were adopted New Jersey would enjoy a tenn

day night by the men and women whom he had
marshaled for the work Of raising national edu-
cational standards was fitting tribute 10 a
man of unique usefulness. The educationa!
world commonly honors two classes of men.
the great teachers and the givers OF great
endowments. Mr.. Ogden belongs 10 neither
class. He heads university manages no
educational system. He is not a man OF great
wealth. and his gifts TO institutions, though
generous. not relatively large. His faculty
has been to bring together all classes Of persons
to advance education. to lead college presidents
in the path of educational statesnlanship and to
show mllionares the road to wise benefcence.
He has been the inspiration Of a great move
ment of democracy which is intent on making all
