...students themselves, who have learned to honor and respect one who has so faithfully fulfilled the duties of his position for so many years. Few men have gained greater sympathy and esteem from those with whom they have come in contact; few men would leave behind a vacancy so hard to fill. Never unmindful of the dignity of his high position, he has yet ever been a true friend to all undergraduate interests; safely conservative in philosophy and in religion, he has yet been the best representative of that progressive liberality which is not laxness.
