AN ESTIMATE OF THE MAN


fitness, the growing needs of THE SOUTH'S MOST PRO-
GRESSIVE EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION.
 "May the spirit of our departed president, loved by all,
be the first exalted tradition of our nationally known Uni-
versity.
 "The day is done and night drawn near,
 With darkness comes reflection,
 Of such a life, one need not fear,
 The voice of retrospection."




 OUR LEADER


E RULED with kindness. Men are won, he knew, by love;
IThat golden rule of life he found within the Book.
He ruled with wisdom straightly sent him from above.
He ruled with patience that misfortune never shook.

He ruled with dignity becoming to a king,
Yet firm, by winds of doctrine never turned aside.
He ruled with vision. When the crows were clamoring,
He saw beyond, to where the true and false divide.

He ruled with loyalty to man and faith in God.
He ruled with honesty and purity of heart.
His even-handed justice needed not the rod;
From righteousness and mercy he could not depart.

The measure of his greatness we can never know.
However hard the task, he smiled and said, "I can."
Our wonder grows, as looking on this world below,
We see how, when the need is great, God sends a man.
