V -f nometry. As Editor of the Worcester Polytechnic Institute Journal for eight years and a contributor to educational and mathematical period¬ icals, he is well known among all students. In 1911 he was appointed Acting President of the Institute, and immediately plunged, “with misgivings ,” he told us, into the added work. How little necessary were the misgivings is amply shown by the rapid strides made in the last two years. And all this work for others! A life of service and trust has well become the quiet, unassum¬ ing man who has become the friend of every student at the Institute and whose influence upon our lives cannot be measured, for who can predict at what points in our Future we are to show the effect that contact with his noble nature has made upon our characters? We tender him our thanks and sincere appreciation of his work in our behalf, hoping that in the years to come we may always co-op¬ erate and serve with him in his efforts for our Tech. 12
