatedly urged to accept nomination for the mayoralty. In 1907, after his party had been twice defeated, the call seemed imperative. The people’s verdict was recorded in his election by a plurality of nearly 1700, the largest ever given in Worcester to a Republican in a first-year contest. Some years ago, with much hesitation because of his engrossing busi¬ ness cares, Mr. Logan was asked to lecture on “ Business Organization ” before an Institute class. His reply, prompt and characteristic as it was gratifying, was: “I’ll do it! I ' ll be glad to do it!” The lectures made a strong impression, and later served as a basis of a similar course, delivered at other colleges. In recognition, Dartmouth conferred upon the lecturer the degree of Master of Arts. In 1900 Mr. Logan became a Trustee of the Institute, bringing to the board eminent qualifications for such service—tact in dealing with men, keen business sense and large financial experience, and strong faith in and enthusiasm for Tech and Tech’s future. Two years ago, when the Hill estate was on the point of falling into t he hands of a purchaser who planned to cover it with “three-deckers,” it was James Logan, this adopted son of Tech, who by his own generous example and by his personal appeals got together the five Alumni who joined with him in paying the $25,000 necessary to prevent the threatened profanation of the Tech campus. It was a characteristic manifestation of the foresight, of the readiness to put forth personal effort, and of the contagion of unselfish leadership wdiich have made many an enterprise go forward when James Logan put his shoulder to the wheel. Strength to his shoulder! May he live long and prosper!
