AN ESTIMATE OF THE MAN 139

 "He treated his workers more like a father than a task-
master, always inquiring after their health and happiness.
How solicitous was he in his zeal that they get sufficient rest
and proper recreation from their labors which they were in-
clined to overdo because of his methods. There were no
slackers in his whole organization.
 "How well I recall last summer when he 'stayed on the
job' but insisted that I get a vacation and rest. When I re-

was sent to New York and Boston to look over the field and
get the best organ, which he did. His last request to me was,
'Klein, we must get the money to encase it this year,' and he
meant it. No man was more modest or guarded more zeal-
ously the good name of the University. He cared not for
wealth nor fame.
 "I recall the year Wm. J. Bryan broached the question of
 presenting his name to the Democratic Convention for their
 representative as president of our great country. He was loath
