"I am very happy to take advantage of this occasion to say a word with reference to the presidential succession. . . In the three years since he joined our teaching force there has been one of our colleagues. He is a scholar of the first rank, a man of strong, true character, with humor, vision and a deep spiritual, nature. He will be a wise administrator, fitting with exceptional adaptation into the traditions of our college. I predict for his leadership a success in keeping with that of the best of his predecessors.
