Excerpt from Cyclops, 1909, Vol. 4 The members of this Board, as well as the members of the 010 Board Of Trustees, can all bear cheerful testimony to his tireless devotion to the institution, through his long period of service Of 36 years. In this long period of time he has seen the institution grow in power and in usefulness. Largely through his powerful in¿uence with friends, in the Legislature and out of it, the college now owns four well appointed buildings well equipped for successful work. Even in his last protected illness, through weary hours Of almost ceaseless pain, his eye would brighten and his face grow radiant at the reports of a larger attendance and growing facilities for better work in the institution. In one Of his last reports to the Governor he said: For 36 years I have presided over the Board Of Trustees and directed as best I could, the destiny Of the school. The enfeebled condition of my worn-out body admonishes me that this may be my last report to the Governor and to the General Assembly. I had hoped to round out forty years Of my ministry of education in this section Of the State, but it may be that I Shall be called away before the time comes to make another annual report. If this be my last word, let me make it an earnest word to the Governor and to the Legislature, cherish this child Of my afi'ection.
